With the weather gods smiling again, Woori Yallock travelled to Mt Evelyn on Saturday 18 May.
The week started well with the Senior Women’s football team continuing their impressive start to the year on Friday night with another strong performance against Seville to remain undefeated on third of the way through the season.
Final score Seville 1.1 7 to Woori Yallock 5.3, 33. Top Tigers were Sky Wilson, Emily Spicer, Emelia Robin, Piper Crymble, Jessica Lee and Isla Schroder.
The Under 18s started slowly against strong opposition but slowly turned the game and ended with a nerve-wracking draw. Coach Scotty was spot on after the game telling his fellas that we will learn heaps from that game.
Final score Mt Evelyn 5.9 39 to Woori Yallock 5.9, 39. Top Tigers were Tyler Ormsby, Gabriel Conboy, Lewis Player, Mason O’Neill and Jake Dare.
The Ressies took a small step forward again with a solid performance, the boys are certainly keeping themselves in games now and keeping the scoreboard ticking. Whilst Mt Evelyn kicked away in the last five minutes, it was another good performance.
Final score Mt Evelyn 10.5, 65 to Woori Yallock 7.6, 48. Top Tigers were Pierce Jenkin, Ryley Dare, Thomas Rogers, Caleb Lee, Matthew Cliff and Tom Kear.
With the netballers up against a strong netball program, the teams had mixed results with the under-17s getting their first win for the year, whilst the D Grade side got the win too. It was a tough start to the day for the U15s, while the B and A grade teams put up strong performances.

In the Senior Men’s football, Woori Yallock came up against an undermanned Mt Evelyn.
While the first quarter was a bit of an arm wrestle, Woori had the upper hand at the break. A stunning start to the second from the midfield got the team moving and got the separation on the scoreboard. A pleasing four-quarter performance with no injuries leaves the senior team in the top spot at the one-third mark of the season.
Final scores Mt Evelyn 5.6, 36 to Woori Yallock 17. 18, 120. Top Tigers were Kynan French, Jacob Aitchison, Bradd Arnold, Jordan Williams, Jason Lindgren and Zach Monkhorst.
This week, Woori Yallock travels to Monbulk who have had a couple of strong weeks in the footy and a consistent netball program and supporters are encouraged to make the effort to get over and support the teams.
