MHSOBFC win via forfeit against Old Yarra Cobras

Fresh off a dominant win over UHS-VU, the JnrCorns came into the South Melbourne clash with momentum — but also a clear message: don’t get complacent. The boys hit the track hard during the week, drilling set plays crafted by assistant coach Joseph Pious, and were ready to roar at the familiar Ian Johnson Oval — the scene of our famous first win over AJAX.

It was a sensational weekend to be a JnrCorn, as the boys delivered a commanding win over Preston last weekend—an emphatic 121-point victory that well and truly stamped us as a team to watch this season. With strong numbers on the track during the week and a focus on correcting second-half lapses, the lads came out ready to make a statement—and they did just that.

After last week’s gut-wrenching 7-point loss at the final siren, the JnrCorns had a point to prove. With grading officially wrapped up, Round 5 marked the true start of our 2025 campaign—and the boys made sure to kick things off in dominant fashion.

This week presented a new challenge for the JnrCorns. Travelling to Elsternwick Park to take on a red-hot Old Melburnians side fresh off a 110-point win, our young squad knew they were up against it. Bigger bodies, more cohesion—but none of that fazed the boys. They came to compete.

Round 3 presented a new challenge – and a golden opportunity – for the newly formed Development Squad: a Sunday 11 AM showdown against AJAX, on their turf.

MHSOBFC win via forfiet against Preston Bullants

MHSOBFC was fired up for a clash at Ferndale Park against St Marys Salesian, in which they knew what to expect from the match given the wet and slippery conditions. With this being the first wet weather game of the year, something all involved were looking forward to, the Unicorns were aware that they had to throw everything they had out there in order to give themselves a chance at their first victory of the season. 

After a couple of weeks off, the U20s returned from the heartbreak that occurred before the break and were looking to build on the momentum the team had gained in weeks prior, with many talented players returning to the team for this clash they needed to get acclimated to the rainy weather and prepare themselves for battle.
