VRound15sawusplayourlasthome game for all teams, v Casterton Sandford, noting we are hosting the1stseminextweek.
Some early morning rain and a full days play saw Vansittart Park turn frompristineconditionsintoamud heap, the likes we haven’t seen for quite a few years. Most players were happy to hear we wouldn’t trainontheovalduringtheweek!
The U14s kicked off proceedings with a big win. Well done to the catsforfrontingupeachweek,with limited numbers and size, and to ourplayerswhodonnedthemighty Geelong colours to help them out. Our best players were , Esaie Kulimushi, Sam Baron, Cooper Harris, Penny Coleman, Charles WatersandJamesButler
Fair to say the U16s have had a rough year, and this continued, with the cats being far too strong. Hopefully the boys can stick together over the summer and come back bigger and stronger Awards we given to Cooper Turner, Ben Braithwaite, Chad McLaughlin, AaronDallyandJettDavis.
The reserves started well but then had plenty go against them, including losing Tyler Harris to an ankle injury, which hopefully is not as bad as it looked. On one leg, coach Young was a multiple goal scorer (a rarity in the ressies this year). Best were named Brayden
Dethmore, Lachlan Tillett and BrodyAllison.
The cats had plenty to play for in the seniors, but we got off to a hot start, only for them to get back into thegameinthe2ndhalftogiveusa scare. A timely reminder that 4 quartersoffootywillberequiredto progress in the finals Our reluctant ruckman Sam Stafford wasagaininthebest,togetherwith our youngest player, Mackye Baron, and others including Jake Schutz, Aaron Dally, Cam Ortlepp andBrettShepherdson.
Today we venture to Millicent and with dead rubbers in most games we will be concentrating on either finishing off the year well and/or preparingforfinals.
With it being some teams last games, get back to the club for the awardsandtea.
