South Morang: 12.18-90
Goal Kickers: J. Whitcher 3, J. Braunton 2, J. Gilliland 2, D. Pratt, N. Duffell, T. Gilmore
Best Players: D. Strickland, W. Box, B. Strongman, N. Duffell, K. Gilmore, S. Northrop
South Morang’s poor kicking in the first quarter kept the Redbacks in the game early, but the Lions were always comfortably in front in a match that lacked consistent intensity from the home side in the last match at the Hill for 2009.
Stricko did his best and fairest chances no harm in a best afield performance alongside the silky Will Box, working in an engine room that battled hard all day. Unfortunately consistent help from the attack and defense was not as solid as the coaching staff would have hoped at the start of the day.
Stricko and Boxy were helped out by the ever reliable and fearless Strongy and Nama, while Kane Gilmore put in another encouraging performance that should see him cement his place in the side before finals.
Stevie Northrop was typically hard in a rebound position that was under the pump all game, however his efforts were not enough to thwart a persistent South Morang attack.
The Redbacks must win on Saturday to be comfortable about making the Division 3 finals, as a loss would mean they would be relying on Heidelberg West defeating Reservoir, which is not a position the Club wants to find itself in.
Make sure you get yourself to Pitcher Park for the Parkside match on Sunday and cheer the boys on in what is a mini-final for the Panton Hill Football Club.

Undermanned against the Lions, the reserve side struggled to stay in touch with the visitors, and the result speaks for itself. Regardless of this, some of the twos players relished the challenge, and Will Wenborn reaped the rewards of a solid couple of months on the training track where he has significantly improved his fitness and claimed a best on ground performance.
Club favourite Matty Cameron continued his run of good form in the ruck, in a dominant showing that could see him elevated to the senior team for Saturday’s match against Parkside, while Kiwi showed no signs of being hampered by the über-serious finger injury that has kept him out of the side in recent weeks.
Hirdy played a great game in his second match for the season, while Solly kicked two goals and Evan Rumney also kicked a ripper and did some great things around the ground to get a mention in the best.
This week is a do-or-die match for the reserves. Win and they may make the finals if Reservoir loses to Heidelberg West. Whatever the case in the other game, the twos will be putting everything on the line in a desperate last gasp attempt to claim 4th spot on the ladder.
