ROUND 9: UPDATE

26th June 2007

Round 9 saw the seniors and the reserves travel down the Peninsula , while the 19's had another home game against Bulleen Temp. The reserves started off the day with yet another impressive win. OMFC welcomed back Brent Fairbanks, who not only kicked 3 majors but set up chances for his team mates as well. GOOD TO SEE THE BIG FELLA BACK!!  Piran ' THE WALL' Gartner continued his form in the back line, while Art Kiantos was outstanding all day for the panthers. The ressies ended up winning easily but to  Peninsula ’s credit the score board didn’t reflect how hard the panthers had to work. That win leaves us in second place behind Oakleigh AFC. The seniors had a tough game against a red hot Peninsula OB side, who were sitting 4th on the ladder. David 'Cocky' Cochrane and Gareth 'Snoz' Snow were again the focal points up forward and they did not let us down, kicking 6 between them (Cocky 4, Snoz 2). Jesse 'The Guzzler' Prowse was again dominant on the day. With the panthers leading by 4 goals at half time, Peninsula were much still in the game and with the home side kicking 6 goals to 4 in the 3rd quarter the stage was set. With Trent 'Shagga' Wilshire running the middle, OMFC were able to get a couple early goals and jump away to a 4 goal lead, Peninsula then came back from the brink and set up a thrilling last few minutes. With only minutes remaining and the scores only a couple of points apart, second gamer Mitch "Kiblet' Kibby stood up, dodging a bloke on the boundary then kicking the sealer with his opposite boot. The seniors ended up victors by 18 points, and are now 6 points clear on top. The 19's had another dismal display against Bulleen Temp. The young panthers were ordinary from the outset, not being able to capitalize on Bulleen mistakes and poor use of the footy saw Bulleen easily run over the young panthers.
