We started well and it was an even contest with neither side able to win clean footy and for
the first 5 - 10 minutes it was predominately played between the two half forward lines.
Ivanhoe kicked a couple and we got one back, but from then on Ivanhoe got their running
game going and for the second week running we were dominated at clearances and
stoppages.
Ivanhoe's good players all got into the game, their bigger bodied players dominated in close
and we couldn't match them. They kicked 6 goals for the quarter to lead 37 - 8 at quarter
time.
Our efforts in the second quarter lifted and for a large portion of the quarter I felt we had
most of the play, our intensity around the footy was good and we slowed them up, however a
few skill errors and lapses in concentration and Ivanhoe made us pay. In a quarter where I
felt we probably outplayed them we lost the quarter 21 - 8. We just weren't getting the
reward for our efforts.
The third quarter went back to how the first quarter finished off, we allowed Ivanhoe to run,
get first to the footy, became very reactive and just wanted to play safe / predictable footy.
We weren't as a team prepared to run, take risks or attempt to make Ivanhoe accountable for
us. They generally dominated the quarter winning 33 - 9.
Tom asked the boys to take the game on and change the angles to try and open it up in the
last quarter, disappointingly we weren't able to do that and Ivanhoe with the support of their
school, completely dominated the last quarter winning it 40 - 6.

Our first Friday afternoon fixture of the season saw a tantalising clash against Ivanhoe at
Greensborough. The team was in high spirits after a solid week on the training track.
In pristine overhead conditions, debutant Jack Mitchell got on the scoreboard, cementing an
early lead. The team was working in unity, with the defence proving gallant, preventing
numerous Ivanhoe attacking movements.
Ivanhoe eventually capitalised through sheer weight of numbers, leaving the score delicately
balanced at 1-1 at half time.
After the break, some early attacking efforts broke down, with Ivanhoe getting on top of the
game. Despite numerous injuries to key players, the team fought on valiantly, with Josh
Teale, Manisha Arunasalam and Dylan McCaffrey playing well in some unfamiliar roles in
the last parts of the game.
The final result was a 4-1 loss, with the defence conceding some late goals whilst we
pressed in an attempt to steal a result.
Overall, there is still some work to do, however also many positives which bode well for our
attack on the rest of the season.

Our second game of the year was against the Trinity grammar which ended in a 2 - 0 loss
for our boys. While we won’t be happy for any loss, the fact that they scored in the first 15
secs of the game and didn’t add to that score line until the last 4 minutes, Yarra can be
happy with the fact that we kept them under control for the majority of the game. The team is
developing every week which is encouraging for all to see.

CROSS COUNTRY
CHAMPION
Yarra Valley Grammar runners achieved very good results in the third round of AGSV Cross
Country for 2017. Yarra finished in 6​th​ place ahead of Ivanhoe, PEGS and Assumption. With
injury and illness impacting on each team, our performance fell short of the heights achieved
in Round 2. Nonetheless, some very impressive efforts by our Year 7 to 10 runners
continued, and buoy hopes for strong results in the remaining 4 Rounds.
Josh Wright and Brendan Choo, both from Year 9 continued to climb up the finishing order,
crossing the line in 5​th​ and 6​th​ place respectively, recording best ever results in the process.
Madi Phuah (Year 10), recovering from a serious foot injury worked hard over the second
lap of the two lap event, chasing down 10 competitors to finish in 32​nd​ place. Sam Smedley
(Year 9) also impressed, completing the course in 29​th​ position.
Ruby Maher (Year 7) re-wrote her own record book. After finishing 23​rd​ in the last Round,
Ruby crossed the line in 16​th​ place, and she was the first girl home. Ruby was also the 6​th
Year 7 student home. After a very long week participating in the Year 8 Camp, Zachary
Warton ‘fronted up’ to contest the Junior race. Showing great determination, given he was
very tired after the week-long camp, he still managed to finish in 18​th​ place. Not to be
outdone, Hunter Hopkins (Year 7) maintained his courageous effort right to the finish line,
crossing in 22​nd​ place. In the process he recorded a nine-place ‘personal best’.
The Junior team finished in 5​th​ place overall, and Yarra’s best result was achieved by the
Intermediate team (4​th​ overall). The Senior team slipped to 7​th​.
Next week sees the Cross Country squad travelling to Albert Park to compete in the
Victorian Schools’ Road Relay Championships.
