KINGLAKE FOOTBALL
NETBALL CLUB
REPORT

Reserves
The game started off well with the boys having most of the ball in the first quarter but not making the most of the opportunity’s and only kicking 1.2 to take a seven-point lead into quarter time.
The second quarter was another even contest until probably half way through the quarter when Powelltown started using the corridor and getting the ball into there forwards quickly but like us in first quarter didn’t put on enough scoreboard pressure to only take a two-point lead into half-time.
A yellow card late in seconnd quarter meant we only had 17 on ground for most of the third and Powelltown kicked five goals, playing well for most of that quarter.
Once we got our 18th player back on ground we kicked three goals in a row quickly before three quarter time giving us all the momentum going into the fourth but still trailing by 15 points. We hit the front in the last and we kicked three goals to Powelltown’s one goal which was all that was needed by the Demons to win the game by four points.
Luke Harris, James Walker and Jesse Rabjones all played well.
Powelltown 8.6 (54) d Kinglake 7.8 (50)

Seniors
The first quarter was fairly even and the boys went into quarter time down by nine points.
The second quarter was a tough one though with Powelltown getting a 50-metre penalty which then started a run on and Powelltown owned the quarter by kicking six goals to our one.
Similar to the first quarter our boys competed quite well at times kicking three goals but still allowed Powelltown to win the quarter by kicking four. The final term was one to forget for us with Powelltown really locking down and not allowing us to score at all in the last quarter. They also made the most of all the opportunities inside 50 by kicking six goals. Matt Quinton can hold his head up high with a best on ground performance, Jayden Butterworth as always tried all day and Mason Mcallister played well also.
Overall a disappointing day for the seniors.
Powelltown 20-17 (137) d Kinglake 7.6 (48)
H
D-Grade Lost 19-21
Ladder position: 4th (based on %)
Best: Ebony Keenan
This was a goal-for-goal game. Both teams weren’t letting up and Kinglake took the lead after the first quarter being 4-6.
The second term saw both team level the score with a low scoring quarter showing how handy our defence end is with Lisa Sazonov and Marnie Bentley looking to steal Powelltown’s feeds.
Still even at three-quarter time made it a fierce final quarter as both teams knew that the team who can control the play will be victorious. Kinglake had a mature mid court with Errin White, Stacey Chalmers and Jayde Stoneman controlling the play, however with some unforced errors Powelltown converted on our mistakes and stole the game by two.

C- Grade Lost 24-28
Ladder position: 4th (based on %)
Best: Danielle Moore
After witnessing the close game prior to C- Grade we all knew it was going to be a close game for them as well.
By the end of the first quarter Powelltown only led by 1. Jac Jac Jacqui and Olivia Turner-Dickason worked hard to bring Kinglake back up level and at times we managed to close the gap however we still trailed bytwo going into the final quarter.
A stronger and more positive team then last week saw the girls lift and run out the final minutes of the game.
Patricia Turner and Danielle M did their best to convert as many balls as they could however Powelltown were cleaner in the mid court today, taking the game by four.

B- Grade: Game called off; 2 points each
1st quarter 6-5
Ladder: 4th
Best on: Molly Rose McAllister
The Kinglake Bs came out firing showing a much more controlled attacking end, with patient feeding into the ring from Stacey Norbury and Molly McAllister.
Unfortunately an injury time was called from Powelltown which saw the paramedics being called and the game being delayed.
With the time off, the league made the decision to end the game due to time restrictions and saw both teams take two points each. Powelltown’s player is fine and only suffering from a sprained ankle.
From what the first quarter produced this would have been a great game and Molly earnt the best on with her control and patience.

A- Grade 48-38 3rd (based on %)
Best: Nakita Lastrina
Coaches: Renee Wilson
Coming off an exciting win against Yea Kinglake knew that they still had to bring home the win as the top three teams sit equal with minor percentage separating them.
Lakers started off the game strong and taking the lead from the first whistle.
Monique Nagle and Taryn Jennings controlled the play in the attacking end allowing for conversion of Alice Waack and Caitlin Ryan hard work in the defensive end.
At half-time Lakers continue to lead but still remained under threat.
With an injury Renee Wilson came into WD and stepped up to help force Powelltown’s feeding.
The A girls are taking everything in their strides as they adjust every week to new combinations so a well deserved 10 goal win was earned.
