【GOALS】 RED: C.Gifford 2, A.English, B.Dillon, B.Abraham, D.Dowey HAW: 星 3, 久納 The Redbacks 2009 season having ended in a 13 point loss to the Eastern Hawks in the Semi Finals in Tokyo, the home side had been looking forward to a chance at redemption in the square up versus their arch rivals for months. The two times the club met in 2009 were classic games, and with both sides bringing experience and skilled sides for this match, another great game was on the cards. Nagoya had recruited well in the offseason to make up for losses of key players to injury and repatriation, but the side hadn’t trained together as a unit much during a somewhat interrupted preseason. They were expecting the Hawks to show up ready to play though. Once on the field the Redbacks got off to a solid start, returning Midfielder Adrian English opening the goal scoring, before some good work by James under pressure on the wing delivering the ball to first gamer Dion McKay, allowing him to deliver the ball into the forward line setting up a second early goal from Dillon. The Redbacks continued to dominate the midfield early due to some disciplined positional play and constant drive out of the midfield led by English, Luscombe and McKay taking advantage of Dowey’s ruck dominance. Captain Dowey chimed in for a classic goal pivoting deep in the pocket, aiming to chip to the top of the goal square, only to see his kick go over everyone’s heads and bounce through for another six pointer. The Hawks new recruit Kuno chimed in with a goal late in the quarter to steady things a little as the Redbacks paid the price for getting greedy and all rushing forward only to see the mobile Hawks take opportunity and get a rebound goal. The home side went to the first break an ironic 13 points up. Returning to premiership football from a break in the second half of last season, big man Ben Abraham opened the major scoring in the second quarter with a solid mark and play on snap for goal early. A brilliant Hawks smother in defence denied James a goal, before Gifford played a brilliant cameo mid way through the quarter with two goals in as many minutes to leave the stunned Hawks more than five goals down at the half after a goalless term. All the talk in the Redbacks huddle at the half was that they could not rest on their laurels, as the always proud and dangerous Hawks unit would come at them hard, and come the Hawks did once the third quarter was underway. Some early behinds came for the Hawks before Hoshi injected himself into the game with three goals as relentless push forward left the Redbacks scoreless in the quarter, and the margin reduced to 9 points at the last change. The Redbacks managed to control the ball and field position far better in the final quarter in a great team effort, but the Hawks simply refused to lie down. As the final quarter went on four Hawks behinds narrowed the margin to five points. The Redbacks only point of the half came with about 90 seconds left, and their defense was able to shut the game down from there, running out winners 6 goals 6 behinds (42) to the Hawks 4 goals 12 behinds (36). Best on ground for the visitors were Hoshi with his 3 goals and Yamatake. Nagoya’s best were the combination of McKay and English in the midfield. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
