Make a mistake and have your name broadcast!

Returning to Kelvedon for the first Div 1 game against Glenorchy Knights yesterday. Without a Vuvuzela soundtrack the Taroona boys were solid in defence from the start - welcoming back Mat Etherington after a week out. Joey put all that practice from last week to great use - but nowhere near as often as at the Wellesley earth station.

Glenorchy had their own special negative comments broadcaster - who helpfully named all those who made a mistake soon after they committed their error - presaging a week of torture coming up. This made all the difference to his team - not only did they make a blue but they felt bad too! Mitchell probably didnt mean to give the ball away!

It soon became clear that the knights were not all that impressed with the Taroona responses to their jousting.

In the Taroona box Coach Geoff Atkinson (who provides a complete contrast to his opposite number) maximised his side's effectiveness by cleverly throwing his charges on at crucial points - his use of Aaron was particularly effective. On the other line sidelined Liam ran the line - back next week I understand.

So another point to the Taroona boys - a solid result.

Next week to Gormley park where the Kingborough boys are plotting their revenge for their penalty shoot out disappointment.
