Tough day out

The tough start for Werribee Centrals in the Geelong and District Football League continued on Saturday.

It hasn’t been the start to the season for the Centurions they would have been after having played finals last season and that tough run continued against Inverleigh.

Saturday’s match started with both teams struggling to convert on the scoreboard, with just one goal apiece in the first quarter.

The Centurions had a better second quarter and were able to open up a 13 point lead at half time despite again missing some chances.

The Hawks got going in the third quarter and kicked five goals to take the momentum into the final quarter with a 12 point lead.

They continued the momentum in the final quarter to come away with a 10.16 (76)-8.15 (51) win.

The Centurions kicked just two goals in the second half as they missed more opportunities in front of goal

Carmelo Saliba was the only multiple goal kicker for the Centurions, kicking three goals.

Bradley Carlton, Tate Camilleri and Michael Culliver were named the best for the Centurions.

After four rounds, the Centurions sit last as the only team without a win.

Meanwhile, it was also a tough day for the Centurions A-grade netballers.

Inverleigh led by three goals at quarter time, before doubling the lead heading into the main break.

The margin continued to grow in third quarter as the Hawks won the term, 10-7.

Iverleigh lifted a gear in the final quarter as it piled on 19 goals to just six to come away with a 52-30 win.

Ashlee Brunato shot 12 goals for the Centurions as they had four different options in the circle.

Veteran shooter Ellie Tubbs had her second game back in the grade after having last season off as she had a child.

The Centurions sit in 10th spot a spot that is unusual for them, as one of three teams without a win after four games.

The Centurions are on the road this Saturday, facing Corio at Shell Reserve.
