Round 18 - Heidelberg West fall short after giving it all

SENIORS

Heidelberg West threw everything at Panton Hill in the final round of the season in an effort to get a win on the board. Things went their way in the first quarter with nine scoring shots to one. ALthough the Hills worked their way in to the game thanks to the efforts of a striong of second level players, West still held the lead at half time. However, once Panton Hill got on top the Hawks spirit was broken and the final quarter was a blowout. Daniel Pratt was exceptional in the ruck and around the ground to finish what has been his best ever season at the Hills.

Meanwhile, the resrves were given a football lesson by a more experienced Heidelberg West side to end a disappointing season. Coach Jon Manzoney is determined to improve things next season and has asked all players to get behind the side and prepare themselves properly in pre-season.
