AFL 2nd XVIII – Sun Country Cup v Braemar College
Our 2nd XVIII football team travelled to Castlemaine last Wednesday to take on Braemar College in the final round of the AFL Sun Country Cup. The BSSC boys had plenty of the ball in the first quarter but couldn’t capitalise on their opportunities, kicking 1.6 to Braemar’s 4.2. We out-scored the opposition in a very competitive second quarter to go into the half-time break trailing by only nine points. Braemar controlled the game in the third quarter and kicked 5.1 to 2.2 to lead by 26 points at the final change. The BSSC boys never gave up and played a great last quarter to eventually go down 14.10.94 to 9.11.65
Goals: Sam Dean 3, Jasper Stewart 2, Billy Robertson 1, Joel Mullen 1, Tom Nunn 1, Jackson Guan 1
Best players: Braydan Torpey, Daniel Keating, Joel Mullen, Tom Nunn, Jay McLeod and Billy Robertson.
