Shortland break Terrace to continue strong START

10/8/2018

 
Picture
James Billingham and the Scotchies have had a phenomenal first two weeks in the league.
Shortland entered into the league with just two players with prior Newcastle Dodgeball League experience, but they’ve proven after just two weeks rookies can do the job just as well.
Last week saw them pip two time grand finalists Cooks Hill to take control of first place, and they’ve kept their strong early standing with a 10-6 win over founding club Raymond Terrace.
​The Scotchies claimed their four-set win after a surging first half, piling on the points to lead 6-0 at the break whistle through strong forward play from Brady Deacon and captain James Billingham, while Hannah Trypas controlled the back end of the court.


Raymond Terrace recovered after the initial shock to put up a fight, even going so far as to win the second half of the contest six sets to four, but it wasn’t enough to mount a significant comeback and Shortland walked away with the three points.
Despite the Terrace’s defeat, which drops them to fifth place two weeks in, Dan Jenkinson provided major impact for the northern club and was a key catalyst for their second half resurgence.
​Elsewhere at Oakdale Arena, Belmont accounted for Waratah in dominant fashion, running over their semi-final rivals from Season 10 with a 10-4 victory. 
The win keeps the Beavers as one of only two teams left in the competition to be undefeated after two rounds, and puts them on the right path for early control of the table.
Picture
Lachlan Craig returned after a first week absence to play a key role in Hamilton's 9-6 victory.
Also on Thursday evening Hamilton defeated Cooks Hill 9-6 to score their first win of the season, and Kotara joined the winner’s circle for the very first time with a fast-paced 11-6 win over fellow entry club Bar Beach.
