It was a challenging afternoon against a strong and polished Sydney University, with the visitors proving too strong.
The opening quarter was an arm wrestle, with both sides finding it difficult to make the most of their opportunities. We trailed by just two points at the first break and remained well in the contest, but Sydney Uni capitalised on their chances in the second term to open up a 17-point lead by half-time.
To the group's credit, they responded strongly after the main break. The third quarter was our most productive of the day, with the boys attacking the contest with greater intensity and putting four goals on the board. While we were able to create opportunities going forward, Sydney Uni continued to respond each time we challenged, maintaining their advantage heading into the final quarter before finishing strongly in the closing stages.
Although the scoreboard wasn't in our favour, there were encouraging signs throughout the game, particularly in the way the group continued to compete and look for opportunities to play our brand of football. These experiences against quality opposition will continue to build the team's growth as we work towards the finals.
Cameron Este, Ryan Mardling, Mitchell Blow, Michael Carroll, Thomas Edmonds and Xavier Russell were among our best contributors on the day. Mitchell Blow was a standout in front of goal with three majors, while Charlie Allison, Liam Everett, Kalan Murray, Cooper Smith and Josh Stern each added a goal.
A special mention must be made to Kalan Murray, who debuted in the Premier Division Side.
