Season over for Bombers and Crows

-

The curtains were drawn on the seasons of both Nilma-Darnum and Longwarry senior teams after their clash at Darnum on Saturday.

It had been another tough year for Nilma-Darnum that was unable to conjure a win and a disappoint­ment for Longwarry despite eight wins but well out of finals contention.

The Crows were much too good for Nilma-Darnum on Saturday strolling to a 21-15 to 6-8 win.

The final term was the most productive for both sides.

The Bombers kicked three goals for the term to double its tally for the term while Longwarry slammed through seven.

Braydon McHugh finished his season on a high for the Crows with a seven-goal haul with Jedd Serong (three), Jake Serong, Jake Newnham and Ryan Wouters bagging two each and Cole Cook, Jonah Serong, Ben Cuckson, Angus Adamiak and Brad Martin kicking single goals.

The side's best players were Cook, Bailey Stephens, Jackson Caddy, Jake Stewart, Cuckson and McHugh.

Despite its long and winless year Nilma-Darnum

still played with plenty of spirit and pride in the jumper.

Nathan Campbell, Nick Carrigy, Harry Moore, Zachary Scanlon, Mal Hunter and Dylan Alberni typified that to be named in the best.

The Bombers goals were all singles, from Moore, Harley Lacunes, Campbell, Scanlon, Chris Cameron and Gary Hallam.

Reserves

Longwarry reserves were one point away from matching the senior teams score.

Experience­d and quality player Leigh McDonald had something of a field day slotting through a comfortabl­e 10 goals in the 21-14 to 1-5 result against Nilma-Darnum.

It was a difficult choice to select the best for Longwarry but Brody Hamilton and McDonald topped the list ahead of Mitchell Young, Bailey Osseweyer, Luke Galley and James English.

The Crows other multiple goal kickers were Harrison Stephens (three) and Josh Collettt, Galley and Tyson Huston two each.

The better players for Nilma-Darnum were Matt Cheyne who also kicked the only goal, Blake Roberts, Corey Wright, Etah Carlile and Justin Dessent.
