All of the Jennings, Andrew Vella and Ryan Morrison. Cannons scoring shots in the first half apart from 1 were from skill errors created by pressure from the Cannons. Stingrays Coach Graeme Yeats for two weeks in a row had to work his magic at half time to get a lift from the group, which they responded. The third term was a better quarter for the Stingrays as the team used the ball better going forward, worked harder defensively through the middle and control Cannons for most of the quarter. The wind had picked up dramatically but a slip in concentration in a two minute period allowed the Cannons to score two valu- able goals against the flow. Strong work across the half back line by Robert Hill, Corey Buchan, Ryan Morri- son and Nathan Wright set up numerous counter attack scoring options for the Stingrays with the strong breeze, with Aaron Lees making the most of his opportunities and kicked 3 straight goals. The intensity had lifted and the Stingrays seemed to except the challenge set by Coach Graeme Yeats. At the end of the quarter the mar- gin was 7 points in favour of the Cannons, but the Sting- rays would be defending against the 6-7 goal breeze.
