Brookers made to work hard

Under 16
GEMBROOK-Cockatoo travelled to Yarra Glen to play Seville and begin their run at the last half of the season.
They had a good start to the game with many goal scorers, due to good run, first options and good team play.
After half time, Seville took the game right up to Gembrook, who had to work hard to keep the lead.
Gembrook-Cockatoo 12.12.84 d Seville 7.5.47.
Best: S. Heathcote, C. Scott, J. Schueddekopf, D. Lord, M. Thompson.

AFTER a slow start Gembrook played well in the second and third quarters, but fell into a very ordinary last quarter.
Gembrook-Cockatoo 15.13.103 d Yarra Glen 1.1.7.Best: T. Bugg, C. Thoms, A. Moore, N. Hendrikx, A. Lees.

AN excellent contribution from every Gembrook player resulted in a great team win. The Brookers kicked their highest score for the season with team play, plenty of talk and run.

GEMBROOK-Cockatoo is hoping to shore up a place in the finals after another victory.
Following a tough first three-quarters, the team kicked away in the last.
Gembrook-Cockatoo 5.5.35 d Yarra Glen 1.3.9.
Best: C. Jacobson, D. Welsh, M. Wills, C. Hannah, R. Cracknell.
Under 11
GEMBROOK played the top side and if the boys kicked straight (all five points were getable and close), they would have pushed Woori all the way.
Woori Yallock 5.7.37 d Gembrook-Cockatoo 0.5.5.
