Free kicks and missed free kicks yet again cost us a shot at the Bays. Although it is true we did drop the bundle in the final quarter the Bays were allowed to get away with scragging the player who did not have the ball. They once got a free when the ball was knocked up twice by one of our players and when he was grabbed he was deemed to be in possession. In the third quarter while we were still ahead and had the wind in the last quarter we were going into the forward lines and a goal was looking very likely. Our player was blatantly legged(uncalled) and the Bays took the ball and scored a goal. That may have been the turning point. And frees finished up close but were well in the favour of the Bays until they were 30 points ahead after 26 minutes into Q4 when we got a raft of soft free kicks.
