2022 round 13 @ Sandy
It’s a uncharacteristically sunny and still day. CBomb announces her retirement (end of season) before the game, and perhaps in shock we give up the first 13 points of the game. If you let the Saints kick without pressure, they hit targets very well.
Finally Mia-Rae tackles, gets the free, and tells Radio 3DJR to get stuffed by kicking a difficult one from the boundary line.
Shortly afterwards Ugle fires a bullet pass to a leading Frew. She converts, the score is 14-13, and for the first time in four years we are not going to concede the lead.
Clifford kicks another just before half time. Saints are held scoreless for the quarter.
Nicole Julian pops a calf in the third quarter, from which we exit 27-14 ahead.
The Saints come out hard in the last, ol’ Unco Nalder somehow lets a ball slip past her in the goal square, and we’re under pressure. Sim otherwise had a hugely positive game.
A sling on Dicker head-first into the ground finally releases the pressure, and we win 5.6.36-4.2.26 to trigger the tweet we never knew we needed.
Quality game, despite the low scores.
