THE Euroa reserves journeyed to Kyabram and a number of players, due to various circumstances, were unavailable, meaning the day's game was going to be a huge task.

Numbers were short and we had to rely on some of under 18 players to help fill the team.

From the first bounce it was very apparent that the Kyabram side was well prepared and ready to play.

Euroa tried as hard as they could but were no match for the opposition who were quickly hitting the scoreboard, and this continued on for the four quarters of the game.

We were not able to move the ball into our forward line which resulted in our team scoring only one point for the day.

The team was led by Mitch Penman, Nick Thomson, and Jye Bjorksten, playing his 50th game, who all did their best working hard at the contest and giving other players support.

Zac Williams and Jordon Asquith showed good signs and will improve as the season goes on.

Hopefully we will have some players to come back into the team which will help the side.

Next week we take on the strong Echuca reserves who are always hard to beat.

We have to stick together as a whole group – continue to work hard to improve our game.

Euroa 0-1-1 defeated by Kyabram 29-21-191
