Well done to all on a successful season!!!

Junior footy weekend wrap up…

Another chilly start to the day but cup competitions continued for the 9th grade & 11th grade while our final footballers fielded 2 teams today!

Fun Football
Fun footballers split into two teams today with a goal for each team being scored by Finn and Arthur. Some challenging games but by the end the teams were doing a good job of trying to position themselves for the ball and were defending well.
Players of the day were Greer and Lorelai.

9th Grade
Tough one this morning against Old Boys. Everyone had some moments of brilliance with defending or passes but, like what one of the parents said, we just looked fatigued. Cyraul had a great opening goal but it just wasn’t enough to lift the team. We didn’t play poorly and OB didn’t play exceptionally well it was just one of those games I guess. A good learning experience for the team (hopefully).
Player of the match went to Jacob who was the energiser bunny of the team today, he probably covered more ground than the team combined and so very close to scoring also! Chalk this one up so we can move on and I look forward to finishing the season on a high👍

11th Grade
Road trip this morning for our cup game against Winton. After a close defeat earlier in the season we were super keen to reverse the result. We were down by a goal heading into half time with a nice tap in by Leo.
Full of enthusiasm & a revised game plan for the second half, both teams peppering the goal, a power shot from Leo that the keeper just managed to tip over the crossbar and awesome game from Charlie owning the back line meant the score remained unchanged at full time.
Player of the day today went to Ryan for awesome listening and taking on board the pre-game & half time advice and a couple shots the second half!
