Seniors vs De La Salle
In a thrilling encounter, the Weller's would etch their names in the history books with a monumental win over De La Salle in a very even B Grade competition. This victory marks the first-ever senior game against De La Salle at this level, signifying a significant milestone for the club.
Ben Carlisle, fresh from the Under 19s, made his senior debut, showcasing his talent and determination on the field. Additionally, Thomas Oliver returned to the side after successfully completing two weeks of concussion protocols, adding depth and experience to the team.
Despite a sluggish start, the Weller's found their rhythm in the middle quarters, maintaining relentless pressure on the opposition. The midfield, asserted dominance as the game progressed, providing ample opportunities for the potent forward duo of Harry Laukens and Liam Thomas, who rose to the occasion with some clinical finishing. Josh Gale’s performance on the wing was nothing short of spectacular. Gale's influence was highlighted by two scintillating goals that electrified the crowd and lifted his team's spirits. Caleb Finlayson also continued his excellent form around the ground and finished with 2 goals.
Defensively, the Weller's were rock-solid, with the back six led by stalwart Ben Hart with great support from Lachie Powell & George Kalargyros thwarting numerous De La Salle attacks. Their resilience and composure under pressure were instrumental in maintaining control of the game.
As the final quarter unfolded, De La Salle mounted a spirited comeback, but the Weller's remained resolute, weathering the storm to secure a hard-fought victory. The team's determination and unity were evident as they held off a fast-finishing opponent to seal another important win on the road.
Looking ahead, Weller's eagerly anticipates their next challenge as they prepare to face Caulfield Grammarians at home. The club extends a warm invitation to all supporters to come out and show their support at GBO. A big thank you is extended to all the helpers & supporters whose efforts contributed to this historic and unforgettable day.
