Junior Red Devils white-wash Eddy’s Under 12s The black division under 12s took on the might of St Edmunds at home last Saturday. Looking for the home ground advantage the Devils took off and scored within a few minutes of the game commencing. Unfortunately Robin Allen was injured in this dash for the line and the game was stopped for about 40 minutes until Robin could be moved into an ambulance and taken to hospital. Robin is now fine and suffered no serious injuries, but all care and caution must be taken when this type of injury occurs. The game recommenced and the Devils were now playing for their injured team-mate. The boys were a different team this week. It seems the previous games draw really spurred them on. The boys knew the breakthrough was close and they finally did it. The forwards really put it to the Eddys pack who had no answers for ours boys. game with all three trys be It was a forwards being scored by the might the Devils forwards driving over the line. off continuity proved too g The backs good for Eddys with the all constantly going out to the wing. Charlie Allen played a ball antastic game taking a catch off a kick ki and making a huge fantastic un down the sideline. run Hugh Allen was playing the ACT hooker and had an utstanding outstanding game, winning two tight heads and coring scoring a try. Liam Allen showed s great cross field defence, saving sa two tries and scoring tw two tries by pushing through the Eddys defence and getting the b ball over the line. Luke Ri Rixon has moved to fullback an and is gaining a good understandin understanding of the position and covering defen defending. Aaron playe played a great game and is starting to run forward. Joseph Eiluga did a fantastic job under pressure from the more experienced Eddys boy boys. Edward Larritt
continually got the ball and drove well all day. New club member Toby Afflick has come to the Cooma club all the way from Broulee. This is testament to the club of how well the Red Devils are perceived that a player is willing to travel that distance to play for our club. Toby played a great game and is now another valuable member of the under 12’s team. Final score 15-0 to the Devils. Points this week went to, 3- Hugh Allen, 2 Hamish Martin-Smith and Henry Schofield, 1- Toby Afflick and Luke Rixon. This weekend there is no competition but the Tuggeranong Vikings are hosting a round robin with Cooma and Jindabyne. There will be two buses departing on Saturday morning at 8.30 from Centennial Park. If you can’t come let Chris know ASAP. Under 10s The under 10’ were looking to avenge their loss to Eddys last time they played them. Taking the home ground advantage they went out hard and showed the Eddys boys how much they have improved. With their new power house Dylan Van Gemert, who has decided to play in his own age group the team raced ahead scoring quickly after kick off. The boys showed great improvement in defence this week, especially on the try line, even holding one try up! This was one of their best defensive efforts so far this year. Peter Tangye toiled hard around the ruck all day and great attacking play was made by Dylan and Joe Rossiter. Broc Allen made a break and ran the ball forward until he was caught and tackled to the ground. Zac Van der Plaat also made progress with the ball this week bringing it forward. Colby Evans has improved and was all over the field trying his hardest all game. The boys had the scrum down pat this week and again it was the best scrum of the season. The team must remember that the second half of the game isn’t time to switch off and you must keep up the intensity all game. In general the entire teams is improving in leaps and bounds every week and our winning streak is proof of that. Final score 22-10 to the Devils. Points this week: 3- Dylan Van Gemert, 2- Peter Tangye, 1- Colby Evans. Next week if you are unable to go to Tuggeranong please contact Narelle ASAP. If you can help on the bus that too would be appreciated. Pictured left, Charlie Allen running the ball. Below: great defence from the under 10s.
