Senior Boys AFL

The season opener was a  courageous battle by a talented band of SNC brothers.

On the walk to Queens Park Reserve the stories of the talent in the Lynwood team were all the boys talked about - four State players, a school AFL program, and players who were legends in the local weekend teams. The expectations of success were not high. When we reached the oval, there was a crowd of students, parents and staff who had come down to watch, the mood changed and we knew this was going to be a good game.

What we witnessed was an excellent game between two teams where neither side was giving an inch to the other. The scoring opportunities were rare. The St Norbert defence kept foiling Lynwood’s charges at goal. Nyika John was consistent in putting the pressure on all over the oval and displayed some great strength, winning several contested marks. Patrick Osias played the ball hard getting in and under several packs to bring the ball out to waiting teammates. The courageous effort of Jackson White in contests against packs of the opposition was matched by the several strong marks he took. The never-give-up attitude of the whole team was exemplified in Fletcher Clemmence’s spectacular chase down of the opposition's #25, he ran over 60 metres to stop a goal in the dying minutes of the game. St Norbert’s two goals were scored by Connor Young Free.  Final result SNC 2.3.16 to Lynwood 6.5.41.
