Newbridge kicked with the wind in the first quarter. Kristian Shevlin was on fire at full forward and was too big and strong for Garth Boldiston. Mitiamo were turning the ball over and it was frustrating their forwards.
In the Second quarter, Mitiamo started to get the ball out of the centre with Shannon Hayes winning in the ruck, and Tom Grant and Guy Orton taking it away from the centre, giving Haythorpe two goal and Chapman three goals and plenty of opportunities. Matt Ginnivan and Luke Mitchell were giving plenty of drive from the flanks.
Half Time: Mitiamo 8.10 Newbridge 4.6
Mitiamo ran away with the game after half time, with better teamwork and tackling with two vocal points up forward in Chapman and Haythorpe, while Joel Whybird kept Shelvin quiet and Tom Gill had the better of Sam Mildren. Chapman finished with seven, Guy Orton five, and Haythorpe two.
Final scores: Mitiamo 18.14 Newbridge 7.11.
Mitiamo kicked fifteen goals to Newbridge’s four goals after quarter time.
