Under 12E - Another great team effort on Saturday Great to see the kids sharing the footy andgettingtheirteammatesinvolved.

Awards for round 4 went to Flynn Moyle, Sam Copping, Max Young, Layken Kenny, Kurtis Lorigan.BenJohnson-Coach

Under 12D - Round four for the U12 D’s was approached with much anticipation. Players were well rested from a bye week and this game we witnessed the release of caged tigers hungry for the football. Welcoming back Oliver Liddle, he showed why he is a threat to the opposition in his ability to glide through packs, connect with handballs and marking some rippers!

Under 12C - This week we played at McDonald Park, in glorious conditions. We couldn’t have asked for better weather for this time of the year Nearly had to break out the sunscreenbecausetheweatherwassogood.

The boys came up against a very determined East Gambier, who displayed some great skill and tenacity at the ball, they got the jump on our boys, and this was a little unexpected for the boys. The East side were very physical, which resulted in a few clashes that shook the confidenceofourboys.

To their credit our boys gathered their composure and began playing the North Gambier brand of football, one of respect to our opposition and the game. They never gave up and executedtheskillsthatwesetouttoachieveforthegame,theyweretoexecuteatleastfive shepherds and five hand balls to our teammates to advantage. I was really proud of how theyrespondedtowhatwasaverydifficultmatch.

Whatadifferenceaweekcan make in football. This week we had some long awaited information out of the SANFL, great weather and an improved performance by theseniorfootballers.

There is a bit to play out before we can be sure of whatishappeningin2024,so my advice is we concentrate on what we can control, whichatpresent,isthisyear!

With all football teams, including U12s playing at East, the busiest place was the driveway Credit to East, who had both ovals looking a picture, helped by the sun shining!

Theseniorshaveafewforced changes this week, giving another opportunity for a debutant in Trae Hamilton, whodidnotlookoutofplace. We also welcomed back Toby de Wit from Pioneers duty and he turned it on with 5 goals In a pretty even contest, we stuck to our task and came home strong. Best players were, Sam Stafford (6 goals), Sam Zeitz, Mackye Baron, Cam Ortlepp, de Wit and Josh Jenner. Unlike the previous couple of weeks, there were others unlucky nottogetanaward.

Coach Young had plenty of changes in the ressies, which unfortunately was reflected in the ½ time score. The boys got it together in the 2nd half to break even with some scoreboard action, so there was some reward for effort. Butters put on a bit of a show running down the wing a co u p l e o f t i m e s , b u t unfortunately he was going so fast he missed his boot a couple of times – keep taking it on and it will come, they say. Best players were Tom Flett, Zach Clark, Jay Turner, BradleyNottle-Justice,Shaun

ButterfieldandJaydenPaues.

The U18s are travelling nicely under coach Bryan. This week the highlight (nearly of the whole day) was Seb Doody with 7 goals. Seb was a bit stiff Deacon Ilsley had heaps of it to be named best, followed by Seb, Richie Kinyabugma, Angus Allen, Reece and Chad McLaughlin, who are both travelling better than Carltons twin towersatpresent.

Our only loss for the day came in the U16s who had a frustrating day Coach Zeitz knows he has a talented bunch to work with and I am sure he will work on the positives this week Aaron Dally had the ball on a string, and he was joined with other award winners in Cooper Turner,AlexanderBruce,Sam BaronandJacksonDriver

There was a ding dong battle in the U14s, with the tiger cubs holding out a fast finishing East and coming out on top. Best players were Sam Baron, Esaie Kulimushi, M a s o n R o g e r s , K o b e Roulstone, Charles Waters andEthanBrook.

This week we host Casterton Sandford, in dare I say it, an 8 point game in the seniors Who knows how many more times we will play them at Vansittart Park, so let’s make itmemorable.

Rosters are now out. Please make sure you check and fulfilyourresponsibilities.

Memberships can still be purchased. Please reach out to Mardi or Andrew Whan or head to Team App and purchase from the NGFC Store.

Thank you to our major sponsors in Stuckey Electrical ContractorsandKFC.

Welcome to another round of football Cat fans and this week we are in Tigerland, Vansittart Park, North Gambier, get yourself some chipsandgravywhileitshot and sit back and watch the bigCatsfly

Last weekend wasn't a positive one for the Cats on the winners board but by crikey the Cat fans were in attendance, the sun was shining, the tucker was hot, the beverages were cold, and so many people decked out in the blue and white with a touch of red. I'm sure a few of the people that gathered at Island Park had c o m e h o m e f o r t h e weekend to see mum for Mothers day , but it was still nice to see them at the footy

The Seniors were down a few players but had a real crack against a very well rehearsed Millicent team in the first half, but the Saints 19 scoring shots to the Cats 8 in the second half showed why Millicent are in the box seattogobacktoback.

The better players for the Cats were Michael Krieger, Matt Killey, Nick Schembri, Hamish McCrae, Dylan AytonandDiarmidCleary

The Cats Reserves had a really good first quarter but were unable to get the chocolates at the end of the day, the real positive from this game was the many players who showed that they are capable of making the jump up into the Senior sideif needed.

Better players were Thomas Searle, Jarrad Smith, Jarvis Parsons, Hamish Carlin, Fletcher Bright and Rhys Jolly.

It was a game of two halves

for the Under 16 Cats, unfortunatly the first half was better than the second and it was the young Saints who came out on top. I'm confident that Coach Snake will have his Cats turn the result around next time theyplay.

Better players were Bay McKinnon, Samuel Patton, Elwood Geary, Jedd Rhook andOliverFoster.

The Under 14's were a bit short staffed but the game wasabletogoaheadthanks to a couple of young Saints givingusahand.

Better players were Harry Simpson, Billy Rhook, Nathan Robbins and Jett Lykke.

Well Cat Fans if you have read this far and you still haven't got your chips and gravy you may have missed out, now get your beeping hand ready and your vocal cordsintuneaswecheeron our Mighty Cats, CARN CATS!

Thank-you to all our valued s p o n s o r s i n c l u d i n g Boonaroo, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Bendigo Bank, and Casterton Secondary College

Big shout out to Hamish Reilly, another dependable and reliable stalwart, on reaching 150 games. Nodoubt,hiscloseknitfamilywill be there (in vocal earnest) cheeringhimon.

Sponsors Day this week against the Roos, so get there for what shouldbe2crackinggames-both clubs undefeated so far this seasoninSeniorsandReserves.

The road trip to Island Park saw the Rezzies having a big win over the Cats. Plenty of multiple goal kicking targets up forward with Mitch Reilly having 5 majors, Digga with 4, Coach Consistent Josh Peters with 3 and the enigmatic Tom Chant also with 3. Aus Fuller continued his good form being named best on ahead of Dredgie. Blake Werchon had a good one and continues putting solid 2 game efforts each week. The lads that back up a second game each week will be benefitting from the experience of Nat Robbins, Brad Tilley and others. Scruff Shanks was also namedinthebest.

The Seniors continued their winning form Across the 4 quarters, the best passages were thosecreatedfromquickhandsin

closeandsharingtheballaround. There was plenty of congested stoppages with no shortage of players scrapping to get the ball outforateammate’sbenefit. For the most part of the game this created space on the far side of theovalfordeliveryoutinfrontof ourrunningplayers.

Multiples of 3 goals each to Josh Werchon (Best on for his run, carry and ball usage); Sam Willis (elusive for defenders) and Jacob “Skillshot” Carger (took 2 bounces speeding into open goal and with precision nailed the woodwork!). 2 goals to Jaxon Cushion and singles to 7 players, including Clint Gallio who seemed to be everywhere and named second best. Ty Lang worked hard applying spoils and racked up possessions also. Kade Varcoe and Micah Rupcic were also recognised in the best players for their rugged and stoic effortsinthecongestion.

Our U16's and U14's got back on thewinnerslist,andaselectionof our 12A's and 12C's combined to take on Casterton's 12 B's on the back oval. Some exciting footy again played across our junior grades. Make an effort to get out earlytoseethefutureofourclub.

VWhat a huge week with all the football news makes for excitingtimesahead.

I am very excited and looking forward to the change. Please I ask not to read to much into the travel factor particularly if you are a Junior parent. Your kids wont be travelling much I need you to trust me on that, but I do want you to stick with us through this period.

I am mindful that it was big news but you will do more travelling if you went to any mid se club and I have the km's breakdown to prove it. So sit tight and stick with us and we will have a meeting soon to discuss so keep an eye on the FB post later this weektoannouncedates.

As for football its exciting in the senior grade today for us to tackle the top side in Millicent both the seniors

and Ressie's are excited and looking forward to the challenge and opportunity tolearnandgrow

With the Junior grades it is again another great challenge for us to keep improving and learn from our games played and keep getting better. Special shout out to all our wonderful volunteers and supporters for getting around the new BBQ shed with cooking, serving, eating and drinking. Great to see it so fulltheday

Love the super snags in the secondbestBBQshedinthe WBFL.

Mr Ford said that after reviewing several structure alternatives, the Working Group agreed that a two-competition model would achieve the best possible balance in competition size, evenness, proximity for participants, junior participation and pathways.

He said an important aspect in developing the new structure would be to find ways to introduce a more flexible junior structure which prioritises participation, creates inclusive environments, establishes stronger pathways through to senior club level and importantly ensures future sustainabilityintheregion.

“Ultimately, there was a need to provide a structure which would ensure stability and sustainability for clubs in the longer-term, as well as to complement an overall regionalfootystrategy,”MrFordsaid.

DEMONS’FANSHOLDTHEIRBREATH

ThrillerputsSouthintofirstfinalin19years(1970) SOUTH Gambier supporters held their breath as Coleraine big man John Vickery took his kick about 30 metres from goal with less than a minute left on theclock.

Vickery had already kicked three goals and had just climbedhighoverthebackofDemons’fullbackJohn Broadbent to pull in the mark of the match. It was a screamer and the local football world virtually stoppedasVickerywalkedbacktotakehiskick.

As the time clock ticked down, it was well into timeon,lessthanaminuteremainedinthe1970Western Border Football League preliminary final with South leadingbyfourpointsasVickery madehisapproach. A goal would put Coleraine into the grand final for a re-match with Hamilton. His kick looked true off the boot and it was heading towards the big sticks. As it did the jaws of every South supporter dropped, knowingtheirseasonwasheadingforacruelend. But, as it neared its target the ball started to veer slightly and slammed into the goal post for a behind. South’shopeswerestillalive.

South coach Garry Sims took the kick-in and sent a huge torpedo punt straight down the ground where his brother Darryl gathered the ball off the pack in the centre of the ground and on the run kicked a behindtopushtheleadbacktofourpoints.

CleverlyGarrySimsmovedhimselfdowntheground and marked the Coleraine long kick-in as the siren sounded to send South into its first grand final in 19 years.

Their last was in 1951 when they won a premiership intheSouthEastandBorderFootballLeague. The match was one of the best for the season between two teams who played fast, run-on football.

Coleraine had come off a defeat by Hamilton in the second semifinalwhileSouth had won the first semi final.

South dominated the first half but survived a late charge and were almost over-run by a fast finishing Maroons.

In the opening term Darryl Sims in the centre, rovers Peter Whitehead and Barry Smith had worked well with ruckman Max Deckert to put South four points upatquartertime.

At full forward Brian Norman’s fast leading and sure marking was giving Coleraine’s Barry Kaine a hard timewhileJeffArthurwasontopofRonJenkinsonat centrehalfforward.

South’s second quarter proved to be its best for the game and with winners in most key positions the Demonspiledon5.3totakeagoodleadathalftime.

Gordon Walker had been in great touch across half back and with Sims controlling aerial duels and having the better of Geoff Shrive, South looked impressivewhentheywentintothelongbreak.

South9.9,Coleraine5.5.

It was a more determined

Coleraine outfit which reemerged after half time and slowly they started to pullbackthe21-pointlead.

Up forward Graham Harriott was giving the South defence a difficult time while Vickery’s high marking resultedinacoupleofgoals.

InthethirdtermGarrySimsneededtobeathisbest, turning back Coleraine time and again with some telling marks at centre half back and Deckert did some telling things around the ground to match Vickeryintheruck.

South swapped Norman and Arthur to get more run at centre half forward which worked well but at the other end of the ground Graham Harriott was causing concern with his sound marking and ground play

AtthreequartertimeSouth’sleadwas21points.

AtthefinalbreakSouth11.11ledColeraine8.8.

As the final terms got under way rover Vern Spencer was now in control around the packs he kicked his fourth goal for the game while Harriott and Vickery eachnotchedtheirthirdasColerainestormedhome.

Coleraine coach Col Saddington played an inspirational game as ruck rover and his bulk in the packs helped Spencer and the Coleraine little men gettheballaway

In defence, Garry Sims showed great leadership in that final term and pulled in some telling marks just when it appeared Coleraine were about to steal the lead.

In the centre Darryl Sims had a great tussle with Laurie Kaine and while they played wide of each other Kaine’s long kicking into attack kept Coleraine in the game in the first half while Darryl Sims accuratepassinghelpedArthurandNormantothree goalseach.

Kaine was particularly damaging in the final term whereheoftenkickeddeepintoattack.

South’s Max Deckert did some damage when resting in attack and also picked up three goals from strong marks.

HewasSouth’sbestruckmanandthefastestbigman on the field and used that to good effect when restinginattack.

On one occasion he grabbed the ball from a centre bounce, weaved around two opponents and then sprinted downfield with team-mates shepherding him as he bounced the ball twice before slamming it throughthemiddleforavitalgoal.

Had Vickery not hit the post in time-on Coleraine wouldhavewontheirwayintothegrandfinal.

However,Southhungontowin13.14(92),Coleraine 13.10(88).

One name that would stand out for some years was teenage ruckman John Cunneen who was in his debutyear

He gave Vickery great support and his marking

around the ground ear-marked him as a future championandthatisthewayitturnedout.

Cunneen would go on to play more than 300 league games with Coleraine and Portland and was a top inter-leagueplayer

Rover Vern Spencer was again Coleraine’s best and his work with Saddington was very effective while LaurieKaineandVickeryamongotherswhokeptthe Maroonsinthegame.

South coach Garry Sims was the difference, particularly in the second half when the Demons were under enormous pressure, while rovers Peter Whitehead and Barry Smith were damaging around theground.

Dale Hillyer was South’s best defender closely followedbyJohnBroadbent.

Sims took eight marks and had 23 kicks for the day while Barry Smith picked up 20 kicks and Peter Whitehead17.

What was interesting was that Coleraine’s ruckmen John Vickery and young John Cunneen had more than matched Hamilton’s star Geoff Cayzer the previous week in the second semi final and they appeared to have the artillery to match Hamilton’s bigmenhadtheymadethefinal.

Nowthequestionbeingaskedmostwaswhetherthe South ruckmen – David Walker, Steve Rothall and Max Deckert and ruck rover Russel Matthews would be able to dampen Cayzer’s influence in the grand finalthefollowingweek.

It would be the battle which would decide the premiership.

CASTERTONSANDFORDVMILLICENT

The Cats hosted the Saints at the weekend and started with another new look – partly to try some new combinaons and partly tocoverinjuryandplayerunavailability

It was a new look defensive combinaon with Meg Smith taking on the unenviable task of trying to limit the influence of Tabatha Sanderson, with Madalene Cleary out the front to take on playmaker Demi Verbena.

It turned out to be a tough oung for the experience had working duo as Millicent put on a clinic in every area of the court ensuring they had a lion’s share of possession and were able to carve their way through the court to score a stunning 94goals.

Young Saints defenders Pora McRae and Lauren Van Eeden were able to make life tough for the new look shoong combinaon of coach Dani Russell and Chelsey Galpin, with Chloe Foster moving to the aacking wing and Madeline Paon takingthecentrebib.

The pressure applied by Lisa Duldig and Lillie Paul on the Cats feeders was relentless and helped McRae and Van Eeden create the turnover ball and then with ball in hand, Millicent moved the ball with speed and precision through Paul and DaisyTunkintofindtheirshootersinspace.

The Millicent shooters need those 95 goalsfrom114opportunies.

The Cats just had no answers to the polished Saints and in the first three quarters were only able to generate 22 scoring opportunies although the last quarter with Ivy Lane and Galpin in the shoong circle, they need a perfect 10 from 10 as a combinaon, doubling the outputfromthepreviousthreequarters.

Paon was also a shining light with her hard running in centre and willingness to keep presenng as an opon for her under pressure team mates, while Cleary also baled hard to stem the flow, while also

helping bring the ball through the mid court.

WESTGAMBIERVSOUTHGAMBIER

Aer a ght opening quarter where South Gambier was able to match it with the reigning premiers, the Roos started to take control, forcing the young Demons into enough errors to work their way to a 26 goalvictory

Missing star shooter Sarah Rier, who rolled her ankle during the week at training, West called on Tahlia Earl and she didnotdisappointwithherstrengthonthe holdandaccuratefinishing.

HavingplayedmanyseasonsalongsideLisa McGregor, the makeshi combinaon didn’t miss a beat, despite some good pressure from Demons defenders Mykaela Thiele and Ellie Bouchier, with McGregor upping her output on the scoreboard as wellinabestoncourtperformance. The bale through the middle between Tara Bryant and Sophie Wight was one for the ages as both used their speed and athlecism to great effect and both were keyfeederfortheirrespecvesides.

In the end it was a game of supply with West generang 94 scoring opportunies to South’s 63, and while the shoong combinaon of Gracie Dalton and Alyssa Duncan connued to show promise, there is sll some work to do in terms of connecon with the mid court and ensuring they can generate more and easierscoringchances.

Of course when the likes of Zoe Malseed, Amy Cram and Jade Rier are applying the relentless pressure for which the Roos are known, it was always going to be a tough ask.

South Gambier is back on its home court for the first me in a month and will host East Gambier in what looms as a ght contest as the two teams fight for a secondwinin2023.

Both sides have seen significant changes from their 2022 line-ups and are sll looking to sele into combinaons, with injury and player absence also making buildingthatchemistryevenharder.

Gracie Dalton has seled well into her first season of A Grade and her bale with seasoned defender Morgan Amy willbeakeymatchup.

As will Bo Creek’s bale with Alyssa Duncan, who has become the key playmakerfortheDemons.

Creek loves to hunt the intercept but will also be mindful of not giving Duncan too much space to use her skills to find Daltoninspace.

The centre match up also looms large with Sophie Wight and Chloe Perryman going toe to toe in a bale of two hard runners who never shy away from the physicalcontest.

Casey Horrigan is under an injury cloud but there is shoong depth with Sarah Allen, Renee Henke and Ambah Beveridge, who was impressive in her A Gradedebutlastround.

The moving Bulldogs goal circle will need to work overme to find a way through the defensive combinaon of Ellie Bouchier and Mykaela Thiele and accuracy will be key as Bouchier and Thiele should own the rebounding contests.

North Gambier has been in good form in 2023 despite significant personnel changes and it will make for a tough day attheofficeforCastertonSandford.

The Cats have been baling injury and player unavailability and it has made it

tough to sele into anyrhythm.

Madalene Cleary has been a shining light for the Cats and will probably need to be the mainstay in defence as the Cats look to limit the scoring of Grace Pos and MaceyGriffith.

At the other end, the Cats have some talented young shooters to run through the circle with Ivy Lane, Chloe Foster and the returning Chelsey Galpin all capable oftesngdefenderswiththeirwellmed moves.

Our timing and movement the ball down court was exactly what we have beenworkinginandthiswaslargelydue to Ava’s drive and back up and Cara’s timing and finding space. Our defence combo of Jessie and Riley is growing stronger week by week and your ability to adjust throughout the game as needed was very pleasing to see. Alisha, Alycia and Amanda are really showing a great understanding of each other’s ability/needs going into and around the attacklineandwerereallypatientinand around the ring, while the goalies including Stella moved and shot with a lotofconfidence.

Well done to Caitlyn Gorman, Marlee Robbins, Renee Gorman, YlanaGriggandChloeKurzmanfor attending the WBNA junior trials f o r t h e S A C o u n t r y Championships.Goodluck girls for theselectionprocess.

LastSaturdaymadeforagreatday out with the perfect autumn weather at Island Park The Casterton-Sandford girls had some tough games against the visitingteaminMillicent,

Juniors:

Olivia, Amelia, Brydie and Caitlyn were keeping up some great pressure across the court in the Under 15A’s, but unfortunately they couldn’t put a stop to Millicent’s fast footwork and ball movement, finishing with a scorelineof7-79.

The Under 15B’s had their work cut out for them with Millicent putting quick and consistent goals on the board throughout the game Caitlyn, Nicole, Ella and Kirby had to work hard to get the ball down to our attacking end to putsomewell-earnedgoalsonthe board for the Cats The girls finishedwithaloss3-81.

Under 13A players took to the court in the first quarter to match Millicent’s attack. Marlee and Renee played in the centre court toprovideasteadytransitionfrom the Cats defense to attack, as well as expertly timed and positioned passes into goalies Adele and Brooklyn. It was tough work in the defense with accurate opposition shooters, but Ylana and Zoya made every effort to stop the ball heading into Millicent’s attacking circle.Asthegameprogressedthe polished game played by the Millicent girls saw the margin creep further away from the Cats, leavingourgirlswithaloss13-42.

WhatawellearntwinintheUnder 13B’s last week. The girls demonstrated brilliant teamwork as the ball moved from either end of the court, but it was the intercepts taken and loose balls fought for by Ylana, Renee and Adele that let the Cats girls sneak awayattheendofthelastquarter witha5-goalvictory22-17.

Pinelopi, Imogen and Ruby have beenmakingthemostofsomefun and skillful training drills, putting them into play on the weekend. With all the girls improving they put up a great fight against Millicent’s young guns, but unfortunately the scoreline

wasn’t in the Cats girls favour, losing6-18.

We had Madalene and Madeline working hard at either end of the court to help the Cats keep possession of the ball against Millicent’s strong defense in the A Grade. The girls finished with a loss20-94.

A Reserve players Paige, Sharna and Phoebe weren’t going to walk away from Saturday’s game without leaving everything on the co u r t T h ey fo u g ht h a rd throughout the game, but it wasn’t quite enough with Millicent stretching the margin to ascore-line54-65byfulltime.

B Grade took home the second win of the day 50-34. Trictia was on fire through the mid court as well as her accuracy in the goal ring, and Kerri made some vital turnovers across the court. With some handy tips at breaks from CoachHaylee,thegirlskeptupthe intensity to finish off the game strong.

Seniors: Millicent got the jump at the start of the C Grade game, leaving the Cats girls trying to even the scoreline. They couldn’t quite get there losing 14-51. Special mentions to Ebony,Michelle,AmberandKatie.

It was a close game for the Under 17swithafinalscore-lineof42-50. Neitherthe Millicent nor Cats girls wanted to give up easily, but despite the efforts of Chelsea, Madeline and Phoebe Millicent tookhomethewin.

A very chilly start for the girls at Casterton making it a very even match up for the first 2 quarters! Once the girls warmed a little, they had some excellent turn overs in defence and were able to move the ball swiftly through the mid court and were rewarded with some great movement and scoring opportunities in goals! Well done on another great win girls. Best players were Raven Johnson and Lia Joyce and the Subway award went toRaven.

Another great win for the girls. It was a very cold and foggy start for the girls and therefore took us a bit for the girls to wake up. Our full court defensive pressure was great to see and our new attacking combinations were working well to score most turnovers. Still lots to improve on at training but keep working hard girls! Best players were AmarlieThomsonandLucyCrowe.

Under 11s - The little Roo’s had one of our best games so far this season. Again we got off to a fantastic start but just couldn’t hold on. Our court structure was amazing and its was pleasing to see the skills we have been practicing at trainings are also being done on game day I am also very impressed with our footwork, our stepping in games has reduced significantly We just needed to look after our passestowardstheendofthegame.Welldone girls your improvement was amazing! Thank you to South for a really good game. Our best players went to Eliza and Ayla who both played agreatgameindefence.

Under 13Bs - This young West team had a couple of players missing so many of the girls playedoutofpositionagainstSouth.Thisdidn't stop their determination to win ball and contest. Hannah Jackson starting at Centre with Mackenzie Fisher at WA and Isobel RichardsandMollyThomasingoals.InDefence we had Aggie Thomas, Ruby Lamb and Chaneil Cowland.Bothteamsstruggledearlywiththeir foot work and the West girls worked hard to correct it. West struggled to convert in the goal circlebutwereupby3goalsatthequartertime break. South made some changes at quarter time and were able to peg back a couple of goals. West lead by 1 goal at half time. Both teams made multiple changes at the half time break. Hannah went to defence and Ruby went to centre. The 3rd quarter was a very even contest. With both teams score 3 goals apiece. Heading into the last quarter Chaneil came to the bench after jarring her ankle during the quarter This meant Ella McKenny, who was benching for the team, hit the court at Centre. Hannah was back in her familiar position of GA and Molly was put into GD The westies started very strongly this quarter Ruby, Molly and Aggie were able to pull in some great intercepts With Ella's speed though the midcourt the team were able to attack swiftly Hannah's inclusion into goals seemed to spark Isobel and the 2 girls moved and shoot beautifully The West girls won the quarter 8 goals to 4. Winning the game 19-13. Best on Court was given to Hannah and Molly The game day vouchers went to Aggie and Ruby Thank you to Ella McKenny and Claire Hunter whobenchedforusthisweek.

15/Under Bs - Saturday saw our 15B team take the court against South Gambier for the first time and come away with a decent win on the board. The team was navigating some injuries andillnessbutshowedtheirdeterminationand grit and got it done. The mid court worked tirelessly in driving down the court and feeding the ball into the shooters who have clearly been doing some practice in their own time. Holly Jackson showed everyone exactly the

reason she is playing in defence this year with too many incredible intercepts to count!! Best oncourtthisweekwasawardedtoAvaReidfor her fast work in and around the goal ring and also Libby Buck for pushing exceeding all expectationsontasksthatweregiventoher

You have both jelled really well together and you both nevergiveup!

17/Under - Another win on the board for the Under 17’s girls We started strong with pressure all over the court. Imogen and Lucy started in the goals with both girls shooting well, with support around the circle from Halle and Charlotte Charlotte maintained her intensity through all 4 quarters in the Centre position, her fitness gave us the advantage. Halle’s at WA had a great game, her passes into the goalies was fast keeping the WD for South onhertoes.

I was very impressed with Alex in our WD position, she attacked every ball that came her way, getting plenty of interceptions and touchesthroughoutthegame. Our defence duo in Macy and Ellie are getting stronger every game. Ellie’s ability to read the ball and Macy’s height made it hard for the South goalies and they put the pressure on all game. Aleisha slotted into the GA spot after half time carrying on where Lucy left off She worked well with Immy extending our lead. At thefinalwhistlethescorewasWest56toSouth 31. Well done once again to all my girls. Game day awards – Imogen McGregor and Macy Pearson.
