Round 1 Cockies v Wombats
A late change in location to Goulburn didn’t dampen enthusiasm as we got our season underway with a nice win 🙌
The first three quarters were a mixed bag, however, the lads rallied together in the final term, lifting the intensity and turning a 1-point deficit into a convincing 25 point win — a brilliant display of resilience and teamwork.
Special credit and thanks to the Macarthur Wombats – Footy for Fun for a competitive and hard-fought game played in true Masters spirit, with plenty of fun in-between the intensity. Thanks also to goulburn_swans for running the scoreboard and canteen for us.
Training resumes at Reid Oval Wednesday 6pm see you there 🤘
Team’s in for Round 1!
