Reserves and Colts Round Seven Recap

RESERVES

Subiaco continued on their winning ways and held off a fighting Thunder outfit to win by 9 points at Leederville Oval on Saturday June 4.

With the Lions eyeing off a third win from as many games, they were determined to put in a strong effort against Peel.

Forward Richard Bartlett was promoted from the Colts to play his first game of seniors, and kicked a goal early to help Subiaco get off to a good start.

The Lions looked the better side early, but kicked eight behinds in the third term to give the Thunder an opening.

However, Subiaco held strong despite the Thunder getting on a roll, and took out the 8.18 (66) to 8.9 (57) win.

Corey Bellouard looked strong on the wing with 23 disposals and a goal, while Lachlan Vanirsen looked back to his best with a game-high 26 touches.

COLTS

The Lions fell to a Thunder outfit that would not give up, with just one point separating the two sides in a thrilling contest.

It was a frustrating result for Subiaco, who were in front for the majority of the contest.

After the side burst out of the gate with a 19-point lead, Peel managed to claw it back.

There were constant momentum shifts throughout the game, with the scores level halfway through the final term. 

The Thunder were able to break the deadlock with a behind, and a frantic five minutes to finish the term meant no further scores were added for either side.

Dylan O’Dea continued to impress down back, with 21 disposals and six marks, while Koltyn Tholstrup was also impressive with three goals to go with his 15 touches.

SUBIACO        3.3    6.6    9.7    9.10    (64)
PEEL THUNDER    3.4    5.6    7.8    9.11    (65)

Goals: Tholstrup 3; Dewar 2; Evitt, Farmer, Hansen, Newick.
Best: O’Dea, Tholstrup, Murison, Dewar, Farmer.
