ROUND ELEVEN vs Dederang Mt Beauty
Seniors Football: 7.3 45 - 4.5 29
In wet, muddy and bitterly cold conditions, Beechworth battled hard in a physical contest against Dederang Mt Beauty. The Bushrangers applied strong scoreboard pressure early and were able to maintain a handy advantage for most of the afternoon despite the difficult conditions. Dederang Mt Beauty finished strongly with a couple of late goals reducing the final margin, but Beechworth had done enough to secure an important win. Highlights included a vintage torpedo punt from the boundary by the skipper that brought plenty of excitement, while youngster Taylor Thompson celebrated his first senior game with his first senior goal. It was a determined team performance and another encouraging step forward for the Bushrangers.

Another great win Bushies, Difficult conditions in the morning but first up probably got the best conditions for the day… at least the ground anyway. Really solid effort by all with some younger players getting a bit more of the play this week while our more experienced players made the most of limited game time and playing out of position to give others a go. Proud of the way they went about it!

A Grade Netball: 33 - 55
A tough day for the girls today, unable to come away with the win, but there were plenty of positives to take away from the game. Coby stepped on court for her first A Grade game this year and, even more excitingly, played alongside her niece Molly for the first time. She provided beautiful leads and drives all day and had a massive impact on the game. Eidenne ran tirelessly through the centre, providing plenty of voice and delivering some great feeds into the circle. Emmerson worked hard in the circle all day and was a reliable target, converting consistently and keeping the scoreboard ticking over.

U13s Netball: 6 - 22
Well done to the 13s, who played with huge heart across four rainy quarters today! The girls put up a good fight against Dederang, ultimately going down 6-22. Our attacking game plan worked on opening up the court, popping forward for the ball, and transitioning quickly to defence on any turnovers. In defence, the focus was on staying tight and getting 3 feet and hands over straight away to apply pressure and slow down the opposition's progression. Brilliant fighting spirit in the wet weather!
