NTFL 2022-23: PINT vs St Mary’s Round 3 livestream

PINT have claimed their slice of NTFL history winning their first ever Men’s Premier League match over the reigning premiers. WATCH THE REPLAY

In a huge slice of NTFL history, a tenacious PINT had all the answers and was rewarded with their first ever NTFL Premier Grade victory when a second half resurgence proved too much for St Marys.

Trailing by two points at half time, the Greenants rallied after the long break and ran out 13.5 (83) to 7.11 (53) victors.

In an energetic opening by both sides, a goal by Saints forward Jackson Calder inside the first minute was countered for PINT by Silver Yousif and then Brayden Taylor.

And for good measure, Mitch Musgrove evened the ledger when he slotted a six-pointer for the green team.

Both defences were on top and scoring was hard to come by in the second until Calder, who was the beneficiary of a PINT indiscretion, booted the first of the term after 10-minutes.

The effervescent Yousif found himself at the drop of the ball and kicked truly, but a highlight was a running snap by PINT small forward Andrew Ciavarella that got the lead back to the home side.

However, a 50m penalty on the siren took Harrison Ling to the goal line and Saints went the long break with a two-point lead.

PINT opened the third full of running and dominated possession but couldn’t break the Saints defensive unit lead by Luke Oborn and Grant Gallus.

But it was Yousif again who settled the Ants when he goaled from a relayed freekick and when Jett Trotter and Kyle Winter-Irving added two more each in quick succession.

The Ants finally had some scoreboard ascendency.

Isaiah Baldock opened the scoring for Saints with a goal early in the last, but Trotter equalised and when Ciavarella snapped truly, the army of PINT supporters sensed a special occasion was about to eventuate.
