Just happened to spot this bizarre scoreline in one of the Northern Football League matches on July 18. I thought it was a mis-print but on further investigation it appears to be legitimate - ie. Thomastown 7.1 to 0.2 in the first quarter - and then scoreless for the rest of the match !
Here are the quarter by quarter scores and the match report from the Northcote Park FC web site (The Cougars):
Thomastown 7.1 7.1 7.1 7.1-43
Northcote Park 0.2 5.8 8.11 14.16-100
Thomastown, kicking with a gale in the first quarter, booted seven unanswered goals. The score at the first break was 7.1 (43) to 0.2 (2).
The Cougars then kicked five unanswered goals with the wind before lifting their performance in the third quarter to hold the home team out.
In fact the Cougars kept Thomastown scoreless for the final three quarters before winning 14.16 (100) to 7.1 (43).
Anyone seen anything similar ?
