Blighty’s defence was excellent from start to finish, led by Elijah Swiggs and Mason Coote.
Luke Charlton and Matt Macansh played pivotal roles also.
The team hope it’s the type of win that can build some momentum and go out on a positive to finish the last stretch of games ahead.
Final score: Blighty 19.11 (125) def Mathoura 4.5 (29).
Reserves
Saturday’s result was far from the one Blighty were after, after starting flat footed and unable to arrest momentum back completely.
This was even after watching Nick Taylor's unbelievable performance in the match.
Mathoura were good enough to capitalise, albeit with some flashes from Blighty of how reserves footy is meant to look.
Taylor was probably best on ground for both sides, with Ned Danckert, Brodie Park and Blake Charlton giving other strong performances for Blighty.
Final score: Blighty 6.2 (38) def by Mathoura 16.10 (106).
