Balaklava had a run at Moonta on Saturday. I've got to say, for an oval with a turf wicket, it came up a treat. Most ovals with turf wickets would be very hard in the centre at this time of year but Moonta was not too bad at all.
It was a 6-qtr match divided into two 3-qtr halves, with a majority of A graders playing in the first half.
Jonathan Brice (full forward) was excellent, as was Todd McPharlin (forward flank/rover), Lachy Michael (wing), Sam Rowland (on-ball), Glenn Dawson (centre) and Dylan Ruiz (HBF).
Grant Wilmer played most of the six-quarter game and was also a solid contributor.
Reckon the Dees got up by about three goals but it was predominantly an even contest. Lots of improvement, but also a lot of good signs. Tackling was excellent.
Right in front of me. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
