Title
This week **cough cough, a few weeks back**
the 'Cats played host again at Mohawk Park, this time
taking on the High Park Demons.
While still looking for their first win on the hallow
turf of Mohawk, the Wildcats were now clutching at
straws to make the finals, and playing lower place
Demons this was their first hurdle to overcome the
“disappointing year” tag that so many around the OAFL
have given the Wildcats.
The first quarter was a ripper. The 'Cats got off to
the start they were after, an absolute flyer, kicking 5
goals to nothing in the first term. The ball was moved
well out of the centre, with one Daniel “C#$T” Crouch
finding the ball well off the half forward line but struggled
hitting the majors early with a few shanks. The 'Cats
showed amazing speed against a soft Demon outfit, and
proved their worth by the bell of the first siren. But alas,
the Wildcats can’t play 4 full quarters of football… By
half time the Hamilton large lead was not expanded but
instead dwindled, with the Demons only being 2 kicks
away from hitting the lead.
With something to prove, and after a good
dressing down by Coach “My head is going to explode”
Johns, the Wildcats came out firing. The 3rd term the
'Cats absolutely annihilated the Demons thanks to some
great work out of the centre by Settle and Hilly, and
Crouchy finding a bundle of the ball ending the game
with a game high 7 goals, and also claiming himself his
first BOG mug in his 1 and a ½ year career with the
Wildcats. Time after time Hilly worked his nuts off
belting the ball out from the bounce downs before
suffering a near fatal knee injury that saw him off the
ground for the rest of the match but also saw him
winning his first hardhat for the year.
The final scoreline was definitely an indication
as to where this club is heading for the rest of the year,
and was by far their most consistent performance to
date.
This weekend the Cats head up to Humber
North to take on the "aren’t as good as they think they
are” Hawks and are eyeing off another win. Make sure
you get up and support the boys. Games on @ 3pm.
