His credentials: - 293 AFL Games for Geelong and The Giants 516 Goals 3 x Premiership Player 1 x Norm Smith Medalist 3 x All Australian There were far more people than normal positioning themselves behind the boundary line and taking in the action. Having a drawcard of Johnson’s calibre pulled the punters in to Weldon Oval. They watched two sides full of desperation searching for the spark that would restore their form in a tightly contested opening quarter. It was a dour opening, with two goals apiece in the first quarter. As the teams went into their quarter time huddles, the Bats were clinging to a narrow two-point lead. In the end, the margin was 59 points. Steven Johnson’s guest appearance was a triumph as he finished with five goals. Reuben Laws kept the dream alive with four goals, and along with Lachlan Behagg and Aidan Butler was among the Wolves’ best. While Stevie J signed the autographs and posed for selfies after the match, his cameo in maroon and white delivered plenty of canteen takings, and delivered a confidence and momentum boost for the Wolves. There’s a long way to go to get back within striking distance of the top five, but just maybe the Wolves have taken the first step. Match Outcome: Manly Warringah – 15.16 (106) UTS AFC – 6.11 (47) Manly Warringah Goals – S Johnson 5, R Laws 4, C D’Souza 2, J Field 2, C Wilson, L Behagg UTS AFC Goals – J Harrison 3, J Watson, T McKenzie, T Garvey Be part of something bigger Call us on 9939 6744 or visit the Branch at 20 Albert Street Freshwater 4 | Page Freshwater News Surf and Community ___________________________________________________________________________ Freshwater Surf Life Saving Club Barney Mullins annual swim at Freshwater Surf Life Saving Club.
