July 2 2011
The game of the day saw the Div 2 boys taking on Sydney Uni, in what was club legend Tony Mance’s 300th game.
With some words of inspiration from Goannas legends Mark ‘Tubby’ Taylor and Neil Brunton before the game, the boys were keen to make a mark on the comp coming into the second half of the year. The pre game words had the desired effect as the Goannas took control of the latter part of the first quarter, registering a 19 point lead at quarter time, and extending this to 30 points at half time. The third quarter saw the Goannas play their best footy of the year, dominating all around the ground kicking 7.1 to 0.1 to kill the contest.
The last quarter saw both teams go though the motions, and when the final siren sounded, a 69 point win was recorded, a great way to mark Mancey’s milestone, and he was duly chaired off the ground to a standing ovation.
