Swan Shield AFL State Quarter Finalists
Yesterday, YAHS took part in the Riverina finals of the Under 16’s Swan Shield AFL knockout in Wagga Wagga at Robertson Oval. The Swan Shield is a CHS statewide knockout.
The boys took on Corowa HS in their first game and got off to a flying start with YAHS 49 defeating Corowa 30. Tom Shelton proved too strong up forward and Nick Arnold was outstanding across half back.
The second game was against Finley HS. YAHS was defeated in this game 32 to 22. A goal in the last 30 seconds of the game by Tom Shelton meant that YAHS was still able to win their pool. Seth Eastley and Dougal Gleeson had huge games.
YAHS played Billabong HS in one of the finals. The winner of this game would progress to the CHS quarter finals in Wollongong in September. Unfortunately, a student from BHS injured his leg early in the game and the game finished early. YAHS was given the win.
As a result we are now off to Wollongong to play in the CHS Swan Shield AFL knockout quarter finals in September.
