00:28 Hayden, how does that one feel?
00:30 That's brilliant. That's a long time coming.
00:34 And that's an undefeated season for you guys, makes it even more special, hey?
00:38 It does, it does. It's just desserts for the work that we put in during the season.
00:44 That's a brilliant game of footy.
00:47 Yeah, listen, you're dead right there. It was an exciting game of football which makes the win even more sweet, I would imagine.
00:53 Yeah, brilliant. Yeah, like, Tamworth, they're a quality side like this. 22 fellas that are just going to go on every day all day.
01:00 And they did. To our credit, we got a couple of goal lead and were able to hang on to it the rest of the game.
01:06 Yeah, it was a close game for most of the match, but it always seemed like you guys were in control. Is that how you felt?
01:13 No, no. At times it was a lot of momentum swings.
01:17 Yep.
01:18 I'm just really proud of the boys that we were able to swing it back in our favour, and other times we're not.
01:22 And finally, what does this win mean for you guys?
01:26 It's a huge morale booster for the group. Most of the guys are under 22, under 23, so they've got the belief in themselves now that they can go on to future seasons.
