Youth steps up for City Devils

Wangaratta City's senior men's team continued their run of good form taking the points against St Pat's on Sunday. The 1-0 win was all the more rewarding with the absence of senior regulars Justin Cirillo, Lorenzo Cecchini and James Wells, which opened the door for a crew of first gamers to compete at the top level. Although the results have not always gone St Pat's way this year, Devils coach Vitaly Leschen said the home side showed plenty of effort on the day. "St Pat's have shown plenty of improvement this year so it was good to get away with the win," he said. The difference came about 20 minutes into the first half when Campbell McDiarmid showed his class to finish off from outside the box. Leschen said it was a rewarding weekend all round. "We had six 16-year-olds in the side including Keenan Peruzzo and Zak Bouchier in their first senior games as well as Abraham Verbeek in his first senior game coming off the bench," he said. "It was great how they helped us grind out the win at this stage of the season irrespective of the score." The team came through unscathed and welcome the bye this weekend for the senior men which should allow a few players extra time to freshen up or recover from injuries and niggles in time for the challenge against Corbram Roar. The win has the senior men in seventh position on the ladder. In other grades the div two men continued their hot run with a 7-0 win over St Pat's, the div three men lost 1-0 and the div two Women also won 2-1 win. Div one women had the bye.
