Leading by just seven points at the final change, Jarrod Cotton’s men put on a confidence-boosting display after what has been a tough month of football. After a tight opening three quarters, Norwood was lucky to only find themselves 10 points down at quarter-time after South proved wasteful in front of goal booting 3.6 for the quarter.
Midfielder Matthew Nunn set the tone for the Redlegs early in the second, after finishing off a lovely piece of work on the run from 40 metres out. The Legs started to gain territory which saw the ball in their forward half for the majority of the term. Nunn was at it again 10 minutes later with another trademark running goal which brought the Norwood faithful into life.
South star Joel Cross responded for the visitors unleashing from 50 to cut the margin back to 13 points. Norwood still had majority of control, however missed targets which didn’t allow them to hit the scoreboard. Fortunately for South after absorbing several Norwood attacks, they found a goal against the run of play courtesy of Liam Fitt.
