Wet day for Demons
IT was a tough day at the office for Timboon’s senior footballers last weekend.
The Demons battled wet and slippery conditions in their match against the second-placed Merrivale on Saturday.
With the Tigers applying strong defensive pressure all over the ground, the Demons struggled to make inroads on the scoreboard, kicking just one behind for the day while Merrivale scored 12.23.95.
Mitchell Gristede, Lyndon Alsop, Oliver Stansfield, Eddie Gaut, Darcy Bridgewater and Jack Matthews were named among the best.
The reserves also had a struggle on their hands but to their credit managed to kick 4.4.28 while the visitors went on to score 11.12.78.
Beavan Castles led the scoring with three goals while Cory Collins added one.
Lewis Cunnington, Zeth Kerr, Bailey Delaney, Drew Kordupel, Jeremy Doolan and Beavan Castles were named in the best.
The Demons’ netballers also found the wet conditions difficult, however the juniors celebrated wins in both the 15 and under and 13 and under games.
