■ Alexandra travelled to Warburton last Saturday for Round 2 of the Outer East League2024 Division 1 season. The Reserves took to the field after the women’s football game between Warburton and Officer. The Burras, Premiers for the last couple of years, showed their experience and polish as they added to the scoreboard each quarter but the Rebels never gave in and worked hard to the final siren, Alexandra 4.6 (30) to Warburton 19.15 (129). Awards: Shepparton Volkswagen – Harry Reed, Ampol fuel card – Luke Wal, Alexandra Hotel – Tom McKinlay, Buxton Hotel – Nate Kerle, Sportspower – Josh Crane. The Seniors welcomed Angus Smith to replace the injured Steve Steiner, the Rebels starting with five goals to one going uphill in the first quarter before adding four goals to three in the second quarter. The match was physical after some close contests including the Second Semi Final last year, the Rebels adding three goals to one in the third quarter before repeating that in the last quarter, the game halting half way through the quarter after an incident that left Lucas O’Sullivan motionless on the ground. Play was stopped and did not resume as Lucas remained on the ground receiving medical attention awaiting an ambulance, the game called off and the scores at the time being the final scores, Alexandra 15.12 (102) to Warburton 6.5 (41).
