U12C

The U12C had an early start this week due to the twilight game, the 8.30 game didn'tdetertheboysfromplayinganexcitinggameoffootball.Theweatheralso trieditsbesttobringtheskillsofthegamedown,buttheladsroseabovethisas well. We had one stand out player these weeks who has improved out of sight over the summer break, the motivation of footy cards for every goal was a success this week and Mum and Dad may need to take a bank loan to buy the 8 packs that are needed this week. Congratulations Ned Kamphuis. Other best players for this week were Lincoln Sawley, Lukas Vinko, Tom Wright and Will Gannon

Thanks to Millicent for the game and making for an exciting contest, it was a greatgametowatchwithalltheskillsondisplayfrombothteams.

U12A

Round 3 for the U12A's was approached which much anticipation. This current group, due to the Junior league set-up and available player numbers had not come up against a Millicent side for a couple of seasons. The stage was set, our teamwascomingoffthebackofahugeandmuchimprovedeffortagainstWest, it was a Saturday morning game day, the predicted wet weather was holding off and we had almost a full team to select from. The only hiccup before we could get into it was with five minutes to go no Millicent coach and some doubt about howmanyplayerstheyhad!!

Once all that was sorted, they presented with a squad of 15. As our numbers were good and in the spirit of fairness and inclusiveness so all players had time on the field our players helped out Millicent. These players were Henry Montgomery, Levi Jensen, Moonshine Win and Eliza Harvey As recognition of Moonshine and Eliza's contribution playing a half each for Millicent they receivedawardsfromthecoach.

The run of play for the game was very even for pretty much three quarters with neither side having many shots on goal. The defence of both sides was strong with Jake Cary displaying a rock solid full back contribution for the Tigers. In the final quarter he was moved to the forward line with instant results too. We had determination and hard work on display from many players but Kye WrenMitchell and Riley Chapman stood out, making sure the ball continued to be cleared out of the middle and delivered into the forward half Overall the team had multiple contributors with decisions around award allocation being very difficult for the coaches, so in lieu of 18 awards a big congrats by the coach and the first singing of 'We're from Tigerland' by the group seemed like a good substitute.

A great hit out by all players with some really good signs of growth and developmentfortheupcominggamesandseasonahead.

Award winners for round – Jake Cary, Riley Chapman, Kye Wren-Mitchell, Eliza Harvey&MoonshineWin.
