Conor Evans for New South Wales

Post by ballymanabroad »

The All Australian football state championships are on in Perth at the moment and I was reading this piece when who should pop up other than our own full back in waiting, Conor Evans.



In one of the closer and more unpredictable games of the championships so far, Victoria pulled off a win against the defending champions New South Wales in the final seniors match for the day.

In an even and low-scoring first half, New South Wales gained a slight edge to post a narrow 0-4 (4) to 0-2 (2) lead by half time.

No points were scored in the second half until 10 minutes in, when Victoria’s Joe Kelly punched in a goal to give his side a one-point lead.

New South Wales soon responded with an over to bring the scores level.

However, when the Victorians had a player sent off midway through the half, New South Wales were unable to capitalise on the advantage as the Victorians continued to pressure the goal area.

Mick Finn of Victoria was impressive with his dominance in the midfield, while Conor Evans and Martin McGearty performed well for New South Wales, with McGearty kicking three overs for the match and Barry Devine two.

Eoin Quinn also continued his good form, contributing a penalty goal to give his side a 2-2 (8) to 0-5 (5) lead.

The Victorians only conceded one more point in the match to take the win with a final score of 2-2 (8) 0-6 (6).
