CRT Sept 728x90

Bendigo FNLMatch Reviews | Strathfieldsaye Storm showed plenty of fighting spirit to win the Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL’s senior footy first semi-final against Golden Square on Sunday.

Storm and the Bulldogs were in a clash to keep their premiership dream alive on Queen Elizabeth Oval.

After Storm surged to a 25-9 lead by quarter-time it was the Bulldogs who capitalised on the breeze in the second to score 4.3 as Strathfieldsaye added just two behinds.

Storm looked to be in all sorts after injuries put Charlie King and Darcy Mulquiny out of the game in the second quarter.

Despite injuring his hamstring, Shannon Geary switched from defence to play deep in the forward 50m arc to ensure Storm had some rotations off the bench in the second quarter.

Talented youngster Jaidi Jackson-Leahy also played on through injury.

Their efforts inspired team-mates as the Luke Freeman-coached Strathfieldsaye won the third quarter, 42-12.

Playing into the breeze and limited by just 18 fully-fit players raised concerns for some in the Storm camp.
