The senior team came out with authority in the first quarter and stamped their strong presence on the game early with a fast-moving style of football kicking multiple goals early in the game.
Jackson Meade was brilliant forward and the ruck combination of Owen Conway and Cathel Devereux were influencing the game out of the middle creating the fast ball movement for the mids and many more forward opportunities.
The back line of Dylan McNamara, Harrison Meade and Max Hemphil were impossible to penetrate when the ball managed to get into their defensive line.
The midfield of Charley McKenna, Oscar Elliot and Kade Rowe controlled the ball and the middle of the ground, leaving Barooga no option other than to watch the Mulwala onslaught.

The younger brigade of Jye Brennan, Jack McDermid, Jaxon Wheeler and Kyle Abikhair controlled the midfield throughout the game moving forward ensuring the full back line filled with pensioners didn't have to trouble the stats sheet too often.
