Warriors celebrate with Lloyd
NOT even the wintry conditions could dampen spirits at Davidson Oval last weekend, as former AFL great Matthew Lloyd spurred on his Old Collegians ‘team-mates for the day’ to take the win.
The popular former Bomber, who contributed a goal to the board, was made to feel right at home among the Warriors as the club celebrated a 12-point victory over Kolora Noorat on Saturday.
In what became a low-scoring affair in, at times, challenging conditions, the Warriors went into the main break with a handy 14-point lead.
The second half proved a tight tussle all over the ground, with both sides unable to make any real impact on the scoreboard with just four goals kicked for the half.
Final scores were Old Collegians 6.8.44 to Kolora Noorat 4.8.32.
Joseph McKinnon led the goal scorers for the Warriors with two for the day while other contributors included Lloyd, Declan Gleeson, Jacob Heatherington and Matt Petherick.
Among the best players were Petherick, Harry Hall, Harry White, Hayden Jenkins, Jacob Brooks and Samuel Walker.
Old Collegians will be hoping to make it two in a row tomorrow (Saturday) when they take on the fifth-placed Dennington.
