CRYSTAL BROOK & ORROROO HAVE DRAW, BROUGHTON MUNDOORA STAY 4TH…….Tuesday August 21, 2007

In what could be a preview of this years Northern Areas Grand Final, the two top sides side of the competition battled out a draw at Crystal Brook.

BROUGHTON MUNDOORA UPSETS CRYSTAL BROOK.......Wednesday August 15, 2007

In one of the upsets of the season, Broughton Mundoora defeated League leader Crystal Brook by 47 points at Mundoora. The Eagles were helped to an extent by Crystal Brook’s poor kicking, leading at half time by 36 points – 8.2 to 1.8, but won the second half with some inaccuracy themselves kicking 5.8 to 3.9. Avan Ireland and Matthew Gale were best in the teams sixth win of the season with Shannon Wilson kicking four goals. Matthew Jackman and Andrew Wright were best for Crystal Brook, Jamie Kemp restricted to just one goal – he now has 89 for the season.

Orroroo took advantage of the loss by Crystal Brook, to grab spot after their win over BMW at Booloeroo Centre. Orroroo powered away in the opening term kicking 6.1 to 0.2 and were far too good for their opponents, with Jonathon Byerlee and Will Bennett best. BMW’s best were Zac Murphy and Sam Keller.

Southern Flinders recorded their ninth win of the season with a 19 point victory over Jamestown/Peterborough at Gladstone. Brett and Nathan Cunningham were their best, with Scott Brand and John McKenna kicking three goals each. For Jamestown/Peterborough, who have been fairly competitive in the past month, Bernard and Nick McInerney were their best.

This week is the final round in the NAFA, Crystal Brook hosts Orroroo, in the minor premiership decider. BMW has to beat South Flinders at Booleroo Centre to keep its faint finals chances alive – hoping that Jamestown/Peterborough can knock off Broughton/Mundoora at Port Broughton.

The battle continues for the minor premiership in Northern Areas, with both Crystal Brook and Orroroo both on 11 wins. Crystal Brook had a very comfortable home win over the BMW by 87 points. Jamie Kemp kicked nine goals – 88 for the season and continues to be on track for the magical ton.

Meanwhile Orroroo had to work overtime to secure the points at home against bottom side Jamestown/Peterborough. The visitors jumped the gun in the first term, gaining a near match winning lead of 33 points at the first change. They had every right to sense victory at the last change with a 19 point lead, but Orroroo did what they had to in the last term, adding 4.5 to 1.0 to secure a narrow six point win. Will Bennett (three goals) and Josh Clark were best for the victors, while for the valiant Jamestown/Peterborough, Ryan Simpson and John Arnold played well.

Despite trailing at half time, Southern Flinders proved too good for Broughton Mundoora winning by 33 points at Wirrabara. 8.7 to 4.5 in the decisive third term proved the difference, ensuring Southern Flinders their eight win of the season – their best were Matthew Woolford and Nathan Cunningham, while for the Eagles, Nick Hewett and Ben O’Donohue were best, with Kane Allen kicking three goals to move to 70 for the season.

With two rounds to play, the top three is set, with Crystal Brook and Orroroo set to play in the Major Semi, while the Elimination Final will be Southern Flinders versus either Broughton Mundoora or the improved BMW, who are both on five wins. One fancies the Eagles will keep fourth spot, as they have Crystal Brook and bottom placed Jamestown to play while BMW faces Orroroo and Southern Flinders. Broughton Mundoora also have a superior percentage while will be an advantage.

Ladder: Crystal Brook 22pts (56.06%), Orroroo 22(54.77%), Southern Flinders 16, Broughton/Mundoora 10 (51.25%) BMW 10 (42.41%), Jamestown/Peterborough 4.

In another interesting round of the NAFA, the were wins for Crystal Brook, Orroroo and Southern Flinders, just about settling the top three, the order though is far from finalised.

Orroroo held a 21 point lead at half time, before BMW came back in the third term adding 6.3 to 3.1, the margin at the last change just a point in a favour of the home team.

Crystal Brook returned to form and stay in second spot after a 19 point win at home against Broughton/Mundoora. The Eagles skipped away to a four goal lead at half time, but the Brookies exploded in the third term, adding eight goals to three to regain the lead. With 3.7 to 2.3 the homeside did enough to get the win, with Jason Cousins and Matthew Jackman in the best, along with Jamie Kemp who kicked six goals, he now has 56 for the season. For the Eagles, Ben O’Donohue was best with Matthew Gale kicking six goals.

At Peterborough, Southern Flinders were too good, winning by 52 points. Craig Ottoway and Ryan Simpson were best for the homeside, while for Southern Flinders, Scott Brand played well and did forward John McKenna who kicked eight goals.
