| ROUND 19 - STURT v NORWOOD - NORWOOD OVAL - 5/8/00 |
| Sturt have broken the drought at Norwood Oval
by easily accounting for the Redlegs at the Parade for the first time since
1986. Sturt kicked away in the second quarter and never looked back. Some
great goals to Stephen White and others kept the Blues in front in the
first quarter. It was a great way to celebrate the 150th game of Damian
Squire and the 100th game of Mark Conway. As usual Tim Weatherald, Bruce
Lennon and Damian Squire were superb in the centre with great back up from
Jarrod Twitt, Andrew Whiteman and Matthew Powell. Stephen White was magnificent,
battling injury still scored 7.2 and dominated up forward. The defence
was tight and solid all day with Scott Robinson a great contributor along
with Chris Thredgold. The Blues are now guaranteed of a finals spot and
if West somehow demolish Port and Sturt blitz South they could make the
top three, but it's not very likely. The Blues must prepare for this week's
game but more importantly, achieve some finals success.
Sturt: 7.1 (43) 13.4 (76) 19.7 (121)
22.8 (140)
Best: Weatherald, Lennon, White, Squire, Atkinson, Conway, Robinson, Powell, Whiteman, Twitt. Scorers: White 7.2, Weatherald 2.1, Squire,
Thurstans, Sheedy 2.0, Atkinson Jones 1.2, Pitura 1.1, Woosnam, Burton,
Conway, Whiteman
