Under 15 Results - 2nd Elimination Final

Under 15s – 2nd Elimination Final (21st August 2010)
Phillip Island v Yarram (Foster Showgrounds)

The first final of the day at Foster was the Fourths Elimination final between 3rd placed Phillip Island and 6th placed Yarram. After recent rain, ground conditions were slippery with patches of mud and surface water. The well-drilled Phillip Island side came out fired up and their enthusiasm transcended to the scoreboard as they outplayed the young Demons in the first quarter.                              

The 2nd quarter belonged to the Bulldogs once again as they took control of possession out of the middle through the likes of Eli Richards, Ayden Froud and Tyron Sandbach. The backline was ruthless, disallowing any score by the opposition in a great effort. The game was effectively over by half time as the Bulldogs put on a fantastic display of wet weather football.

The young Bulldogs made fun of the conditions after half time, being clean with their ball use and marking the wet ball well. Livewire Tim Van Cuylenberg typified the skill of the side with a silky pick up for a goal to open the quarter. Justin Cleeland took control in the ruck and Cieran Wood stepped up on the ball.

The last quarter began with Tim Van Cuylenberg taking a solid mark and slotting his 5th goal for the match. A great team effort by the Island was rewarded when Michael Mantiet kicked truly for another goal. Yarram managed to add some respectability to the scoreboard scoring their 1st and 2nd goal in the last quarter, but it was all Phillip Island as they cruised to a comfortable victory. Jarrod Black put the icing on the cake by selling a dummy and running around his opponent to goal and see the Bulldogs run out 86pt winners and proceed to the Semi final at Dalyston on Sunday.
