MATCH OF THE ROUND: ROUND six - under 12 Blue vs Lyndhurst
Player of the Match: Chayce
Volunteer of the Week: kylie
TM Report: Andrew
Incredibly hard to say which players stood out in the first quarter as the thick fog made it impossible to see what was happening. We did learn that our team is driven by the weather. When it's cold our team seem to be a little stand off-ish but when the sun comes out and their internal engines are warm they fight hard for the ball.
Once the sun came out we saw some excellent passages of play from Chayce, Ovi, Kayden, Dylan, Hudson and many more.
Our 2 goals for the match were kicked by Chayce: the team fought hard to get the ball to Chayce who kicked 2 great goals on the run.
Tackle training has paid off as the team took it to the field this week with some great tackling from Dylan, Rhys and Blake.
The whole team showed courage, as the fog cleared the team rallied and lifted and kept the opposition almost scoreless in the second half with our defence holding strong. There is always at least one moment of courage every week from Riley and this week was no exception.
It's always a little daunting coming into a new team in round 6, and after recovering from injury Rhys has shown he has the courage and determination to be a part of the team and play passionately for the U12 Titan team.
As a team manager and being my first year at the club, I tend to see things with fresh eyes. A funny moment for me on game day is seeing our coach and assistant coach, who are passionate fellas, get incredibly frustrated in Q1 as they couldn’t see their Titan team's great plays and kept asking each other "Who was that?" "Was that a Goal?" "Where is the Ball?" 🤣
This week we had a key word for the team to focus on – ‘effort.’ After Lyndhurst got the jump on us early, the boys responded to the challenge at quarter time and although we lost by a couple of goals on the day, we feel the boys gave tremendous effort for the rest of the game, implemented key things we’ve been training, and won the last three quarters!
