ROUND 6
The previous three weeks has seen the Roys lose games by an average of 10 goals. Tie that in with a tendency to go to sleep for long periods of time during a game and that was leading to a trip to the wide open spaces of Waverley Park becoming a horrible venture.
Fortunately a deluge drenched the ground and the muddy conditions promised to give us a better chance of reversing our bad luck.
It was slow going early with both teams only having scored a point 9 minutes in to the game, fitzroybulldog and 3KZ is Football were getting a lot of the ball but the Hawks were clawing ahead until a goal to Ed_Gein put us in front. Two Hawks goals saw our lead disappear and Fred kicked a late goal to keep us within 5 points at the first break.
Fred was shouldering the scoring load as his second goal, to open the second quarter, made his current contribution 13 points of our 20. The Hawks scored a goal to take back the lead, but points to pantskyle and Dicky Fitzwell – before Freds 3rd goal – saw us back in front. Royboy 2 added a goal and a point and only a late goal to the Hawks prevented us from having a bigger lead than the 4 points we took in to the rooms.
We kept adding to the scoreboard in the 3rd as a goal to Freakie, following a Cheetah behind had us 11 points up. The Hawks matched that to peg it back to 4 and after trading goals the Hawks pulled out to a 4 point lead. Fitzroybulldog kicked a goal to put the Roys back in front, but another late goal to the Hawks swung the difference back their way as we trailed by 3 going in to the last.
The heavy conditions were getting to both teams and in the first 15 minutes of the final term the Roys could only manage a behind while only conceding one goal. Trailing by 8 points the Roys had a win within their sights. At the 18 minute mark the Hawks goaled to make it tougher and all but sealed the game 3 minutes later with another. The Roys behind was their only score in the 4th quarter as we fell to our 4th straight loss. ROYS 8.8.56 Hawks 13.4.82
