Confidence continues to drive Fish Creek

By Rob Popplestone

CONFIDENCE is a key to performance, and although not as tangible as some of the must haves within a good side, for players and a club to believe they are capable can sometimes provide momentum that is very hard to stop.

Toora had reluctantly waited to round 13 before scoring their first win of the season, but with that performance under their belt and at home to an undermanned Fish Creek, the Magpies were given a very real chance to make it two in a row, but this week although fighting to the end, they fell short.

John Danckert, Fish Creek coach said, “We always have a battle facing Toora on their home ground. “We felt like we held them off for most of the day, they challenged us in the last quarter, and we responded.

“We have enormous motivation heading into this week against MDU.”

Matthew Ponton Toora coach noted, “It was a hard fought game all day both teams played with aggression which excited the fans.

“Our running and attack on the ball got the Toora fans excited as well, Jack Weston broke the lines four to five times and really turned the game in our favour.

“We brought it right to Fish Creek and had our chances, but unfortunately a few late goals sealed our fate.”

Four weeks of home and away football remain, and another win for the Magpies is not out of the question.
