NEAR-PERFECT conditions was the order of the day for week two of the new season of Touch Football. The under 10s got the afternoon underway with a great mix of old hands and new talent. GSLC (boys) managed to contain the Purple Panthers this week to take the win with Jorja, Charlie and Grace having great games. In only their second game, the GSLC (girls) put up a mighty fight against the Aussie Rebels and scored a couple of great touchdowns as well. Ben, Ellie, Bronte and Zak all played well. A drawn game at full time entertained the spectators in the matchup between Pink Storm and Blazers with Bronte, Jenna and Zane producing outstanding efforts for their teams.
The Under 12s game between Banana Splits and GSLC (girls) also proved to be a tight tussle with the score deadlocked at the final siren. Amy, Lily and Bella all played strongly. Devils lived up to their name and proved too strong for Purple Storm this week with Leisha, Jaidyn and Max leading the way. That Cool Team were gallant in defeat against Saints and showed their never give up attitude. Leo, Charlotte and Holly had outstanding games.
STCC (girls) took the win against NDSHS 9s with Pip, Tia and Bronte showing great skill. Sunshine Rebels and GSLC (boys) played a great match with GSLC being the eventual winners. Jadyn, Giverny and Tavita all had stellar games. SBSHS came out on top in a close encounter with GSLC (girls) with Coral, Jaidyn and Tayla being the standouts in the game this week. NDSHS 8’s (girls) had a tough match against STCC Pansies but fought hard for the entire match. Ed, Chloe, Maya and Cooper all played well. Inferno and NDSHS 8s (mixed) proved to be a good match up with Inferno taking the win this time around. Taj, Kalen, Tom L and Mitch all gave strong performances.
Thank you to all of returning and new referees for taking up the challenge this season. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated.
