Jabiru Bombers hold out fast finishing Pints
The Jabiru Bombers played their 4th round game at home against Pints on Saturday
30 October. This was the 1st game that the bombers have played against a top four
side and the game certainly lived up to a top four clash.
Jabiru went into the 1st quarter with only four players on the bench and a few unfit
players, Skip had to play with a quad muscle tear and Richie Lindner was not
available until quarter time. Youngsters Travis Vigona, Houston Managku and Daniel
Kuskey lined up for their 1st game in a Bombers guernsey.
In the 1st quarter, Jabiru soon realised they were up against a confident Pints side
led by ex-Waratahs legend Wayne Worden. The tackling was very good from the
opposition and a few players found themselves caught with the ball. It was a neck
and neck struggle with the Bombers having a slight lead by quarter time at 3.2.20 to
Pints 2.2.14.
The 2nd quarter was the Bombers worst for the year, with Pints piling on 5 goals
straight to Jabiru’s miserly 2.2.14 (it pays to kick straight guys). Richard Lindner
arrived in time for the 2nd quarter and if it wasn’t for his assistance the Bombers may
have been further behind at the halfway mark for the first time in 4 games.
At the half way mark Pint s led by 10 points 7.2.44 to Jabiru 5.4.34
The 3rd quarter was a potential match winner with the Bombers kicking 6.3 to Pints
a solitary behind. Important goals to James Marrday, Nathan Perrin and two to Skip
Fairman saw a huge turnaround in the game that literally stunned Pints.
The onballers worked much harder at getting the ball out of the middle with ruckman
Grant Hancock getting the ball down to the hungry onballers Tyson Toner, Richie
Lindner and Travis Vigona. James Marrday had a great 3rd quarter to compliment
a well rounded game. Solid work from half back flank Kadeem May together with
Mickitja Onus at full back and Matty Large at centre half back and the three quarter
time scores showed Jabiru leading 11.7.73 to Pints 7.3.45
The last quarter began with Jabiru holding a 28 point buffer and looking certain
winners, but Pints came out firing with 2 quick goals with Wayne Worden hanging
back at the centre bounces winning the ball and continually driving the ball into the
Pints forward line. A third goal and Pints were starting to sniff victory.
The Bombers got the ball into the forward line a couple of times for 3 behinds but
could not kick that major to seal the game. Houston Managku had a ripper last
quarter playing off the wing and had a chance to kick the winning goal, but his kick
faded at the last minute and sailed through for a point.
Pints kicked a fourth goal and with 6 minutes to go and Jabiru holding a slender 3
point lead, the game could still go either way.
Some of the older Jabiru Bombers heads tried slowing the game down in the dying
stages and there was some of the old kick to kick time wasting required to run the
clock down. The siren sounded with both teams out on their feet, and the mighty
Jabiru Bombers despite some injuries to key personnel, hanging on by the skin of
their teeth for a well deserved 3 point victory.
The final score was Jabiru Bombers 11.8.74 to Pints 11.5.71
The Mug & Dinner voucher valued at $100 from the Croc Hotel for best on the
ground went to Grant Hancock, 2nd best with a $50 voucher went to Richard Lindner,
and 3rd best was Kadeem May who received a $30 Foodland voucher.
Best Players: Grant Hancock, Richard Lindner, Kadeem May, Tyson Toner, James
Marrday, Travis Vigona.
Goal kickers: Darren Fairman 3, Desmond Stacey 2, James Marrday 2, Nathan
Perrin 2, Grant Hancock 1, Richard Lindner 1.
It was also another great sponsor’s day with the Jabiru Bombers acknowledging the
support of major sponsor the Jabiru Sports & Social Club.
This week the Bombers are away at TIO Stadium oval number 2 in Darwin against
Tracy Village on Sat 6th November with the game starting at 3.30pm.
Go Bombers!
