ROUND THIRTEEN vs Thurgoona
Indigenous Round
Seniors Football: 10.9 69 - 9.11 65
After a week of heavy rain, all signs pointed to a muddy slog at Beechworth, but the home ground held up remarkably well and allowed the Bushies to move the ball with confidence throughout the first half. The contest was a genuine arm wrestle, with momentum swinging repeatedly, but the commitment and experience of Beechworth's "Dad's Army" proved crucial as they wrestled the game back on the club's terms each quarter. Every Bushies player played their role, working tirelessly across the ground and contributing to a disciplined team performance. It was a well-deserved reward for a group that has battled through a difficult run of injuries and setbacks in recent weeks. A tense final term had the home crowd on edge, but composed decision-making and determined defence saw Beechworth hold on for a hard-fought victory.
