HISTORY WAS MADE TODAY

In the last 12 years of watching qafl football. I have never seen southport go through a quarter without scoring a point and that is what happened today in the second quarter of their clash against the brisbane lions reserves today at coorparoo. The first quarter was what you would call an arm wrestle with neither team looking all that strong. It was scrappy and and not very entertaining football. With a 1 goal lead and looking like they might run amuck the sharks would have though if we go a handy lead at half time we might run away with this. Gee the opposite happened to them in the second quarter. The lions mids lead by Amon Buchanan and Clay Beams ran rampant over a struggling midfield that couldn't penetrate them. The lions kicked the first 2 goals and there was a bit of a lul in the game and southport moved the ball forward and the hanger nearly taken and in that passage. There was a stoppage and the lions won the ball and kicked their third for the quarter. The lions piled on another 6 goals after that to leave southport and the coaches shell shocked. Matter of fact I think everyone was in shock from what just happened. Everyone was wondering when the last time they went through a quarter without scoring a point. I am sure norm dare gave the chargers a spray at half time and it did work a bit. They kicked the 2 of the first 3 and looked like they were going to make another charge. But Buchanan and Beams took over again and lions and sharks kicked 6 goals each in the third and the lions put the game away to be honest. The lions added another 5 in the last to the sharks 1 and it was an absolute flogging. Beams and Buchanan were the best on the ground by some way. There are question marks over the sharks right now and that is for sure
