MATCH OF THE SEASON (2004)
Under 14's win Grand Final in 2004!
|
Queanbeyans Under 14 side take to
the field in their 2004 Grand Final against Marist
|
The Sleepdoctor sponsored under 14's
made their way to Manuka Oval on a cool Saturday morning to attempt to
win their third premiership in a row and with the support of a great Queanbeyan
crowd came away with a brilliant hard won victory.
|
The game was a scrappy affair in the first quarter with the ball
becoming wet very quickly and the pressure and nerves showing as
the usually sure ball handling of the young tigers letting them
down.
This in turn put pressure on the backline as Marist worked the
ball into their forward area, but Callum Birtles, Ben Rabjohns,
David Hogan, Daniel Male, David Sturgiss, Andrew Downey and in particular
Matthew Redmond playing brilliantly to repel the ball into our forward
line with great skill and desire.
The midfield and forwards were working hard but their opportunities
where limited and the bigger ground taking a while for them to adjust
to. The second term was a carbon copy of the first with play shifting
between half forward lines and neither team being able to assert
their authority over the other.

Tigers win the ruck contest
|
The third and premiership quarter was when the young tigers started to
control the game with captain Jared Priestly in the ruck, Jeremy Kirkwood,
Jeremy Fitzgerald, Ben McKenna, Daniel Male, Luke Cheetham, Bradley Toone and
Michael Redmond on the ball and in the midfield creating plenty of drive
into the forward line.
Matthew Redmond, David Hogan and David Sturgiss across the half backline
where virtually impassible and the tigers went into the final term just
in front but with their tails up. The forward line of Nathan Reid, Brad
Simpson, Brant Cameron, Robert Kell, Matthew Hilder, Chris Barry, Angus
Ashworth, John Noonan worked overtime to keep the ball in their area until
a major was scored.
Queanbeyans Under 14 team celebrate
their well deserved Grand Final victory
|
The final term saw the tigers playing their brand of team football,
kicking and handballing to each other and playing with great spirit
to record a hard fought 28 point victory.
each player is to be commended and congratulated on their efforts
throughout the season and the winning of the Tom McLeod Shield is
a suitable reward for the work done all year.
Final Score
Tigers 10.9-69 Marist 6.5-41
Matthew Redmond was awarded the Best player on the ground and his
four quarter effort was outstanding.
