Records tumble for Jets

26 Aug, 2009 03:53 PM
THE Nor-West Jets finalised their preparations for the finals with a club record display to obliterate a sadly undermanned Holroyd-Parramatta by 234 points at Bensons Lane on Saturday.

The Jets kicked a stunning 35.24 234 to nothing in their last match before the business end of the season, well above the previous club record senior score of 30.16 196.

And with the reserves equalling their club record winning margin of 243 points against Camden in round two this year, Nor-West booted a remarkable 71.52 478 to 0.1 1 across the two matches, with only inaccurate kicking preventing a pair of bigger massacres.

The Jets were in top form from the first bounce as they piled on nine goals for a 58-point lead at quarter time with Dale Wellington and Andrew Travers controlling the ruck and Nick Milkins, Cheyne Anderson and Ed Sulli-

van untouchable in the middle.

They provided magnificent ser-

vice to running wingmen Casey Wenselowski and Owen Butcher, who delivered some of the best passes seen all year to key forwards Aaron Clayden, Mick Craigie, Luke Ayling and later Chris Kyle.

Nor-West lost its way a little in the second quarter when it kicked nine behinds from 10 scoring shots at one stage on its way to racking up 14.18 in the middle two quarters, but the radar was back on in the last quarter with 12.2 to set up its second shutout of the season.

When the ball did venture into the Goannas’ forward line, it was quickly brought back by Jack Pascoe, Daniel Guthridge and Matthew Lloyd, pumping the ball forward for the team to finish with 14 goalkickers.

Clayden was unstoppable with nine to take the league’s goalkicking award from all-season leader Casey Stephens, while Kyle and Craigie kicked four each.

But the real stuff starts now with a showdown against UNSW-ES at Bruce Purser Oval, Rouse Hill, at 12.45pm on Saturday for a spot in the grand final.
