BOX HILL made amends for recent losses when it recorded its third win of the
year in trying conditions at Preston yesterday, defeating the Northern Bullants
by 36 points, 13.14 (92) to 7.14 (56)
Kicking with the aid of a strong end-to-end wind, Box Hill was quick out of
the blocks and took a 37-point lead at the quarter-time break. The Bullants
found it exceptionally hard kicking against the wind, but made good use of the
gale in the second quarter.
Thanks to some brilliant ruck work from Sam Jacobs, the Bullants managed to
keep the ball in their forward 50 for the majority of the quarter, but were
wasteful with their shots on goal. Steven Browne and Darren Pfeiffer were
excellent around the stoppages while Jarrod Bannister and David Teague were also
useful contributors. The Hawks managed one goal and two behinds against the
wind, almost mirroring their opponent's first-quarter effort, but still held an
eight-point lead at half-time.
