Both 1st grade & U19s have progressed to the final stages of the semis with victories today.
1st Grade
First grade faced off against Lambtom and after a cagey opening period it was the Bears who began to dominate. In the 15th minute some excellent build up work saw Jye McKeller finish beautifully and give the Bears the lead. Weston continued to open Lambton up and it was that man, Connor Evans (left), who's pass unlocked the Jaffas defence to meet Jason Cowburns perfectly timed run. Jason then held his composure the deposit the ball into the onion bag.
Weston had other chances to put the game to bed in the first half but it stayed 2-0 at, as Del Piero would say, oranges.
The second half was to turn into a thriller as Weston not long after the break took what looked a winning lead from a Garry McDermott goal. But the jaffas did find the net and that just filled their sails as not long after they brought it back to 3-2. Lambton really chased the game game and put the Bears under a lot of pressure towards the end. Weston however held on the progress to the major semi final.
First grade are at home again next week and get another crack at the Jets youth in what will be a stormer of a game.
U19s
