K Rock Football | After the battle between the only two remaining unbeaten teams lived up to the hype, the coach who came out on top was quick to admit that his side had some areas to work on.

Trailing by 26 points at three-quarter time, St Joseph’s stormed home to snatch a five-point victory over arch-rivals St Mary’s at Anthony Costa Oval, 16.15 (111) to 16.10 (106) to extend their home-and-away winning streak to 25 matches.

“I think there’s times that, you know, in games like this, that you look at some of the things that you didn’t do so well rather than the things you did well,” Joeys mentor Ron Watt told K rock Football in the moments after the siren.

So, probably on reflection, we’ll sit back and have a look at the things we did well to get us into the game, and that was the pressure and the way we used the ball and the positions we pushed them into.

“But there’s a few things that we’ll take out of it that we’ve got a bit to learn.”

St Mary’s, who trailed for the majority of the contest, appeared in the box seat to claim top spot at the final change following late third-quarter goals from Sam Bourke and Chris Jansen that improved the hosts’ lead from 14 to 26 points.
