Toc tackles top three team Original
Taking on a team in the Murray League top three was always going to be a tough ask for Tocumwal’s seniors. We were under no illusion that Nathalia was gaining momentum and were in prime form, but despite this the side were prepared to make a genuine contest of the game. Nathalia got out of the blocks fast with slick movement of the ball and accuracy with their ball delivery into the forward line. The first quarter ended with seven majors to Nathalia and zero to Toc.
Fiery encounter for seniors Original
It was another fiery encounter in the Murray League for Tocumwal on Saturday against the Echuca Eagles. All the boys battled hard in the first quarter coming in two goals down. In the second quarter Echuca kicked away scoring seven goals to none. After the half-time break, Toc dug deep and out scored Echuca five goals to four. The final score saw Echuca finish as convincing winners, but Toc’s endeavour and the improvement of the young Bloods is a massive positive for the club.
Tigers to much for Toc Original
They battled hard again, setting themselves a target to better their earlier season game against Cobram. While this was achieved, the Bloods still came up short against the determined Tigers. Final score: Cobram 23.9 (147) def Tocumwal 9.2 (56). Best: Andrew Dickins, Brock McCabe, Harvey White, Dane Maxwell, Blair Eddy, Tom Barker Goals: Dane Maxwell 4, Mitch Collins Bye 2, Drew Haebich 1, Brock McCabe, Andrew Dickins.

Goals: Mitch Collins Bye 2, Kade Rowe 2, Charles McKenna, Raymond Sutton.
Cats draw Blood at Toc
The two sides have been waiting six rounds to come face-to-face, since Tocumwal’s return to the Murray League. It was a hard fought, competitive game all day with Finley coming out on top. Josh Flight hit some form, kicking most of Tocumwal’s goals. As expected, the game was hot in the clinches. Tocumwal had come to play, but the Cats’ midfield was working hard.
