Tiwi Bombers - bouncing back

St Mary’s kick the next four goals to lead 35-9 before 1.5 quarters have elapsed…

Anthony Munkara gets a goal on the half-time siren to make it a plausible 16-37

Earlier in the day, the Nightcliff women easily moved into the Grand Final. Their victim, Palmerston, will face St Mary’s in the prelim (1 goal to Caitlin Sargent for St Mary’s). PINT was eliminated.

Yes, they are running four games in a row at TIO Stadium.

??? Don’t recall that name at all. Did he change his name to play in the NT? I guess he must have been VFL but he didn’t get much discussion time on Blitz

Tiwi get the first goal early, and narrow the margin to 15.

Blown out to 28-51. St Mary’s Jackson Calder kicked the most recent goal to move his scoring tally to 3.3

Landt kicks his second goal, but William Munkara responds.

And with 14 seconds left in the third quarter, Anthony Munkara goals.

41-58 is the score at the final break; there for the taking…

Kim Kantilla point and then a goal

48-58

Goal to William Munkara, last 25 points to Tiwi.

54-58

St Mary’s respond with 10:46 left.

54-64

Can’t stop Landt (mid) and Calder (FF). They move to 3 and 4 goals respectively, and this game should be sealed by that.

54-77

Anthony Munkara drags it back to 60-77

5:49 left.

They’ve had more improbable last-gasp wins this year, but against much weaker opposition.

Tiwi kept coming but ran out of time: 10.7.67 loses to 11.11.77

Tiwi goes 0/3 in finals this year.

Nothing to say Tiwi-wise, but a nuts NTFLW Grand Final.

5.1 scored in the second quarter, and 0.14 across the other three quarters!

The goals were kicked by just two players: Shakaila Gardiner-Dunn finished the game with a perfect 3.0, while Fleur Davies kicked 2.0 and may have some opinions on her teammates…

(In the men’s GF, Dylan Landt kicked a game-leading two goals but his St Mary’s fell short 51-66 versus Southern Districts.)

Have heard that Willie Rioli has signed with the Bombers.

Lockyer has left the SANFL to head back to Darwin. I believe he is going back to St Mary’s

Women finally get a win in round 5; had gone close to some good teams previously. 87-22 over the Buffaloes.

A different Moreen (Hilda) topped the goals with three.

She sits equal-top for the season with five goals… but it’s a 22-way tie! Others include Tiwis Maria Tipuamantamirri + Jelena Tipungwuti + Tahini Thompson + Taniesha John-Forrest + Alana Coombes + Kathleen Cunningham + Sarah Darcy.

Neat trick having 8 of the top 22 goalkickers, and being one win from five.

Lots of time to reach finals yet!

No visits by Ugle, Barba, or Clifford yet.



EDIT: don’t try to read stats on the phone. They actually have 8 of the 22 payers to play every game… and only four of the teams have played 5 games so far.

FIFO’s can only play (I think) 3 games, hopefully they will be up there soon.
