Terrigal Avoca, as they have done all year, dominated Cardiff with a 28.14.182 to 4.6.30 win at Adcock Park in round 12 of the Black Diamond AFL competition on Sunday, July 19.
The win made it five games in a row that the Panthers have won by a margin in excess of 90 points. The Hawks suffered a setback prior to the game with their best defender Zac Metcalfe and reliable on-baller Nic Chapman withdrawing through illness.
The Panthers dominated the match from the outset, illustrated by the fact that they had 15 individual goal kickers. At the other end of the ground, the Panthers defence led by James Hart was again at their miserly best which prevented Cardiff from kicking a goal after half time.
Alastair Richardson was dominant around the ground and also kicked four goals, with James Webster, Hart and Sam O’Brien also standouts for Terrigal Avoca. The only downside for Terrigal Avoca was the hamstring injury suffered to key forward Jono Gourlay which is likely to sideline him for a few weeks.
Terrigal Avoca also attained Victories in both the fi rst and second divisions of the competition.
