Coburg Celebrate Pitman Milestone

6/24/2009

0 Comments

 
Coburg Lions (Mustangs) celebrated the 100 game milestone of club stalwart Paul Pitman in the best possible fashion with a 73 point win over Craigieburn.

Pitman affectionately known as "Tangles" topped his day off with a goal from the very last kick of the game after the siren.

It was evident again that the Lions had come to play with a 5 goal to 1 first quarter. By halftime the Lions had maintained their lead of 5 goals against a stubborn opposition who pulled out all stops to reign in the Lion onslaught.

With regular bullocking centre half forward Dean Brincau and legendary full forward Mick Noble both out injured, the Lions went into the game minus huge firepower.

The team were compounded also by the unfortunate red-card to running back Craig Mackay who got tangled up in an accidental contact with his opponent.

Playing with 17 men for the entire 2nd half coach Gubby refused to go into his shell imploring his charges to keep attacking and run over the opposition.

Run over the opposition they did, outscoring their opposition 10 goals to 2 in the second half whilst finishing the last quarter with 16 men after wingman Zahn sustained a hamstring injury.

"It was a gallant performance by the boys and they stuck to their guns playing attacking football regardless of the circumstances", Gubby said.

The highlight of the day apart from the fantastic performances of Alex, Skeebs, Sugar, Vescio, Garry and Snoz was the amazing dropkick Supergoal kicked by Sugar. On an impossible angle of at least 45 degrees and almost fifty metres out, Sugar slotted what can only be described as the goal of the year earning the first nine pointer of the season for the Lions.

Coburg Lions (Mustangs) recorded a convincing 106 point victory over Glen Orden in Round 3 to re-establish their season after an away loss to Frankston Districts in Round 2. 

A poignant moment took place prior to the first bounce, with Glen Orden and coburg players lining up and observing one minute silence and black arm bands in commemoration of the tragic death of 17 year old Glen Orden footballer Andrew Gilmore.

Facing the top side away, the Lions needed to assert their authority early and they managed to do that with aplomb, kicking 7 goals to nil in the first quarter.

With players returning from injury and absence, the Lions were strengthened across defence, midfield and up forward.

Goalsneak Billy Colosimo was outstanding with six goals and his mercurial efforts in the forward line set up many more. Regular ruckman Scott 'Wizz' Ryan relished his opportunity up forward with 6 goals, straighter kicking could have netted the big man double figures.

The inclusion of Kevin 'Tapper' Mathews in the ruck and Gary in the forward line for their first games also reaped rewards with both players making valuable contributions.

Coach Gubby was coy about the result suggesting that "the team still has alot of improvement with a greater attention to detail and focussing on 4 quarter footy whilst there are still players to return from injury".

In other results the woe for Coach Steve Moss continues after another loss to the Supers Division 3 team. It wasn't the fact that the team lost it's third game in a row but rather the way in which they lost.

The undermanned Masters battled wilfully against Glen Orden but eventually went down by 12 goals.
