Old Trinity held a slender lead at every break before kicking three goals to one in the final term, running out 12.8 (80) to 8.14 (62) winners at Princes Park over Old Haileyburians.  Having Alex Emery, who missed the start of last year with an ankle injury, and Christos Manoussakis fit to start the season has done the world of good for the Trinity midfield – Emery kicked three goals and was named as one of Trinity’s best.

Coach Donald McDonald lauded the performances of Ed Weatherson and Hugo McGlashan, while Dom Payman (two goals) provided a strong target but has kept a lid on expectations. “The result could’ve really gone either way,” McDonald said.  Old Haileyburians coach Daniel Ward was impressed with a pair of debutants for his side, wingman Noah Higgins and defender Lachie Vaughan, while skipper Brede Seccull held court in the centre and hit the scoreboard.  Ward says his side needs to tidy up its structure and ball use in order to give the forwards more opportunity. “(Trinity) was just a little bit cleaner with the ball in hand,” said Ward on Monday morning.
