From the first whistle, the intensity was evident, with players eager to win possession and keep the ball moving.
The desire to be involved stood out, as everyone presented as an option and backed each other up.
Most importantly, it was a true team effort, unselfish play, clear communication, and support at every contest made the difference.
It was really hard to pick best on, but Charlie Hetherington took that out followed by Charlie Rennie then Jake Harvey, Mark Godfrey, Zach Grimison and Jackson Cleve got the good sport award
Final score: Blighty 14.6 (90) def Picola United 1.6 (12).
Fourths
Picola made the most of the wind advantage in the first quarter, which set them up for the game.
But Blighty was able to hold them for the rest of the game, and is continuing to work well as a team.
Deakin Kelly and Amaya Morgan are working well in the back line together.
This week’s best on ground award went to Andrew Frost, who has a fantastic work ethic. Playing as the ruck rover, he never stops and is a great team member.
Daniel Burn is another hardworking team member, and Harlem Morgan was able to find her form and was able to start winning the ball.
Maddy Hunter played her second game for the fourths, and really is starting to find her spot in the team.
Felix McKenzie came up from the fifths. He shows no fear when he is playing up in the next level.
The good sports award went to Deagan Morgan, who always plays the game in a fair manner.
Final score: Blighty 2.5 (17) def by Picola United 4.11 (35).
Fifths
After playing in warm conditions for our first few games, we encountered a cold windy morning which our team will have to get used to going forward.
Our first quarter started off in great shape, working together scoring a couple of goals.
But to Picola’s credit, they started using the ball well in the open space, which is something we are trying to work on.
We will continue to work hard on the track, working on our skills and gameplay.
Final score: Not scored.
Awards: Felix, Bill, Ari , Nash, Kayden and Amber.
