Jets girls hold strong

The Western Jets girls side picked up their third win of the Coates Talent League on Saturday in tough conditions.

The Jets were at home at DSV Stadium in Williamstown against the Murray Bushrangers.

The Jets jumped out of the blocks with three first quarter goals to lead by 15 points at quarter time.

Neither side was able to kick a goal in the second quarter as the lead increased slightly to 17 points.

The Jets kicked two goals in the third quarter to put the game beyond doubt with a 31 point margin heading into the final quarter.

The Bushrangers were able to get their second goal of the game in the final quarter, but the Jets had already done enough to win, 5.9 (39)-2.4 (16).

Alana Dambrosio kicked three goals for the Jets, while Paige McHutchison kicked two goals.

Dambrosio was named in the best alongside Charlie O’Connor and Leilani Petaia.

The Jets sit in 15th spot.

In the boys competition, the Jets fell short against the Bushrangers in the second match of the double header at Williamstown.

The Bushrangers led by 20 points at quarter time before the Jets got it back to just one point at half time.

It was a close third quarter before the Bushrangers kicked four final quarter goals to seal a 9.12 (66)-5.4 (34).

It was single goal kickers for the Jets, with Finnegan Davis, Griffin Barker and Isaac Abbay named their best.

Meanwhile, Jets’ star Thomas McGuane made his Victorian Football League debut for Collingwood.
