Burras no match for Thunder
Minyip Murtoa still has bragging rights when it comes to the ladder in the Wimmera Football Netball League football for seniors, but it was the Thunder who got the win when the sides played each other on Saturday.
The Burras played catch up from the get go, down 1.2 (8) to 4.2 (26) at the end of the first quarter, by 24 points at half time and 22 points heading into the final term.
The main goal scorers for the Burras was Oscar Knight with three, while Kai Sheers booted four for the Thunder.
Best players were Luke Fisher and Timothy Mackenzie for the losing side, while Billy Lloyd and Bradley Stokes played a big part in their side getting the win.
Coach of the Thunder, Kieran Delahunty, said his side displayed intense pressure and kicked off the match really well.
"I thought it was an even four-quarter performance from everyone in the side," he said.
"Minyip Murtoa threw a number of challenges at us, but the pleasing thing was that we were able to swing that momentum every time it was thrown at us.
"I couldn't single out any particular group, because it was an even performance."
