A goal to a man in form. @PatNaish is the happy recipient of a 50m penalty and he nails his set-shot from the arc.

Goal to Willy to start the 2nd qtr (to ex-Tiger Adam Marcon).

25 - 7


Presumedly, given it's at windy Point Gellibrand, that Willy have the breeze this qtr.

------------------------------------

Edit: A defensive mix-up in the goal-square leads to @WilliamstownFC kicking its first goal of the game.

Edit: Mabior Chol reads the flight of the ball better than anyone and marks on his chest, 20m out, directly in front. And he converts!
