Six out of seven teams already secured their Grand Final spot last weekend, so it was over to Broadford for the Senior Footy to take on Powelltown.
It was a nice day, the sun was shining and about 16 degrees. The game started at 2.10pm and was a strong start for the boys.
Strong defence and converting it on the scoreboard. They looked strong and had a quarter time score of 3.3-21 to 1.0-6. The second quarter was much more towards Powelltown’s way with them kicking 7 goals and 6 behinds to the Burras 1 goal 4 behinds.
Half time came around and it was time for a break and reset. Powelltown used their big bodies and finals experience to gain more of a lead in the third quarter, Warby scored 3.1 to Powelltown’s 6.8.
Unfortunately, Powelltown had the momentum and a strong lead heading into the last term with a score of 50-98.
Warby managed to secure a couple of more goals onto the scoreboard to finish but Powelltown was too strong on the day.
Tom Barr and Jack Farrugia secured two goals each, while Tyson Henry, Pat Huynh, Brady Mitchell, Blake Muir, Josh Sharp and Liam Westlake all contributed one each.
Timothy McKail, James Iacono, Harry Rothwell, Tom Barr, Dale Morris and Josh Sharp were all named top performers for the game.
Unfortunately this is the end of the year for the senior boys, but the club still has six games to go on Saturday with 17’s, D, C B and A Grade netball all playing for the 2023 Premiership and Reserves Footy also trying to go back to back.
Good luck to all teams Saturday, which is all being played at Yarra Glen from 9am. Go Burras!
