Under 9s lead the Charge

Our under 9’s were raring and ready to go. Another ripper day out on the track and the kids just loved being out there playing with their mates. A well fought game with everyone having fun.

Jemima, Jimmy, and Harry displayed commendable skill and spirit, reminding us that age is no barrier to greatness.

Under the leadership of this round’s captain, Albie, our under 10s launched into battle with determination etched on their faces. In a fiercely contested match against a formidable opponent, Maxi, William, and Archie distinguished themselves with performances worthy of admiration and applause.

Under 12s: Resilience in Defeat

The under 12s faced a formidable challenge against a strong team, resulting in a hard-fought defeat. Despite the scoreboard not swinging in our favor, the team showcased unwavering resilience and a collective effort that spoke volumes about their character.

Ej’s Extraordinary Effort

Amidst the battle, Ej emerged as a standout player, not only for his innate talent but for the little extras he brought to the game. From relentless tackles to selfless acts that brought teammates into play, Ej exemplified the essence of teamwork and sportsmanship.

Isaac’s Strategic Brilliance

Isaac Manley, though reluctant to play up back displayed strategic brilliance that belied his years. His keen reading of the play and adept link-ups kept the ball moving forward, demonstrating a maturity we are looking forward to blossoming.
