Unfortunately the boys were young, fit, talented and took just about every chance they were offered.

Another double weekend and a depleted 6XI site turned out to face Grange Development who desperately needed points to make sure they were outside both the relegation battle and any possible East League reshuffle. Judging on how this game went they should not have any problem in either regard, as they have bucket loads of talent and will move up the league as they win their games in hand.

A sloppy start saw us go two down before we woke up. And it only got a little worse before half time. 3-0, lucky to have nil.

The second half was, well, technically a lot worse, but the margin for error was pretty slim and basically we were punished for every mistake we made.

The goals rained in from corners, penalty flicks, open play and pretty much everything else in between, but the good thing was we scored twice! First it was 'Pops' Lornie who turned the ball into the net and then McNally somehow put a slow motion shot past Batchelor, but it all to no avail. The heaviest defeat of the season (and probably for many seasons) ended up 11-2 to the Development.

The good thing is we have a chance to redeem ourselves within 24 hours in the plate semi-final…
