Unfortunately, the team had to leave the four points behind as holidays and kids with other commitments on the day.
There were missing 12 from the side, so the team struggled to get a side on the park.
So it was awesome to see some of the young fourths kids put their hands up to help out on the day.
Some of the older players in the side had a real crack and played some bloody good footy, but the team were beaten by a far bigger, better side on the day.
Better players on the day were Sam Conallin, Charlie Hetherington, Ash Hines, Seth Fuess, Hudson Kelly and Charlie Tremble, who stepped up and played his first thirds game and received the good sports award.
Final score: Blighty 2.2 (14) def by Katunga 21.12 (138).
Fourths
Blighty travelled to Katunga and managed to get the win to make it three in a row!
With a lot away, more fifths came up to lend a hand.
All the little Redeyes played their part and played a very good game of footy.
The team had the lead at every quarter and held on for a big win.
The aim is to keep the momentum running and give Rennie a run for their money next week.
Awards were as follows.
Best on went to Jordyn Brain, who ran all game.
Maddison Hunter, who is always giving it her all week in week out.
Benjamin Baker, who trained well all week and then, put in three solid quarters up front.
Kayden Leech, who played his part with plenty of running and, was rewarded with a few goals.
Franklin Norman for a little fifths player he isn't scared one bit, taking on three big fellas was a sight to see.
Deakin Kelly, who had a very slow day down full back but, played his part in protecting that goal line before going forward in the last quarter
Captains’ award went to Lucas Hovenden, for a little fella he gives it his all the whole time.
Final score: Blighty 15.17 (107) def Katunga 0.2 (2).
Fifths
The junior Redeyes were back into action after having a well-earned weekend off, and were on the road taking on Katunga.
With a few unavailable due to illness and school holidays, the team put together a side that was up for the challenge.
The first quarter was an arm wrestle with both teams working hard applying pressure with the backline standing up stopping numerous goal attempts.
In the second quarter the team worked hard moving the ball forward all together with the oval larger than the fifths usually play on.
The team took some adjusting on how to move it from one end to another.
In the last quarter the fifths threw everything at Katunga moving from contest to contest, sticking the tackles and kicking into open spaces.
It was a great effort by all the kids, and you can see the improvement from them.
Final score: Not scored.
Awards: V. Githinji, L. Hovenden, J. Doherty, H. Ward, V. Ngugi and E. Hoskin.
