Fish Creek primed for finals assault

STONY Creek may not have been in the position to make a run at finals, but they had already signalled they were capable of throwing opposition side’s plans to do so into disarray.

The Lions travelled to the home of Fish Creek with every intention of taking the game right up to one of the league leaders, but it proved to be a bridge too far.

 “A solid performance from us, a bit of an arm wrestle for the first half but then was able to start playing the game on our terms in the second half. All the boys really starting to click together which is great to see,” said Jarred Walker, Fish Creek coach.

The Kangaroos have received little fanfare despite their impressive season that has them well placed for a final assault.

“Fish creek came out strong in the first quarter but missed early opportunities. They set up well behind the footy which made it hard to get forward entries. Our second quarter was our best for the game but couldn’t sustain it. With injuries during the game and blokes injured from previous weeks it was always going to be tough to stay with them,” said Chris Verboon, Stony Creek coach.

The Lions you feel are on the brink of bigger and better things, but we may have to wait until season 2024 to see them.
