UNDER 16's - Towns v Railways

On a day that saw all four seasons weather wise and very few goals we secured our seventh victory for the season.
The final score was 5 goals 8 behinds to Towns and 1 goal 4 behinds to Railways Blue. The score line would make you think there was not much to see but it actually was an entertaining game. A tussle of ball control and determination saw our Bulldogs pull off another win.
Goal scores were two each to Graham Adams and Shaquille Gregory and one to Jason Bethune. There may not have been many scored but they were all excellent goals in difficult conditions.
Best on ground performance from William Thorne who worked really hard around the centre of the ground all day. Shaquille Gregory(with his own shorts this week) seemed to be everywhere and his two goals were a pleasure to see watch fly over the head of the goal umpire. Other players who warrant a mention this week were Sadiq Miska, Josh Clark and Chris McCarthy who worked really hard all match.
This was not one of our biggest wins but it was a well deserved one: this week has not been the easiest for the players but they all knuckled down and worked well and right through the game to earn themselves the win.
Well done to all players you can be proud of yourselves. You did really well.
The school holidays mean that we have no games for three weeks. Our next match will be against Chapman Valley who have earned themselves top stop on the ladder to date. This will be our benchmark…lets give them a run for their money guys and show them just how good you are.
Zac and Scott are still wanting everybody to train on Wednesday over the holidays. If you are away or can’t make it please let them know.


FINAL SCORES
Towns 5.8.44 def Railways 1.4.10

UNDER 14's TOWNS vs.VALLEY

A rather disappointing game today fellas with only a few of you actually putting in the effort.  Most of you looked like you were half asleep.  Boys you need to man up much more and call for the ball.  This just wasn’t happening and you cannot expect good results when you play this way.
 
Jayden Mitchell put in a good effort today and stood out as one of our better players.  Jake Hickey also played a better game today and got back into the pack.  “Welcome back Jake”. …and as usual, Daniel Barnard was there to pick up the slack.  You kids are relying on Daniel way too much and he cannot carry you all on his own.  He needs to have people there to pass or kick to.  C’mon Boys, help each other out.
 
Our goal scorers today were Adam Bethune and Jayden Mitchell.  Good work boys.
 
This is probably the first time I haven’t been positive about writing my match report.  Even when we have had tough games and don’t win, I always try to keep on encouraging you kids and letting you know that things will get better.  – Boys things will get better, but you have to be on your game.  So chins up! And maybe our next game, which will be in Dongara after the holidays, we may do better.
 
Thank you to Kayne and Ben from the League for helping me out today with Boundary and Field umpires.  I don’t know why we can’t get the support from our families to help out with these jobs, but want you to know that when you do show up, it is really really really appreciated.  League boys need to let me know on Fridays training that I have their help for the following game.   I must have at least 2 helpers, preferably 3,  at every game please.
 
Thanks to Ian for running for us, and Declan for starting out on the Boundary, and Alex for organizing a water boy.
 
U14 Boys, you need to come to trainings.  And more importantly to our games.  We only had 19 there today.  We have a team of 29.  Where are you all??????? Let Lisa know when you can’t make it……and using the excuse of “I slept in” or “I couldn’t get there” is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!  If you want to play footy, then make sure you are at the games on time or call to organize a lift.
 
Training will definitely be on this Wednesday and Friday (unless it is absolutely pouring down with rain).  Otherwise, we expect to see ALL OF YOU THERE.   Then after that, our next training will be on the first Wednesday after the school holidays.
