AGAINST top team Sandringham, the Scorpions fought valiantly to go down by 30 points on Sunday.
The Scorpions worked hard from the start and were kicking with the assistance of a four-goal wind in the first quarter.
Dylan Phitzner was held his own in the ruck and Nigel Carmody provided the Scorpions with plenty of drive through the midfield.
Justin Sweeney was in good form again, kicking four goals for the day. First-gamer Brad Scalzo also impressed when he came on late in the second quarter.
The Zebras had last use of the wind and used their experience to run over the Scorpions late in the last quarter.
Scores: Sandringham 18.12 120 d Casey Scorpions 13.12.90.
Goals: J. Sweeney 4, K. Matthews 3, B. Scalzo 2, S. Harrison, B. Heenan, B. Fraser, M. Hobbs, 1.
