A slow start proved costly for Williamstown CYMS in the Victorian Amateur Football Association men’s premier B competition on Saturday.
Having claimed the points in round one, the CYs were hoping to make it two in a row with victory against Old Trinity.
Neither side kicked a goal in the first quarter, before Old Trinity kicked four goals to one in the second quarter to open up a 25 point lead.
Both teams were wasteful in the first half, with nine and eight points kicked respectively.
The CYs were finally able to hit the scoreboard in the third quarter but Old Trinity was able to outscore them to increase the lead to 30 points.
Old Trinity finished the better of the two sides to come away with a 14.13 (97)-7.13 (55) win.
Harrison Miller kicked three goals for the CYs. Xavier Sneling, Miller and Rohan Diwell were named their best.
In the premier women’s competition, the CYs lost to Caulfield Grammarians.
The Grammarians were able to win each of the first three quarters to set the win up.
It was a closer final quarter on the scoreboard, with one goal each, but the damage had already been done.
The Grammarians won, 11.11 (77)-2.3 (15).
Melina Ciavarella, Jasmine Farrugia and Olivia McGie were named the CYs best.
Both the men’s and women’s sides have this weekend off due to Easter.
The men’s side will face Fitzroy on Anzac Day, while the women’s next match is on April 26 against the Old Yarra Cobras.
