Rye's Mark Chaffey

Today’s game against Rosebud resulted in an almighty flogging for Rosebud … the 3 goals they kicked in the last quarter saw Rye win by only 15 goals, not by 18 goals.

Suffice it to say, the Rye boys were very happy …

… but the same certainly can’t be said for Rosebud’s coach Mark Hustwaite:

Rye’s seniors came from behind at three quarter time to beat Red Hill – final scores Rye 16-13-109 def. Red Hill 11-9-75. This leaves Rye unbeaten and on top of the league ladder, going into next week’s bye. The bye has come at a good time for the increasing number of injured players to recuperate in the run up to the finals.

Captain Rhett Sutton played a blinder today, including two captains goals in the last quarter – both from in excess of 50m from goal – which turned the tide of the game to Rye’s favour.
