Round 14 defeated by Panthers 34-4
Monday, August 27, 2007 10:25:16 PM
The Century 21 Storm were beaten comfortably by Panthers 34-4 in a game where Storm always seemed on the back foot and simple errors meant they were playing catch-up football from the start.
Panthers contolled possession in the first half and raced away to an 18-0 lead by halftime despite a valiant effort in defence by Mitchell Case.
The second half started well for Storm when Darcy Allan unleashed a strong run to score in the corner. Unfortunately for Storm the errors continued in the second half and the weight of possession saw Panthers run out winners by 34-4 and advance to the semis next week.
To miss the finals by one win was heart-breaking for Storm and although dissapointed the boys should be proud of a season in which they won the St Pats carnival and worried the top sides including a 12-16 loss to St Pat's(one loss all year) and a 16-16 draw against Panthers after being 0-16 down at half time in their first meeting.
Congratulations to Jack Kersten, Nathan McAndrew, Luke Peachman, Luke Davern, Mitchell Case, Cody Godden, Beau Wade, Chad Osland, Joel Cama, Darcy Allan, Jacob Bradley, Jack Smith, Ricky Gracey and Cody Allcroft and good luck for next year.
Thankyou to sponsors Century 21 and Lithgow Workmen's Club for continued support and on behalf of the parents and players thankyou to coach Al Godden.
