Old Ivanhoe vs Mazenod (Seniors)

A disappointing loss to Mazenod has set back the Seniors amongst a pack of teams on 4 or 5 wins , though they still retain fourth spot and a healthy percentage .

In slippery conditions, OIG always seem to be playing catch-up football, as Mazenod from the first term on managed to score one or two goals extra each quarter to eventually win by 25 points.

Will Gough in his 100^th game continued his great form and gave tremendous drive from the flanks, Seamous Gibbs, Max Jones, Jackson Powell  and Trent Crouch held their own on the ball , Jack Welham kicked 3 goals despite Mazenod`s disciplined defence that otherwise made scoring difficult all day, and Brandon Lee made a return to the seniors after injury and held his own in the ruck and up forward. Missing big men Captain Mal Mitris and fullforward Hamish Shepheard , OIG surely missed having these central corridor players and this counted against them in finding a direct way into the forward line .

Next week we’re away against Hampton Rovers.
