Official Match Report
The Under 8 Stars played their best game of the year against a very
strong East Malvern side on Mother's Day. The focus for the day was
set by Jordan Ritterman and JJ Dodge as Captains, who urged the team
to tackle hard, handball to teammates and kick straight. Tackling
ended up being the most crucial skill in a low scoring game that had
lots of tight contests with the opposition. Defensive efforts all day
were outstanding, and the kids are now setting up to team structures
on their own initiative. With only three goals kicked between the
teams for the day, Bradley Apel produced a highlight right on the
final siren with a snap from deep in the pocket that rolled through
for an amazing goal, sending his teammates into raptures.
