NTFL 2022-23: Watch PINT vs Palmerston Magpies Round 10 livestream

PINT overpowered a lacklustre Palmerston outfit at DXC Arena. WATCH THE REPLAY.

PINT was finally rewarded for effort after downing Palmerston at DXC Arena.

After falling short during recent rounds, a four-quarter performance sparked by ruckman Brock Carter, the run and gather of Ethan Penrith and Patrick Doyle together with a rock-solid defence led by Mitchell Lowe, the Green Ants overpowered a lacklustre Palmerston by 47 Points.

The home side jumped out to a four goal to nil opening term and increased that lead at every change finally running out 11.11 (77) to 3.12 (30) victors.

The towering Carter was practically unchallenged in the aerial contests and fed his running players quality Sherrin at every opportunity.

“Over the last two weeks we have really pushed the top two sides and I think it showed tonight we pushed Palmerston but came out on the right side of the scoreboard,” said Carter.

“Our first halves haven’t been all that awesome in the past couple of weeks but tonight we got it right although in that second quarter it didn’t work out too well. But after half time we ran away with it.

“Our back line has been great all season and tonight they stood up again and to hold the opposition to three goals – one late in the last quarter – was a fantastic effort.”

It took the Magpies until the nine-minute mark of the second term before they scored a goal when Baxter Mensch slotted home a six-pointer.

And while Ashton Hams, Mensch, Eric Guthrie and Rhai-Arn Cox got plenty of the footy, delivery into the forward line was wayward allowing the green and gold defenders an easy passage to clear.

Although PINT was also wasteful in front, their mids and forwards dominated the ground ball and opened up more scoring chances.

The normally composed Palmerston back six couldn’t find defensive clearance avenues and the PINT forward pressure proved too much causing countless turnovers which set up scoring openings for the home side.

Score:

PINT 4.4 5.6 7.11 11.11 (77)

In Round 2, PINT powered to a big first half lead but a thrilling Eddie Betts inspired comeback allowed the Magpies to swoop back into the match.

However, as the scores drew level in the fourth quarter the match was called off due to nearby lightning.

Now eight rounds on the two sides meet again with both gunning for the right to prove themselves the better team.

Palmerston sit higher on the table and have enjoyed the better results since that day, and with Eddie Betts and Neville Jetta have the star power.
