Albury Tigers 11.9.75 defeated Yarrawonga 3.2.20.
Sunday saw the Under 12 boys travel to Albury to take on the Tigers.
The boys looked a bit scratchy early after having week off but Sonny Sneddon and Jack Van Den Bosch worked over time in defense to help keep the Pigeons in the contest at half time.
The boys came out firing in the second half with Cody Costello putting through a major early in the 3rd, forwards and on ballers worked hard to give Yarrawonga a chance, but with only 1 on the bench the boys started to run out of legs.
The Pigeons boys fought hard right to the end but the Tigers were just too good.
Keep working hard boys and have another crack next week.
Goals: H Donavan, C Costello, D Skehan.
Best: Sonny Sneddon, Jack Van Den Bosch, Axel Saunders, Billy Stevens, Noah Runnalls.

Under 16s
Albury 5.9.39 defeated Yarrawonga 2.14.26.
Yarrawonga Under 16’s travelled to the very impressive Albury Sports Ground on a beautiful sunny winters day to take on the top side Albury.
In a tough contest the boys fought hard and matched the Albury side and proved that they had what it takes to be final contenders.
The only thing that let them down was missed opportunities with inaccurate kicking in front of goals.
The Pigeons back 6 again were tremendous with Darby Mullins, Geoffrey Montgomery, Lach Phillips and Loch Dwyer playing solid defensive games and making it difficult for the Albury forwards all day.
The midfield led by Hunter Frauenfelder, Cooper Lonergan, Liam Williams and Mac Pendergast also rallied hard all day and played a good 4 quarter effort.
The forward line in Xavier Walker and Memphis Bramich supported by the rotating forwards worked hard all day but were let down by inaccurate kicking at goals.
Something to work on this week at training.
All in all a promising outcome against a quality side.
Goals: Xavier Walker and Cooper Lonergan.
Best: Hunter Frauenfelder, Lach Dwyer, Geoffrey Montgomery, Cooper Lonergan, Mac Pendergast and Darby Mullins.
