Despite the weather being on the west and cooler side, our spirits were high as we took to the field for this crucial match.
The first quarter saw the opposition come out strong, posting 5 goals and 3 behinds, while our boys were still finding their rhythm. By quarter time, the score was 33 to 0 in favor of UNSW.
As the whistle blew to start the second quarter, it was clear our Penno players were ready to dig deep. Jacob Adams, one of our standout players for the day, managed to snag our first goal alongside a behind, leveling the quarter's scoreline. By halftime, the board read 41 to 8, and while we were trailing, we knew there was plenty of footy left to play.
The third quarter proved a challenging segment with UNSW extending their lead. However, our defense worked tirelessly to contain the damage. At the close of the quarter, the score had tipped further to 63 to 9.
The fourth quarter was where we really showed our mettle. With no goals conceded to the opposition and some slick teamwork, Michael Morris and Jake Protogeros each scored a goal, narrowing the gap. The final siren saw us put up a valiant fight with a quarter scoreline of 12 to 5, though the match ended with a score of UNSW 68 to Penno 21.
While it wasn't the result we hoped for, the learning experience was invaluable. Each game is a stepping stone, and resolve remains unshaken. We'll take the lessons from today and come back stronger for our next encounter.
