Game on for 09!

It was a balmy day that greeted the Braves dow to Eden football park on Sunday for the Braves opener for 09. Missing Braves Supremo JMac who was off on a honeymoon jolly on Hayman Island, the Braves had an embarrassing amount of numbers available for the day and it was hard to leave any of the lads out of the starting 16 for the day.

Coota was rich with youth and experience, but the Braves had been working hard at training for the game, so came along with some confidence of taking the three points. It didn't take long for the Braves to settle into their passing game and the possession started to pile up for the dark blues.

The forst goal came from a carefully rehearsed set play from a Jake the muss corner. Jake hoked it along the ground and Dunko made a strike at goal that made Jake's corner look good. It was a good thing that Blackie's reflexes were better and he stroked it home nicely for the Braves first of the season.
