Port Malmö 21.17 (143) defeated Jutland 1.6 (12)
Port Malmö vs Jutland at home. With the sun high in the sky and the wind easing in to a cool breeze as the afternoon heated up, the whistle was blown and the first ball was tossed. We came out hard and fast but the center couldn’t quite take control and as a result Jutland managed to put some points on the board. Although their celebrations were soon to cease and all hope crushed as the second quarter began.
A bit of quick thinking from Aaron and the center-line lads caused frustration amongst the Jutland ranks as we each took a man leaving big Jens from Jutland no one to tap the ball to. Having done that and taken authority in the center, our boys released the hounds and it began to rain, goals that is!
The lads showed us all that we can take home a big win despite leaving a few aussies out of the game. This club is sure to be a dominant force in the league if we keep hauling in the new recruits like this. Well done to everyone!
A few special mentions are in order. First up to Denis for his best on ground effort and exceptional defensive play. Secondly to all the boys that umpired for getting these aussie-points that should come in handy. And thirdly to Mad Matt for yet again proving to us that he’s a real team player and keeping a close eye on any loose balls on our goal line.
Being a relatively young footy club with very few traditions I hereby announce the beginning of the Captains Award, an award given weekly to a player whom I feel showed a moment of individual brilliance and courage. This week the Captains award goes to Dani Joncock for that sweet shephard he made in the center-ground which resulted in yet another goal, we all remember it and it was a beauty!
