Lindenow South are through to Omeo and District football grand final after scoring a hard fought 10 point victory over Swifts Creek at Buchan on Saturday.
The match was played in wet and slippery conditions but it certainly didn’t detract from the quality of the match and the spectacle. Players from both sides giving their all and then some.
The first quarter developed into a shoot out, with the Swampies kicking five goals to Swifts Creek’s four. Key Lindenow South playmakers Sam Howden and coach Nathan Pollard were already looking dangerous.
Cameron Johnson kicked the first goal for Swifts Creek at the sixth minute mark and when Pollard goaled from 45 metres at the 11 minute mark to put the Swampies in front, they would hold the lead to half way through the final quarter.
The game became an arm wrestle in the second quarter, Lindenow South establishing a 17 point led midway through the quarter after goals to Howden and speedy youngster Griffin Sherritt.
