HEIGHTS IN DRAWN GAME THRILLER

The Avondale Heights Football Club Senior team drew with Strathmore in the Top of The Table Round 15 Clash at Canning Reserve. Strathmore opened up the first quarter controlling play and scoring two goals in the opening 10 minutes, but the Heights began to work their way back into the game, kicking 3 unanswered goals and gaining the ascendancy to take a five point lead into the quarter time break. In the second quarter, the Heights continued to work hard, with Dean Galea and Patrick Rose continuing to present themselves and Byrne working hard in the ruck and around the ground. The Heights stretched the lead to 18 points having kicked a total of five unanswered goals. At this point, the Heights appeared to be right on top but Strathmore fought their way back late in the quarter to reduce their half time deficit to 12 points. In the third quarter, the Heights controlled the play early but could only stretch the lead to 19 points. Strathmore then fought back with three straight goals and a series of behinds to take a 2 point lead into the three quarter time break. The final quarter was a thriller with neither side being able to shake off the opposition. Strathmore extended their lead to 8 points early in the quarter but the Heights fought back to take the lead. With 2 minutes left on the clock, the Heights held onto a 3 point lead but Strathmore continued their thrust forward and the Heights dogged defence continued to nullify each attempt forward. A rushed behind and shots under pressure by Strathmore saw the scores all tied up. The desperation of the Heights players was not going to allow this game to slip but the end result was a draw. As with all drawn games, there is a mix of emotions of what could have been. One thing for sure as that the Mighty Heights are back on track after a trilling game against the quality opposition of Strathmore.
Next week the Heights take on Essendon Doutta Stars at Nipper Jordan Oval at Buckley Park. Lets all get down to the game and support the mighty Heights.
