Inverloch-Kongwak rue misses in elimination<\/h1>\n

ON PAUSE: Adam Cross assesses his options for the Sea Eagles. His legendary senior games record will stagnate for the time being as his Inverloch-Kongwak side was eliminated from the finals. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

IT was a game of missed opportunities for Inverloch-Kongwak on Sunday, paying the price for squandered shots on goal in their elimination final against Koo Wee Rup.<\/p>\n

The Sea Eagles kicked 3.11 in the first half to the Demons\u2019 5.3, eventually losing momentum and going down 76-47, bowing out of this year\u2019s finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe kicked a bunch of points in the first and second terms and probably should have had about eight or nine goals instead of three,\u201d coach Tom McQualter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn finals that can often cost you because you keep strong teams in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a strong start by the Sea Eagles, with the team dominating the middle and creating eight scoring shots to two in the first term.<\/p>\n

The side went into the first break leading 23-12.<\/p>\n

Koo Wee Rup responded in the second term though, winning more ball in the contest and taking advantgage of their opportunities while I-K continued to miss theirs.<\/p>\n

This resulted in a 33-29 Koo Wee Rup lead at the main break.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were getting beaten in the middle throughout the game,\u201d coach McQualter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWalker and Gibson for them were better than our mids for the most part, which was pretty disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The trend continued in the third term with the Demons controlling the play and I-K not being able to take advantage of their chances, kicking four behinds for the quarter and trailing by 23 at three-quarter time.<\/p>\n

Sheen was dominant for the Demons in the last term and booted the final of his six goals for the game, while the Sea Eagles added two majors.<\/p>\n

It was not enough though, as the Sea Eagles went down by 29 points and crashed out of the finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result reflects where we\u2019re at as a group because we couldn\u2019t stay consistent through four quarters of footy,\u201d coach McQualter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKoo Wee Rup were also too good for us on the day, they were hungrier and outworked us.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Demons now take on Cora Lynn this week, I-K will be left to review what was an inconsistent season.<\/p>\n
