Too many close losses for Stony Creek

1 min read

AS GOOD as Stony Creek had been over the past month, the reality is that the Lions have suffered too many close losses that appeared on the surface at least.
The difference between what could have been and what is.

Three games shy of where they wanted to be, only a win against an inform Foster could breathe life into the home team’s season, but that desire was but a dream. 

 “The scoreboard didn’t reflect the evenness of the game in my eyes, it was quite physical and contested we felt, which is what we were searching for after an easier month. Our team defence is slowly working better each week,” said Sam Davies, Foster coach.

Stony Creek was a little off where they have been in recent weeks, and being a little off against good sides can quickly get out of control

“A disappointing game for us. We had our premiership reunions, so had a lot of club legends watching on. Foster jumped out of the gates early,” said Chris Verboon, Stony Creek coach.

“They were able to hold space around stoppages which allowed them to get easy forward entries. “We went away from how we have been playing the last four weeks and still have a lot to work on. “Next week we take on Tarwin who are another in form team. Tarwin versus Stony is always a hard-fought contest.”

The Lions appear to have lost touch with the top half of the ladder, but there is absolutely no doubt they will win games that will shape how the final six looks, it’s just who and when.
