Y1 Cheetahs vs Y1 Leopards
Coach: David Horne Manager:

Coaches Comments:

After 2 weeks off, the boys were all raring to go once more as we moved away from pitch 3 for the first time this year, over to pitch 2 to take on The Leopards. A short but heavy shower during training soon cleared to give us some bright sunshine, but slippery conditions on the ground. The boy showed they had not lost any of their cohesion during their 2 week break, nailing the training drills despite some obvious over excitement to be back. We were full strength against a Leopards team missing 2 players this week, Josh, Finn and Mason shared the duties of swapping shirts for a quarter (with Josh taking 2) to even up the numbers, and were all rewarded with team player certificates with a voucher to go to Krispie Kremes for a free donut and shake as a reward. After seeing the Cheetahs controlling the ball for the first quarter, the game settled into a very even contest with players from both side taking every opportunity to show off their developing skills. It was a fantastic game to watch with both sides putting together passages of quick ball movement by hand and demonstrating a strong understanding of what it takes to be good team players.

Best Players:

Josh Horne, Finn O'Grady and Mason Harding were best on ground for their commitment to fair play. Well done boys.
