Norwood\u2019s U18 season got underway on Wednesday night at Norwood Oval, and despite being well and truly in the fight, poor goal kicking cost the Redlegs in a 30-point loss to North Adelaide.<\/p>\n
Just one point separated the teams at quarter time, and five points at half time, but the wheels fell off in front of goal for the Redlegs in a 1.7 third term, which was enough for the Roosters to take advantage, kicking 4.1 and jump out to an 18-point three quarter time lead.<\/p>\n
North kicked another three goals to one in the final quarter to run out 14.6-90 to 8.12-60 winners.<\/p>\n
The stats also showed it was a tight contest, with North winning disposal +5, marks +11, clearances +4 and inside 50m +3, while Norwood won the tackle count +20 and hitouts +19. Each team had 20 scoring shots, but the Roosters were able to find the goals 14 times, compared to Norwood\u2019s eight.<\/p>\n
Charlie Best had 24 disposals, eight tackles and eight clearances for Norwood, George Serocki 23 disposals and State squad member Kai Ivins 21 disposals, five clearances and a goal.<\/p>\n
Joseph Nak was a big figure in the Redlegs forward line with two goals from seven scoring shots, and five marks, while Oliver Wilkins kicked two goals from his 11 touches.<\/p>\n
Norwood has a bit of a wait until its Round 2 game, which will take place at Elizabeth\u2019s X Convenience Oval, taking on Central District on Friday, March 27. The Redlegs U16 season commences on the same night, from 5pm at the same venue.<\/p>\n
