THIS WEEK'S UPDATE
With 9 rounds now completed it is starting
to hit home that there is only 6 rounds to go (9 if your team is lucky
enough to go all the way this year). The winter solstice has come
& gone but the cold weather is definitely still with us, so take
care out there especially on the roads.
As much as we all enjoy winning, wasn't it awesome to see the girls
youth team hold Wallan to only 46 points & kicking 26 points themselves.
You may be saying "Yeah but they lost" that is correct on
the scoreboard, but in many eyes they won. When you think back to
the last time these girls played Wallan they only managed to kick
9 points & had 81 kicked against them. The point is, yes they
lost the game but the win this week is the improvement coming from
the girls & like I keep saying, improvement amongst all our teams
is really what success should be measured by, finals & premierships
are bonuses for continuous hard work & a bit of luck.
Other results across the club have been mixed again this week. From
all reports all 3 tackers teams just keep getting better & better
- often against bigger bodied teams & in near freezing weather.
Both of our U/10's got up for good wins last week, U/11's came back
down to earth this week getting jumped early but fighting the game
out in true Saints style but unfortunately they couldn't come away
with the points. Both U/12's got up for good wins this week with the
u/12G now winning 4 in a row. Both our 13's had losses this week but
both teams continue to show dramatic improvements week in week out.
Our 14's, after last weeks nail biting win couldn't quite come away
with the points this week & our 15's & Colts teams continue
to be ravaged by lack of playing numbers for various reasons, but
due to quality of people they are, they keep playing out their games
in the spirit in which it should be with a never give up attitude.
Just a reminder that there is no YJFL games scheduled for next weekend
(05/07) due to the YJFL Interleague matches being played. Anyone interested
in going along, watching & supporting SAINTS on the day, Nathan
ALDRIDGE (u/10) Beau MOORCROFT (u/11), Bobby LAMANNA (u/12) &
