Brighton got the first two goals of the game, but the Eagles hit back and at quarter time the scores were locked at 19 points apiece. From their the two teams went head to head, but it was Brighton who got the score on the board, kicking four goals to nil in the remaining three quarters.
None tried harder for the Eagles than Tom Gillies. His defence was second to none. Also in the backline, the ever-reliable Josh Challenger refused to let the ball past him. His ability to play great footy week after week is a real credit. Kye Tomkinson played great footy up forward as did Zoe Thurston when down back. Josh Whitford, Jordan Eiszele and Brayden Chaplin ran hard all night, while up forward Charlie Stewart had his kicking boot on, bagging two majors.
Scores - Brighton 7. 1 (43) d New Norfolk 3. 5 (23)
Goals - New Norfolk: Charlie Stewart 2, Jordan Eiszele; Best - New Norfolk: Thomas Gillies, Joshua Challenger, Joshua Whitford, Charlie Stewart, Brayden Chaplin and Jordan Eiszele.
Well Eagles you should hold your heads high. Five wins from eight games so far this season is an excellent effort. You all now have three weeks off to work on your skills and game plan, but most importantly enjoy your footy.
