OLD CAREY AND PARKDALE VULTURES THROUGH

By VAFA · August 31, 2014
OLD CAREY AND PARKDALE VULTURES THROUGH

Old Carey and Parkdale Vultures won cut throat 1st semi finals to extend their season by another week as we bid farewell to Old Melburnians and Monash Blues for season 2014.
Kicking with the breeze in the opening term Old Carey held the early sway but Old Melburnians were seemingly on top when they took a 7 point lead into half time. Another six goal third quarter from Old Carey, many of their better players all getting their hands on the ball, gave them a 23 point lead to defend in the final quarter. Melburnians kicked the first of the last through Al Armstrong, but Carey responded straight away. A couple more Carey goals before a raft of behinds and a consolation goal for OM’s saw the Panthers move into the Preliminary Final against St Kevin’s with a 23 point win.
Old Carey                               6.4,  7.6,  13.9,  16.9  (105)
Old Melburnians                         3.3,  8.7,  9.10,  11.16  (82)
GOALS, Old Carey : T. Roach 3, B. Smithwick 2, N. Richardson 2, C. Howat 2, J. Reid 2, C. Jones 1, L. Macleod 1, H. Moore 1, S. Freemantle 1, R. Bongetti 1
Old Melburnians : T. Hywood 3, A. Armstrong 2, T. Bachet 2, T. Marshall 1, J. Beaumont 1, L. Bennett 1, C. Beck 1
BEST, Old Carey : L. McQueen-Miscamble, J. Rice, R. Bongetti, C. Crowther, S. Freemantle, J. Murrie
Old Melburnians : W. Thompson, T. Paule, E. De Fegely, C. Cumbrae-Stewart, T. Hywood, A. Karatzas

In Premier C, Monash Blues piled on eight of the first nine goals in their match with Parkdale Vultures  at Trevor Barker Oval, but the Vultures fought back to win by 12 points. Parkdale worked their way back into the game to trail by just five points at the main break and despite a goalless third quarter finished full of running. The Vultures kicked six goals to two in the final quarter to book a preliminary final spot against Marcellin next weekend.

Parkdale Vultures                       1.0,  7.4,  7.5,  13.8  (86)
Monash Blues                            6.2,  8.3,  9.7,  11.8  (74)
GOALS, Parkdale Vultures : N. Papatsanis 3, N. Ng 2, C. Dillon 2, L. Platt 2, M. Graham 1, D. Glascott 1, M. Ryan 1, P. Sullivan 1
Monash Blues : J. Cosgriff 3, G. Taylor 2, N. Petering 1, B. Amberg 1, D. Hatch 1, G. Smyth 1, T. McKenzie 1, A. Carr 1
BEST, Parkdale Vultures : L. Platt, C. Dillon, K. Lopo, N. Papatsanis, S. Chapman, P. Sullivan
Monash Blues : D. Hatch, B. Amberg, A. Hickey, N. Petering, G. Smyth, E. Flanagan
