Weather conditions were bleak at the Kalkee Recreation Reserve, when the final siren sounded the scoreboard read Kees 18.18 (126) Noradjuha-Quantong 3.1 (19). 

Kees coach Stuart Farr said it was pleasing to end the home and away season with a big win against the Bombers. 

“We had, I think, 36 scoring shots which was a really good effort considering the terrible conditions. We were just happy we were able to continually find a way to score,” he said. 

“The most pleasing was they only had four scoring shots. We were able to attack well and defend well, we had a really good balance.” 

Farr said constant attention and improvement to ball movement has been key for his team throughout the 2018 season. 

“I always want to move the ball as quick as you can and as efficiently as we can, and I thought we had some really good passages of play,” he said. 

“We are definitely happy with where we are at but we are under no illusions we have got to be better when we play Harrow-Balmoral in a couple of weeks.” 

Farr said there is a competitive spirit within the club and said it is showing with the reserves also finishing in a finals spot. 

“The reserves have created our depth this year and there would be four or five guys in that side who would consider themselves as senior footballers. It’s a good position to be in,” he said. 

Farr said Hamish Exell led from the front against the Bombers and said he was impressed by Jayden Kuhne’s five goal haul. 

Bombers coach Gareth Hose said he was happy with the opening quarter performance by his team. 

“I thought we played really well in that first quarter. We probably didn’t capitalise as well as we would have liked,” he said. 

“All credit to Kalkee, in the second quarter they played the conditions far better than us. They used the footy extremely well in the second quarter. That was really the quarter that did most of the damage.

“They were a lot classier with the footy. We were winning enough of the ball around the contests but our skills just didn’t hold up to the conditions.” 

Jack Vague continued to impress Hose in the ruck. 

Hose said Vague has the ability to win the ball in the air or along the ground.
