Match Reviews | In what was expected to be a fairly one-sided round eleven of matches in the SS&A OMFNL turned into a competitive and high-quality set of matches.
The round featured a return to form by Wangaratta Rovers and three very brave performances in defeat by Wodonga, Myrtleford, and North Albury. Wodonga copped its fifth defeat in a row but may have found something like its early season form that will need to be maintained if it is to hold onto its fifth place.
They started the game in brilliant fashion kicking the first four goals of the game against the inform Wangaratta to look like repeating its round two upset win. The Magpies gradually worked their way back into the game with Morris Medal winner Cal Moore kicking seven goals in a match-winning performance.
Ruckman Chris Knowles dominated against his young opponent Zac Nugent, with Jackson Clarke and Hunter Gottschling outstanding in the midfield.
Albury was made to work extremely hard for its 26-point win against a plucky Myrtleford who had Simon Curtis in great form to be best afield in a losing side.
Curtis kicked four goals and had almost thirty possessions as the Saints kicked five goals in a superb second-term fightback.
