The Mens 5s have had problems with numbers all season, and this round was no different.
Facing an OHA team who had won 3 on the trot and are threatening to take top spot on the ladder, they were in for a battle.
While Monash had just 8 players ready to take the field, the first half began as an even battle and both teams threatened to score early.
However a nasty blow to the head to Dustin Haines was a dent in both skull and ability to win the game, as he left the field due to the blood rule.
Playing with just 7, Monash continued to fight out the game.
Lachie Eaton was huge in goals, making numerous saves to keep them in it, while Ethan Erdeljac made many last-line tackles to repel OHA attack.
Venn King was also handy in defence, while Simon Laffan kept the opposition honours with some pacy run down the wing.
Unfortunately it wasnβt enough to keep OHA at bay, and the boys went down 0-3
