Terrigal Avoca extended their unbeaten start to the season to eleven with a 19.22.136 to 3.4.22 over Cardiff in round 13 of the Black Diamond AFL competition played on Saturday, July 12.
With Newcastle City suffering a shock loss to Warners Bay, Terrigal Avoca are now just one win away from claiming back to back minor premierships. With Cardiff missing their front line midfielders Liam Gibson, Jason Adlington and Beau Heeney, the Terrigal Avoca Panthers dominated possession courtesy of Jono Gourlay, James Webster and Kurt Fleming.
Terrigal Avoca defence restricted the Cardiff Hawks to just one goal for the first half and only inaccurate kicking prevented the margin from being greater than 58 points. The second half was much the same as the first with Terrigal Avoca in cruise control with their only concern being Tom Head leaving the field with a shoulder injury. Gourlay, Webster, Fleming and Head were the best for the winners with James Polglase the most successful of their 12 goal kickers with four majors.
