Spears cut through the Heat<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n TEAM SPEARS sliced through the local contingent with their precise possession play in a convincing 53-point win to end All-Star Saturday. The squad of talented imports burst open the floodgates after an inaccurate first term, piling on 16 goals to five over the next two quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spears captain and Waratah midfielder Cody Szust<\/strong> was named best on ground, booting four goals alongside Boyd Bailey<\/strong> and Archie Stevens<\/a>.\u00a0Southern Districts’ Beau Schwarze <\/strong>(three goals) was the best in defeat for Team Heat, whose speed and counterattacking style was quelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HEAT 0.4 | 2.7 | 5.8 | 10.13 (73)<\/strong> GOALS:<\/strong> BEST:<\/strong> BOG:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Heat complete final quarter comeback<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n TEAM Heat ensured the local fans had something to cheer about in the senior showcase after producing a stunning final quarter comeback. Having trailed all day against a Spears side which hardly strayed in front of goal, the Heat stormed home with three unanswered majors to snatch the two-point win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nightcliff pair Gracie Roy <\/strong>(Heat) and Gabby Deller<\/a> (Spears) were best afield for either side. The Spears initially kicked clear with two goals each from Shannon Murphy<\/a>, Fleur Davies<\/a>, and Zimmorlei Farquharson<\/a>, but the Heat’s six individual goalkickers teamed up to deliver a scintillating finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HEAT 1.1 | 2.4 | 4.4 | 7.6 (48)<\/strong> GOALS:<\/strong> BEST:<\/strong> BOG:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Smiler stars as Spears quell Heat<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n SONNY Smiler<\/a> lit up the Futures boys exhibition with five goals to help set up Team Spears’ 60-point thumping of the Heat. While Team Heat stayed on track with seven-straight goals, the Spears’ weight of 27 scoring shots took toll, especially after half time to deliver a one-sided result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smiler was joined on the scoresheet by Owen Campbell-Shields<\/strong> (three goals) and Hugo Timms<\/a> (two), while Riley Seden-Kurnoth<\/strong> was prominent. The Heat’s effort was led by Oakleigh Chargers prospect Gary Lawford<\/a>, who had support from Hau-Tze Rock<\/a> and Edward Darcy<\/a>‘s three goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HEAT 2.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 | 7.0 (42)<\/strong> GOALS:<\/strong> BEST:<\/strong> BOG:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Spears salute to start the show<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n THE FUTURE of Northern Territory women’s football kicked off All-Star Saturday, with Team Spears storming home to a 21-point win. The victors led at every break but held onto a four-point buffer at the main and final breaks, before slamming on four goals to one in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Claira Johnston<\/strong> (five goals) and Amy Ward <\/strong>(two) dealt the scoreboard damage as Amber Quinn<\/strong> was named best on ground for the Spears. Taniesha John-Forrest<\/strong> was the Heat\u2019s standout, while Chanelle Fejo<\/strong> and Akia-Marie Lake<\/a> snared two goals apiece in the defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HEAT 1.0 | 4.1 | 6.1 | 7.3 (45)<\/strong> GOALS:<\/strong> BEST:<\/strong> BOG:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Cody-Szust-Team-Spears-2026-NTFL-All-Stars-1024x656.jpg\")
