YALLOURN DOWN SALE
Yallourn, last Sunday, were opposed to Sale and defeated the visitors, 2 – 1.
This was the last game of the home and away series, and it is probable that Yallourn have missed out on a final four position by a small percentage.
The game commenced hard and fast, and Yallourn were soon into attack with a quick goal. Both teams were combining well, and Sale levelled just before half time.
During the second term, play became very keen, as a win for either side could decide a place in the four.
Yallourn forwards had many tries, and eventually their efforts were rewarded.
LATROBE VALLEY MEN’S HOCKEY SENIOR GAME
In deplorable, mud conditions, last Sunday afternoon, Yallourn were hosts to St.Patrick’s College,Sale.
The game, lacking speed, resulted in a draw, 2-2, a justified result, considering the bad conditions.
Without any exaggeration, it could be said that the ground was at least two inches under water. As the players left the ground , it was noticed the the only “white man” was the Yallourn goalie.,P.Griffiths-
but this “ serious “ condition was soon very ably remedied with the aid of the large quantities of mud at hand.
R.A.A.F. DOWN YALLOURN
In splendid weather conditions last Sunday, Yallourn were hosts to the R.A.A.F. side. The visitors, now on top of the ladder, proved too strong a combination and defeated Yallourn 4 – 1
At the commencement of the first half, the R.A.A.F. quickly goaled, showing they were to be a side to be reckoned with. Shortly afterwards, McArthur goaled splendidly for Yallourn and levelled the scores. The
R.A.A/F forwards combined well . and managed to force a second goal.
YALLOURN DRAW WITH SALE
Last Sunday, in muddy conditions, Yallourn were opposed to Sale, at Sale.
Inspired by last week’s win over St. Patrick’s College, Yallourn played exceptionally well, and drew 1-1,
with the strong Sale combination.
At the commencement of the game, Sale were hard into attack, and scored a quick goal. With the pressure on right through the first term, Yallourn held off many attacks, and due to the splendid back-work, particularly by the goalie, P.Griffiths, Sale could not force any more goals.
