Year 8 Football 

The year boys recently participated in the Barwon and Bellarine Division football. They were defending champs from year 7, so expectations were high coming into the day. They started strong with dominant albeit, inaccurate display against Northern Bay kicking 8 goals 12 to no score. Jackson Kelley kicking 3 goals 6 behinds in the game from the midfield. 

They then had a good win against Surf Coast placing them into the Semi Finals against North Geelong. Another dominant display from the midfield including Oscar Agg, Isaac McFadden, Madden Sadowy Jackson Kelley and Ryder Scott saw them head to the final against Western Heights who they were victorious over in year 7. 

In an extremely tough and hard fought final, Belmont’s pressure kept them in the game and the score was equal at half time. Again, the midfield was a key with Madden Sadowy playing out of his skin and Jairus Morgan who doesn’t play football, given a defensive job on Western Heights best forward and Jairus comprehensively beating him. The game continued to be tight and Iggy Partos – Slattery looking dangerous on the half forward line and Arche Van Steeg and Orlando Oliver solid off half back, creating run. The two best sides on the day played a terrific final and Belmont was gallant going down by 2 goals in the end. 

This group of boys are a pleasure to coach and conduct themselves so professionally and admirably on the day. I look forward to working with them again next year as they look to make the year 9 and 10 side. Well done again!
