Victorian Junior Championship
Under 16 Boys Round 5
Geelong Cats 40 lost to Diamond Valley 58
Top Scorers: T. Dow 10, B. Mayes 10, X. McKeegan 5
Coach’s Comment: “Playing our final home game against a team we usually match up well against promised a close contest. In the first half both teams took a little while to get their games going with Geelong down 24-13at the half in a low scoring opening. Diamond Valley then went on to hit a total of nine from outside the arc while our own offensive game fluctuated with momentum changes. The end result was a 58-40 loss to Geelong in a game we really needed to win.”
Under 12 Girls Round 5
Geelong Cats 38 lost to Diamond Valley 42
Top Scorers: Z. McKeegan 13, A. Garcia 8, M. Scarlett 8
Coach’s Comment: “Letting Diamond Valley get out to an 11-4 lead in the first quarter, wasn’t the start we were after. To the girls credit we fought back strongly in the second quarter and the game remained a tight contest to the end, with Diamond Valley taking the points in a close finish.”

Coach’s Comment: “We started well, taking a lead into halftime against a strong opposition. Unfortunately our second-half team defence let us down again, giving up our lead far too easily at the start of the third. Another outstanding offensive night kept us in until the final possession.”

players missing we didn’t step up to fill the gaps. Poor shooting percentage
and a high turnover count were the norm in a game we will put behind us.”
