Allies back in business
COMING back from a disappointing loss, the Allies trounced Tarwin on Saturday.
Narrowly losing against Stony Creek, the team was keen to make amends.
Tarwin started in slick fashion and goals to Dermot Yawney (2) and Andy Murray gave the side a handy start.
Stung into action, the Allies responded and Kael Bergles (2) and Haydn Egerton fired up the side.
The Allies had numerous shots on goal and at the first change had 3.6 on the board.
From this point, the Allies would completely overrun the Sharks to the tune of 17 goals to four.
In the centre, Darcy Atkins and Ben Mayers got the ball rolling and in turn Egerton, Max Homer and Tait Sabec cut the Tarwin defence to shreds and the delivery of the ball to Bergles was copy book as the full forward finished the game with 11-2 just eight short of the magical 100.
During the week a couple of issues were sorted out and the players are determined to stick together for a chance of the winning the flag.
By half time, Bergles had six goals but importantly the running game from full back to full forward was in full flight.
Across half back Cam McKenzie, Jayden Nolan and Josh Mentiplay was solid in defence with strong tackling then running the ball out of danger.
Tarwin scored two goals in the third term through Toussaint and Murray but were still six goals in arrears.
In the next few minutes the Allies answered and Egerton left alone out wide was able to run and carry then deliver to Jim Phillips and finally onto Bergles.
Two defenders were assigned to hassle and hang onto Bergles so the swap around allowed Phillips, Homer and Jackson Nolan to finish of the scoring.
The last term saw the Allies at its very best and it set up many scoring chances.
Bergles, five goals, plus singles to Egerton, Sketcher and Phillips meant the Allies recorded a big win.
Tarwin battled hard through McRae and Travis Cameron but there wasn’t much support from others.
Frustration by Tarwin also gave away frees and bad language was quickly stepped on by the umpires
Great job by umpires who allowed the game to flow and any pileups were dispersed within a few seconds.
Battle: Allies’ Tait Sabec and Tarwin’s Troy Toussaint went head to head for the ball on Saturday.
