Wet win for Spartans
Wet weather football became the rule of the day as the rain fell down relentlessly for the entire match - The Hawthorn boys soon acclimatised to the conditions and bagged 8 goals by quarter time
Wet weather football became the rule of the day as the rain fell down relentlessly for the entire match - The Hawthorn boys soon acclimatised to the conditions and bagged 8 goals by quarter time.
They held an 81 point lead at half time, but with conditions becoming increasingly difficult to score freely, the game turned into a slogging contest in the third quarter with only one goal scored by each side. After a blast from the coach, Hawthorn went into the last quarter with a positive mind-set and comprehensively beat the wet conditions and their opponents to run out comfortable winners by 112 points.
Final Scores Hawthorn Spartans 18.14.122 def. UHS 1.4.10
Goal kickers T. Demetriou (4), G. Dellaportas (3), A. Mitropoulos (3), J. Bartzis (2), C. Seely (2), J. Farah (1), D. Buff (1), G. Georgiou (1), A. Demetriou (1).
