Firstly the u16s would like to pass on their condolences to
the Dryden Family for the loss of a wonderful man and a great
example to the youth of today.
Chapman valley very kindly allowed us to move the venue and
the time of this game so that we were able to attend Jim’s
funeral. We thank them for that.
This first game back after the school holiday break is always
an interesting event: it’s always tough to get the guys
focused and back into footy mode. It was even harder this week
with the early start, having so few players available and meeting
the topside.
The 18 players that did turn up put up a gallant effort and
really it was only the inaccuracy in front of the goal was the
telling factor, had some of the points been goals the result
would have been much healthier and much closer.
Jason Bethune kicked a classic in the opening few minutes shocking
CV into action. Sadiq Miska popped the second into the bag in
the second quarter and after that it became a points fest.
Brandon Collard and Greg Cross worked hard in the centre all
day. The forwards worked hard and the feed was good but the
target was hard to find. The Back line battled hard all game
with Tyler, Declan and Sam clearing the area on many occasions.
The difference being CV managed more shots at goal and a few
more found their mark. However they were not entirely accurate
either. The final score: CV 9goals 14 behinds 68 to Towns 2
goals 11 behinds 23.
Thanks to all those players that turned up to play. As the end
of the season approaches and the possibility of finals football
we need to stay focuses and work hard in the next few weeks
to ensure you get the results you deserve.
Next week we meet Railways White which will be another test
but one that I know as a team you are very capable of passing.
See you at training !!!!!!.

to these boys over the past few years. We now have a new Coach,
“Cobber”, who is looking forward to bringing in some changes
and new skills to you boys. All the best Cobber
for our future.
A special thank you must also be put forward to Dongara for arranging
all the umpires today due to a funeral of one of Towns Members.
Most of our club attended the funeral, so we really appreciated the
assistance today.
See you all at training with Cobber on Wednesday. Our next game
is at the Rec against Railways.
Lisa.
