UNDER 16's - Towns V Rover @ Wonthella

What a fantastic start to the season, a win against Rovers – the first for a very long time.
On a beautiful clear and sunny day Zac Middleton and Scott McLeish took the helm for their first game as U16s coaches. I think they were as keen to get started as the players.
Our squad of 20 certainly didn’t waste any time with getting down to business. The first goal was scored about 3 minutes into the quarter and we just kept a steady attack on the goals for all four quarters. The final score – 10 goals 6 behinds 66points to 5 goals 3 behinds 33 points.
The game was fairly evenly matched for the first three quarters but our Bulldogs dug deep in the last quarter and kept Rovers scoreless to come away with the victory.
This was Sadiq ( the goal sneak) Miska’s 50th game for the club – so congratulations and well done for getting on the score sheet.
It was also great to see out three new recruits for this season getting onto the score sheet, so welcome to Wayne Bonney (Wayne did play for us in his early junior years so it is great to have him back) Brandon Collard and Shaquille Gregory – all these players have fitted into the squad really well.
It was also Declan Parsons first goal for the club – well done mate – who says a full back can’t kick. !!!!!!
I asked one of the spectators to select the best on ground this week. I did feel a bit sorry for them by the end of the game because to be quite honest there were 20 players out there giving it their best shot and really that is all we can ask for. Well done to all.

Our next game is at home against Railways Blue at 11am on 09.05.09.

Congratulations Sadiq Miska - 50th Junior game 02.03.09.

UNDER 14's

On Saturday morning, Towns played Northampton at Wonthella in what was most of the boys 1st game with the U14’s.  We have only about 6 players from last years side, with the rest being last years U12’s moving up.  As far as I was concerned, our boys played a terrific game.  We didn’t win, but it was a good first experience for the boys in the “senior version” of the Juniors!  I had the parents look out for outstanding players, and at the end of the game asked them to tell me who they thought was best on ground.  We had 5 players who in particular stood out.  These were:  DANIEL BARNARD, DYLAN WHITBY-TAYLOR, SHARZAH KELLY, TYSON McEWAN AND QUANIE RYDER.  A huge mention must go to Daniel for an excellent game, and in particular, Tyson, who kicked 5 goals!  WOW  what an effort.  We also had a full team which was wonderful, and at last a decent show of supporters.  Thank you to all that came and cheered us on.  Please keep it up throughout the season.
 
Most people by now should know about the “E” point!  This is a system that was introduced last year to the U16’s and trialed with the  14’s.  This point is awarded by both field umpires to the Club whose GOOD BEHAVIOUR does not go unnoticed.  The behavior of both teams, supporters, coaches, managers and basically anyone at footy on the day is checked for the E point.  If there are no Red or Yellow cards handed out, no bad behavior, good team spirit etc., an E point may be awarded to one or both sides.  Today, Northampton handed out a yellow card, which meant they could not receive the  point.  Having said that, Towns had fantastic behavior both on and off field, and we won the “E” point.  This is really special as the more points we collect, the better our chances are at the end of season ladder.  It could make or break our chances at Finals!  So boys, and families, keep up the great behavior, because it didn’t go UNNOTICED!  Final score T 9-4  vs NH 12-13.
 
Thank you kids for being so polite and thank you Alex for “upping the anti” on the coaching skills!   Special mention to Ali and Ian.   Thank you for all your help with the nervous U14’s Team Manager (that would be me!) .   We will have a great team this year.
 
Go Bulldogs!
 
Lisa Bethune - Team Manager.
