Official Match Report
A fantastic effort by all 18 boys that represented Bentleigh U9 Red in the game today and a big thankyou to the 4 boys, Rory, Felix, William and Ben that came across from U9 purple to help get us to a full side and allowed us to play 18 on the ground.
The first quarter got off to a slow start for us and the Mordi Braeside boys were attacking for most of the quarter, our boys defended really well and held together to keep them from scoring heavily. The mids tried hard to run the ball and the forwards kept moving around and creating options when we got the ball forward..
The second quarter we made some changes and so that all experienced all the zones in defence, mid field and as forwards and our boys continued to battle really hard.
The Third Quarter saw us make some changes and we went into the quarter with probably our best structure. This saw Mordi Braeside not score and our boys dominate in the mid field, down back and our forwards locking the ball into our forward line for most of the quarter, we had lots of opportunities and finally got the ball through the big and little sticks. All forwards looked very very dangerous and we were unlucky not to have scored quite a few goals in that quarter, with 4 shots not making the distance by only a few centimetres.
We fought the last quarter out well and all the boys did a great job by listening, concentrating and playing a real team game. Well done to all our boys.
