Round 7 AAMI Talent League Boys U16 Match Wraps

By TOM WYMAN

Central District secured its second win in a row with a 15-point victory over Sturt at Thomas Farms Oval in Round 7 of the AAMI Talent League U16 Boys.

The Bulldogs led at every change, although never by more than 12 points, but did enough to secure an important win away from home.

Central ball-magnet Logan Treverton stood up again with 34 disposals, seven clearances and nine inside-50s, while teammates Braith Hickey and Perry Sibbick both finished with 22 disposals and a goal.

Sturt on-ballers Jacob Westley (25 disposals and five clearances) and Max McGowan (18 disposals and six tackles) fought hard and Jesse Nunan (24 disposals and six rebound-50s) impressed in defence.

South Adelaide returned to the winners list with a 32-point victory over North Adelaide at Revo Fitness Oval.

Led by a four-goal haul from gun forward Fergus Vogt, the Panthers took a handy 22-point lead into the quarter-time break and never gave the Roosters a sniff from then on.

Reliable duo Liam Bell (29 disposals and six rebound-50s) and Darcy Campbell-Kearney (24 disposals, seven clearances and a goal) stood tall for South once again.

Demario Miller was North’s best, gathering 23 disposals and three goals, with midfielders Kade Clark (26 disposals and seven clearances) and Silas Torney (18 disposals and five inside-50s) also among the leading possession-getters.

An extraordinary display from Glenelg’s Ryder Lindner helped the Tigers smash Woodville-West Torrens by 90 points at Stratarama Stadium.

Lindner filled the stats sheet, finishing with a staggering 40 disposals, nine marks, eight clearances and six goals as the Bays continued their unbeaten start to the season.

Zane Rooney (35 disposals, 14 inside-50s and eight clearances) and Harrison Webb (32 disposals and a goal) also had a big say on proceedings for the hosts.

On a disappointing day for the winless Eagles, Jai Sagar (19 disposals and 10 rebound-50s), Hunter Mumford (17 disposals) and Lachlan Macaitis (12 disposals and 10 rebound-50s) were among the better performers.

A dominant first half helped West Adelaide upset Norwood by 54 points at The Parade.

The Bloods started the game on fire by booting four goals within the first eight minutes, including two to Lucas Piggott, setting the platform for a comfortable victory.

West midfielder Samuel DePalma (32 disposals and 13 inside-50s) continued his impressive season while teammates Hayden Brown (22 disposals and three goals) and Naman Mittal (27 disposals and 11 clearances) found plenty of the ball.

Norwood managed to even up the contest after half-time, with Kalani Fraser (30 disposals and 11 marks), Zephyr Thomson (23 disposals and two goals) and Patrick Boehm (22 disposals and a goal) among the Redlegs’ best.
