Round 5 Match Report

Fitzroy 11 . 5 - 71

Canterbury 5 . 11 - 41

Way to go ROYS!!!  It's always great to play at Brunswick St - especially on such a beautiful, still, Sunday afternoon and especially when we play our best footy.  After the disappointment of our game in Round 4 we bounced back today with strong running, excellent passing to players in space and some real accuracy in front of goal.  We had a terrific 1st quarter just as we have had for a few weeks in a row. But today, for a refreshing change, we didn't slacken off our intensity in the 2nd quarter or in the third.  Canterbury's inacccuracy in shooting on goal saw us 10 goals up at 3 quarter time.  Not surprisingly they came out in the final quarter and took the game right up to us outscoring us 4 goals to 0.  Fortunately the backline stood tall and played out the quarter despite the constant pressure.  In the end our lead was insurmountable and we deserved our victory.  We will need to increase our fitness levels over the next few weeks to make sure that we can run out the full game but today was a great win.  Well done fellas.
