Coming up against the ladder leaders in Wauchope a win for the Mustangs was set to be a challenge but as we've seen all year they're always up for the grind.

A win was just out of reach but the effort put forward left many in attendance proud of the side as they battled a man down at one stage.

"We love our Sunday footy, it was an old boys day and I think it was our first old boys day in a few years so it was good to see a few here in their old jumpers," co-coach Ant Cowan said post-game.

"We lost one of our loyal supporters this week and I hope we did him proud."

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Griffen and Holten families and he's going to be missed at the Mustangs for sure."
