On a mild winter’s day Seville started off strongly, kicking three quick unanswered goals to the western end of the Kinglake Memorial Oval.
Kinglake 17.11 (113) defeated Seville 13.8 (86)
It would be over ten minutes into the first quarter before Kinglake managed to score when full forward Josh “Nicko” Nixon would mark and put Kinglake’s first major for the day onto the scoreboard.
Kinglake playing Seville has been some tough affairs in the past, with the field umpires actually abandoning a game, at Kinglake, on July 10, 2010, after persistent on-field fighting. (For, according to the YVMDFL, the only to in their history). Whilst Saturday’s game was a tough game, the fighting was played out this time with the football.
Seville started stronger but Kinglake was able to find something midway through the first quarter and managed to finish in front by a small margin. Kinglake 4.1 (35) to Seville 3.3 (21).
Scores stayed close throughout the second quarter, as neither Kinglake nor Seville was able to really break away and build a formidable margin. The lead had switched to Seville’s advantage, with scores Kinglake 6.7 (43) to Seville 7.4 (46) at half time.
The Lakers and Seville came out fired up after the half-time break, but it would be Kinglake who kicked the first goal, within the opening minute. Seville could sense the extra vigour the Kinglake players had come out of the rooms with after half-time and quickly stepped up their pressure too.
The third quarter would be yet another tight affair, with Seville having a four-point margin going into the final break.
Kinglake 9.9 (63) to Seville 10.7 (67).
In the final term, Josh “Nicko” Nixon came out firing, taking 4 contested possessions and kicking three goals in the final term.
Kinglake stepped up the pressure even more and Seville just couldn’t fire again, leaving Kinglake to quickly build a quick five-goal margin early in the final term. Between “Nicko” and Luke Forsyth’s goals, Kinglake quickly built a comfortable margin midway through the final term.
Next week, Kinglake travel to Gembrook-Cockatoo and Seville plays Thornton-Eildon at home.
