We traveled down to Rye on the weekend in what was a largely unproductive day for the boys and gals. The unders got the day off to a flying start with a handy 150 point win! Not a bad effort at all, however a tougher match up next game. Special mention to Braden who kicked 12...Best: B. Money, J. Mold, M. La Fontaine, J. Dowling, J. McKinnon, L. Nickels Goals: B. Money 12, D. Neal 3, L. Nickels 3, M. La Fontaine 2, J. Mold 2, J.Dowling , C. Davis , J. McKinnon , L. Brown. The ressies wereon a bit of high after beating Dromana the week before but couldn'tsustain it despite a handy lead at three quarter time.

McCall , J. Hitchiner , A. Tuck , S. Ramsay , A. Mock. The seniors werethe real highlight from an impartial view with a fast pace, changingscoreline and lots of contested ball however from a Red Hillperspective it was heartbreaking. After being six goals up at Half-timeand a goal up with two minutes on the clock Red Hill faltered to a 6point loss. A bit more consistent effort will ensure that games thatwere ours aren't lost again. Special mention to Phil Webster making his debut Best M. Dal Lago, K. Hitchiner, M. Burns, B. Maguinness, M.

We welcomed the old foe Dromana up the Hill on Saturday alongside the ladies and girls of the club and wasn't it glourious. The unders playedsome pretty good football but trailed most of their game but ran out 5point winners in the last quater despite some dubious free kickdecisions. A bit more consistency is needed to challange the top 3. Best: M. Mock, J. Pivetta, J. Dowling, C. Gillies, B. Williams, R. Shaw Goals: D. Neal 2, J. Mold 2, B. Money , J. Mitchell , L. Kelly , L. Brow. The reserves wereeager to say the least to get the wood over Dromana after someembarrasing and close games over the last fews years and to beat a sidethat has dominated the reserves comp over the last 4 years. They did itin a inaccurate but convincing fashion and won in a close one. Speacial mention to Jonesy who kicked 0.8... Best: P. Webster, A. Holmes, A. Mock, R. Jones, L. Harris, M holmes Goals: A. Mock 3, N. Esipoff 2, D. Jones 2, S. Ramsa. Now to the highlight of the day where the seniorsreturned the Bluey Holmes shield to grace our walls again. In a closecontest all day Dromana early in the last quater kicked away to a 25point lead, however with applaudible determination and pressure RedHill stormed home kicking infront in the last 3 minutes through JakeMitchel. A great effort against a quality side. Special mention to Matty Tardiff making his debut Best: M. Dal Lago, H. Larwill, A. Gilmour, J. Mitchell, K. Hitchiner Goals: M. Burns 4, M. Bateman 3, M. Dal Lago 2, K. Hitchiner 2, B. Maguinness , P. Dal Lago , A. Gilmour , J. Mitchell.

Pivetta, L. Nickels Goals: M. La Fontaine 4, D. Neal 4, B. Money 4, C. Carson 2, J. Mold , R.Cooper , C. Davis. The Ressieswere slow at of the blocks and wasteful in front of goal but came away20 point winners despite 10 more scoring shots. Time to put the slowstarts away boys. Best: P. Webster, L. Harris, S. Dangerfield,A. Mock, D. Ritchie, M. Holmes Goals: A. Mock 3, J. Hitchiner 3, N.Esipoff , H. Byrt , B. Schreuder , B.Martin. The seniors werehigh on confidence coming off two consecutive wins to start the season.However despite more than matching the much more experienced Rosebudoutfit all day innaccuracy early in the game and in key moments trulycost them the game not lack of endeavour or ability. Nail those easygoals and the wins will come again against the arch rival Dromana thisweekend. Best: P. Dal Lago, J. Mold, M. Dal Lago, B. Morrison, B. Maguinness Goals: M. Burns 3, K. Hopgood 2, S. Holmes , F. Backhausen 24th of April - Round 3 Vs Crib Point (Home) including Sponsors/Life Members Luncheon and ANZAC Day ceremony
Saturday saw Red Hill host Crib Point and come away with 3 wins out of 5. The under 18s wentin determined after a poor showing the week before and won easily by70+ despite kicking 11.25 and Cribby only kick two goals at the deathof the last quater! Keep up the good work lads just a bit straighter. Best: L. Nickels, J. McKinnon, M. La Fontaine, J. Dowling, D. Neal, J. Mold Goals: B. Duff 3, B. Money 2, L. Nickels , M. La Fontaine , J. Lowther , D. Neal , J. Mold , J. McKinnon. The magoosalso ran out determined after a poor showing the week before and sent adecent message to the tune of 112(crib kicked one in the last 2 minutesof the fourth). Looks like the hiccups out of the way now time toconsolidate for the rest of the year. Best: R. Jones, H. Kellett, M. Tardif, L. Doyle, D. Jones, A. Mock Goals:A. Mock 4, H. Byrt 3, M. Tardif 3, R. Jones 3, N. Esipoff , M. Backhausen , D. Jones , B. Martin , J. Hitchiner. The seniors didn'texactly play that well and sent a few nervous mutters through thecrowds in the last quater but they fought it out and came out on top ina game that in past seasons they would have lost. Congrats on thefighting effort, but consistency doesnt come in two games. Take it toRosebud this weekend. Best: T. Gibson, M. Shaw, A. Gilmour, J. Mold, M. Dal Lago Goals: S. Holmes 4, M.

7th of April - First game for 2010 (Round 2) Vs Sommerville "A Great Start To The Year" Wetravelled to Mount Eliza, due to Sommerville's ground beingunavailable because of resurfacing, to play the Eagles for our firstgame of the year. Unfortunately, the day started on a disappointingnote with both the Under 18s and Reserves havingheavy losses. More determination, team work and attack at the ball andcontest is needed next week, which were all sure the boys will show.However, on a positive note the Seniors showed realgrit and character in holding on to win their first outing of theyear. A positive note was the quality of the opposition that the boysbeat, with Sommerville tipped to be involved at the pointy end of theseason after some impressive recruiting in the off-season. It was atough contest in which Red Hill jumped out of the blocks and lead by 8goals at half time. It was not smooth sailing after this withSommerville throwing everything at Red Hill in the second half. Despitemany players being hampered by cramping, to the boys credit they heldon for a gutsy and hard fought win. The important thing now is tostring a couple of wins together and consistently produce performancessimilar to this. Go Hillmen and bring on Crib Point. Best: P. Dal Lago, C. Spencer, H. Larwill, M. Burns, J. Mold Goals: S. Holmes 3, K. Hitchiner 2, C. Spencer 2, F. Backhausen , M. Burns , K. Hopgood , J. Mold , S. Hickey. 6th of April-Social calender released and membership info available
