Round 13 was us hosting M i l l i c e n t , w h o a r e currently strong across most grades, testing all our teams, but providing our sponsors some quality footballtowatch.

For the first time for the year, the U14s had the worst of the conditions Coach Roulstone and his Bali crew would have been a bit flat with the weather, but nonetheless they got off to a good start with a very even first half, only to fall away as the game went on. Best players were Sam Baron, James Butler, Ethan Brook, Charlie Wurst and CodyBlanck.

Not sure what the U16s did Friday night, but their 1st quarter cost them the game after outscoring Millicent for the rest of the game. Not sure they boys can make finals now, which is a shame given the talent they have. Here’s hoping theycanseeouttheseason with a few wins for coach Zeitz, and themselves. Award winners were Aaron Dally, Ben Braithwaite, Chad McLaughlin, Cooper TurnerandSavCrispino.

U16s were competitive most of the game but a lapse in the 3rd not

There is no doubt that the tightest team we have is the U18s and there performances reflect same. They were fairly ordinary in the 1st quarter, but whatever coach Bryan said, got them going. We are excited to see how far these boys can go. Best players were named Jonty Collins, Trae Hamilton, Cooper Turner, Darcy Bryan, Zach Nulty and RichardKinyabugma.

Nothing much changes week to week with the reserves, apart from the players, but this week we did manage a goal kicker! Well done Zayne and thanks to him and his U18 mates for helping out Awards were given to Tim Young, Zayne Young, Tyler Horrigan, Michael Blanck, AlexHuttonandZachClark. Please support the social functions and the coming events,asfollows;

The senior inaccuracy early left too little time to put Millicent under too much pressure, despite getting within a couple of goals in the last quarter No games in the WBFL look easy this time of the year and the boysneedtogetsomeform and momentum going as we head towards finals. With an injury to our ruckman at the first bounce, it was again left to Sam Stafford to shoulder the ruck duties, which while got him best player, left us wanting in the forward line. Other best players were Sam Egan, Aaron Dally, Sam Zeitz and CamOrtlepp.

This week we are off to the kennel, with all teams needing a win. Let’s all get theretocheerthemalong.
