U23s DOWN TO OGGERS

Wayward kicking didn't help as the Red 'n' Blacks dropped their first-ever game.

Old Geelong won the contest at Stradbroke Park in the first three terms, during which the Xavs could only manage one major. Four goals in the last was a better return for the home team, but the Hoops added three themselves to stash the points.

After 21 games without a loss, and a talented team on the park, no pundit would have predicted this. Still, nothing can be taken for granted and the 23s will likely rebound strongly after this disappointment.

Goal Kickers: W. Honan 2, E. Ralph, C. Whitehead, L. Agnoletto
Best Players: M. Lowe, E. Ralph, O. Smart, M. Speakman, W. Honan
