Taroona get 3 more points, Julia calls election

In a curious interplay of politics and the personal, just after half time at Gormley (is there a worse name) Park, Julia announced that we will go to the polls on August 21 - a great relief to many attending a function on August 28, with an essay due on August 27 etc.

Similarly there was great relief that Joey the Imposing plays for Taroona. Another blinder. Time after time Joey was in the right spot - judging his runs and his leaps to perfection when the wall that is the Etheringtons, James Cherry, Joe Haddin and others was punctured. Solid defence was called for and solid defence was delivered.

At half time Supercoach Geoff Atkinson ignored the politcal uncertainty and held his nerve - urging his team on.

Taroona went to half time 1 up after a cross to Joe Atkinson, from Ben Wisbey was intercepted by the Kingborough goalie who in an English team like second, dropped the ball and retrieved it from inside the net. A classic lob from Ben - playing the team game - became the winner if Taroona could hang on.

The second half saw the Lions practice their passing and their shooting. Joey was having none of it though.

Supercoach Geoff has moved this team forward - from Division 3 under 14s to Division 1 under 16s, Super PM Julia is now moving her team forward.
