U12s
Healesville 12.3.75 d Seville 0.2.2
The U12s had their first taste of wintry football, with cold and wet conditions greeting them at Seville.
The team burst out of the gates in the first quarter, though, and put five goals on the board with some quick, flowing football and tough tackling.
Terms 3 and 4 were a bit more of an arm wrestle as the weather set in and Seville increased its effort.
However, the Bloods dominated the last quarter, with plenty of run and opportunities to score, and completed a solid win.
There’s plenty of improvement to come from this group, but their effort to date has been first-rate.
Goals: F. Lever 3, J. Garvey, J. Howie, S. Gebert, H. O’Brien 2, A. Daykin
Awards: K. Creek, S. Gebert, L. Goodwin
U11s
Mount Evelyn 8.8(56) d Healesville 1.0(6)
A tough opponent for the first game of the season.
The final scoreline didn’t reflect the effort that the boys put in; they fought out the game to the end.
It was pleasing to see the effort put in by all players in the one-percenters during the game in trying conditions.
Goals: J. Drummond
Awards: J. Drummond, A. Briggs, M. Skeene, P. Houlihan, L. Hyde
U9s
Great first game in wet conditions.
The Under 9s played the team plan well, with long straight kicks towards goal.
The game demonstrated great teamwork and we also shared some players with the other team who were short on numbers.
Goals: C. Smith-Cooney 2, R. Brendish, F. O’Brien, K. Land, B. Rutley
Awards: R. Brendish, F. O’Brien, C. Smith-Cooney
