The wet weather made for tough conditions. Direction from the coach was to pick the football up in the wet conditions, not kick off the ground. Kade Seagrim picked up the ball during a contest, shot out a pass which resulted in the ball going forward and a goal was scored.
.
Who showed courage?: A number of the smaller players showed some real grit today when it counted.
.
Which player really played outside their comfort zone: There were three players who shone today, Emerson O’Dea, Nicholas Zakhem and Tyrell Monsurate.
.
A particularly memorable moment was when I turned around to give the Runner a message to send out, he’s standing near the fence with a bl**dy umbrella in his hand. I thought Mary Poppins had dropped in for a visit. Rest assured, he won’t be doing that again!! Not on my watch anyway.
.
As the Coach, I would just like to say thank you to the Players and the Parents for their support. I hope they are enjoying the season and I hope the boys are having fun along with the learning. Thank you to the Club for giving me the opportunity to Coach.
