After a disappointing loss to Ballajura last week, we trained hard to beat Mount Lawley this week.
The first quarter started pretty even with the Cardies kicking the first goal and Mount Lawley afterwards, but that didn’t last long because we switched on with help from Aden and Chris.
The second quarter was a lot better than the start with the Cardies shepherding and laying good tackles and showing the cocky Mount Lawley team what the Cardies are made of.
The start of the second quarter was like the start of the first quarter, no one was pushing themselves to their full limit, but once Mount Lawley kicked an easy goal everybody on the Cardies knew they had to do something quickly before it was too late and they caught up. The second half of that term we played pretty good - we did all the one percenters. We manned up and applied pressure every time they got the ball. We kicked a number of goals, and the game was already slipping away from them.
The third quarter was a massive improvement. We didn’t let them score a goal and first gamer Jordie had a blinder stopping the ball from coming down to our end. We managed to kick a lot of goals in that quarter and in the final term we knew we were going to go out and play for percentage.
In the final term, we knew we had it won and now it was party time, and try and see who could kick the best goal. But that didn’t happen, we didn’t even kick a point, but that didn’t matter cause all they kicked was a goal. The final siren went, and the Cardies have had another win. We sang our song with pride and we were very proud to, because we knew this win was a big one after last weeks disappointment.
Next week we are playing Noranda Hawks at our home. We really want to win this one as well.
