Finley played an incredibly tough and skilled game on Saturday.
The young Finley side rose to challenge against a polished Moama team, drawing the first quarter and trailing by two goals leading into the final quarter.
Unfortunately due to a few errors by the Finley side, Moama extended their lead in the final term to win by nine goals.
Despite the loss, the A-graders played an impressive game as a team.

B-grade: Finely 28 def by Moama 57.
We always knew it would be extremely tough game for us against a very well drilled Moama side. However, in saying that the scoreboard did not reflect the game at all.
Finley had some great positives to take away, one being able to maintain pressure and intensity from the start through to the finish despite the scoreboard.
Our defence worked hard and were able to get some hard earned intercepts, which was transitioned down the court and capitalised on.
It is round four and we still haven’t had the same team twice, so their resilience to be able to adapt as team with different people each week has been pleasing to watch.
