Talbot take commanding win over Navarre
Talbot have continued on their winning way after defeating Navarre by 69 points on Saturday.
There was only 17 points in it at half time as it was a very competitive contest until the main break.
But it was one way traffic after half time as Navarre could only manage one goal in the second half while Talbot kicked eight goals.
Dean Limback showed why he is the MCDFNL leading goal kicker when he slotted the first two goals of the game inside the three-minute mark. Jarrod Stephens followed with another, and the Hawks were leading three goals to nil, just five minutes into the game.
Balranald recruit, Jarryd Stead, slotted a couple of goals for Navarre as they mounted a challenge, but youngster Zac Ciccini got the Hawks back on track with his only goal for the game.
Navarre had a good second term and got back within one point when Leetyn McKenzie goaled late, but the Hawks kicked three goals in the time-on period to lead by seventeen points at the main break.
Leetyn McKenzie kicked the opening goal in the second half for Navarre just one minute into the third quarter, but from that point Talbot dominated on the scoreboard to win very comfortably. They remain undefeated as they look ahead to their game against another undefeated team in Carisbrook next week.
Talbot named their better players as Charles Aitken, Jayson Atkins, Jude McGuire, Jayden Hind, Dean Limbach, and Rhys Egan.
Navarre named Riley Bibby, Ollie Notting, Zac Varley, Sam Rickard, Will Marshman, and Wil Clough.
