Pickering Brook best in wet

Joel KellyThe Advocate

The game was played in strong winds amid a torrential downpour, with the playing surface covered in water.

In such conditions both sides expected a scrappy low-scoring game and the first quarter played out that way.

The Hawks kept Bullsbrook scoreless for the term and only managed a goal and five behinds for themselves in return.

The second quarter saw Bullsbrook find the run that was missing in the first quarter and gained back control of the match.

Jack Chabriere got the Saints' first goal midway through the second with a long bomb from the boundary.

Another couple of goals allowed the Saints to go into half-time with a slight lead.

After the long break, Pickering Brook lifted their intensity once again and kept Bullsbrook to another scoreless term, kicking a few of their own and holding a three-goal buffer into the final change.

A final push from the Saints in the last quarter saw them control much of the play but unfortunately unable to convert in front of goal.

Pickering managed to get a couple of late goals of their own to run away with a handy 31-point win.

Final scores Bullsbrook 3.6 (24) to Pickering Brook 7.13 (55).

Best for the Saints were Brandon Ghirradi and Scott Noonan, who both relished the wet conditions on the day."
