They lead 2.0 to 0.0 but probably could have had better reward for their efforts, as Norwood pegged that back pretty quickly.
There was a bit of spite in the game, personally I didn't feel it was as dramatic as some, just two teams that don't like each other, wanting to win.
The 2nd quarter was the most pivotal with Norwood scoring 5 goals to the Dogs none.
Both sets of supporters will feel aggrieved about the umpiring .. Often when the whistle blew both sets of supporters would remain tight lipped because they genuinely didn't know which way a decision was going to go.
Both teams missed some goals they shouldn't have and in the end I think Norwood were just that bit more efficient than their opponent.
Fair summary.
