Division two men

The BodyTeQ Health and Movement division two men travelled up the freeway to Albury to take on Wombats on Sunday morning.

In what turned out to be a more challenging game than the Dragons expected, it wasn’t until the fourth quarter that the Dragons were able to get the ball past the Wombats goalie, with the final score 4-0 in the Dragons’ favour.

With a couple of key players missing this week, Mat Vogel and Sam Couche at times had to rotate through the backline, eagerly supported by Atticus Thomson and Xavier Bennett and securely backed up by Michael McMurrie in goals.

The midfield of Shannon Beacom, Henry Findlay, Cam Leathem and Alistair Merritt worked tirelessly covering plenty of distance all game in support of the attackers and the defenders.

Up front, Izaac Cameron, Thomas Wright, Charles Webster and Blake Miles played themselves into great positions throughout the game but were unable to break the deadlock on the scoreboard, not until Mat Vogel was pushed forward, with a dominant run tearing apart the Wombats to slot the first goal of the game.

Webster added one goal of his own and Miles was able to score two goals.

This win secured the Dragons a top four spot on the ladder, with five games remaining heading into finals.

Stella Groetgoed provided support in the midfield, helping to push the ball forwards.

The Wombats were unfortunately able to stop the ball despite many shots, and with the Wombats able to score two goals by the final whistle, the score did not reflect the game.
