Round 18 Rutherglen v Yackandandah Saturday 17th August 2019
FOOTBALL
Seniors:
Cats 16-10-106 Def Yack 9-9-63
Round 18 has appeared incredibly quickly this year and we welcomed Yack for the final game, both sides sitting a couple of games outside the five and only pride to play for. With the first round clash being a tight affair we knew this would be the same and that is how it played out. There was only a kick in it for the first three quarters but to our guys credit they turned it on the last quarter to run out seven goal winners, keeping Yack goalless in the last quarter. Credit to our senior group for the way they have finished the year off after a few things haven’t gone our way at different times for a variety of reasons. You have stuck together and provided us with some very entertaining football. Not being in the finals race this year is a bitter pill to swallow but hats off to all those that will be participating. May the best team win.

Reserves:
Cats 7-6-48 Def By Yack 10-7-67
Our Cats Reserves played a really good brand of footy staying within 3 goals of the undefeated Yack team. All the boys played their part and finished the season off with plenty of passion and fight. With so many boys playing through the senior side this season, keeping consistency is always hard work. Well done boys, you have represented the club well all season. To not quite make the finals is a result you should be proud of and a great effort.

Cats 1-1-7 Def By Yack 10-6-66
In a tough final game the Rutherglen U14 team was beaten by Yackandandah. The young cats battled all day but were well beaten by an older bigger Yackandandah outfit. Jack Keys continued his strong form with a best on ground performance and was well support by Indi Kotzur and Lochie Webb. Charlie James and Rory Beatie battle well in defence with Lenny Hill also playing one of his best games for the year.
