Castlemaine senior footballers showed plenty of resilience to storm home in the last quarter of their opening round match at Maryborough on Saturday.
Goals had been extremely scarce, and Maryborough – winless all last season – were in the box seat at three-quarter-time.
The Magpies knuckled down, ignored the rain, and finished up winning 4.13 (37) to 3.8 (26).
No wonder the sodden players felt they had good reasons to celebrate.
Now the Magpies have to switch on and be ready for the Gisborne challenge at Camp Reserve this Saturday.
See the Castlemaine Mail on Friday for further details.
