Just a few images from my sojourn back to the ground and Club where I played for 26 years....bit of an overcast and wet day so my camera struggled.
Good to catch up with 3rd generation Downs boy Stop Or I'll Shoot....he seemed to have some excellent shots on the day and is doing a brilliant job documenting the Downs 50th year.
Always feels at home at Argana with so many friends, family and so many great memories.
(Was waiting for Stop Or I Will Shoot's pictures from the game...in the Club rooms on the screen they they looked better than mine. )
Just a quick question....how many pairs of brothers do the Downs have playing at the Senior Club.....there's the Parisi boys, the Andrews boys, the Brennan boys, the Lindsay boys, the Steeds boys ???
Elizabeth Downs ( 2 ) Modbury Vista ( 1 )

The pace and determination of Robbie Winters (aka Williams) caused a few early headaches for the Downs defence.

Peter Carman upends Nathan Day but intimates there was nothing in it....a case of PC not so friendly

Joel Miller beats Ben Aldridge and puts Modbury Vista ahead with a well taken goal.

Rainbow connection.....it's not that easy being green !
Did I mention it was a tad wet ?

....
Vista's keeper does well to keep out a Nathan Day chance.

Did I mention the rain ?
Jason Trimboli celebrates Andrew Lindsay's excellent 25 metre curling strike to give the Downs a 2-1 lead.
The Downs in-hospitality marquee celebrate with Downs players...
And it also rained a bit !
....
Jason Trimboli nearly made it three goals but the ball was judged to have gone out of play
A hard earned 3 points for the Downs makes it 7 from seven... whilst another opportunity fired a little to high.

Mick Fidler after a few seasons with the Fossils wearing the Reserves captain's armband was solid in defence.

Scott Hall wonders how to lift his team whils Sam Parisi shares a joke with Vista's keeper.
The Downs inflict more pain on Vista with another goal.

It must be nearly time ?
Vista players just checking the scoreboard.
Phil Hallard in the Downs goal had a relatively quiet day but the Downs goal was in safe hands ! Oh, and it rained a bit too !
....
More misery for Vista...

Cameron Hawkins ponders the game before venturing forward and taking on Ben McMullen.

Russell Miller made some fine saves to keep the Downs scoreline a little more respectable.

great work again mate, was good seeing you to

Forgot to acknowledge the canteen/Toilet Seats workers that put on a great spread of tucker after the game and all the volunteers behind the bar....these people are the heart and soul of good club.
Even saw 80+ year old club stalwart Mary Stevens carrying a slab of beer to supply the verandah bar
Good also to see the Vista boys in for a drink....always play the game tough and leave everything on the park.
Southern Knights Reserves have Inter away on the weekend.....might head down to Argana for the Downs v Sturt game after !

There have been quite a number of brothers playing at the Downs over the years....I think the very first Downs junior team in 1963 might have included a few...the Goode brothers Tony, Ray and Robert, the Tunbridge brothers Robert "Charlie" and Colin....but I'm not certain about this ?gunther wrote:The lindsays are the poor man's version of the Andrews brothers....allegedly.
