The round 15 action was the last before the finals start in the 3 older divisions next weekend. The Juniors division has two more rounds and the Storm Hawks lead by four points. Just one more win will see them take an unassailable lead but with the Incredibles in second place and set to play them in the last round the Storm Hawks won't want to leave it till then or they could fall short!
The clashes in all divisions have been great viewing for the spectators and no doubt we will all be in for some exciting football in the coming 2 weeks!
SUB-JUNIORS
A fun filled session was had by all with some very good jumping, throwing and passing but the shooting by everyone was outstanding. Even the littlies are starting to really sink the boot into the ball and make sure the goals rattle with the power they have! The games at the end of the sessions are definitely getting more intense with the younger players getting more involved and keeping the ball on the field more often!
The Blues were short a couple of players but the coach helped when necessary but the Blacks played very well in the early stages of the game and Leroy Campbell-Davys, Isabella Hindmarsh and Harrison Wall all scored early goals. The Blues Jackson Morris and Jake Waters both scored and both Jai Bunn and Imogen Dixon helped out at times. The Blacks scored another 2 goals but the Blues kept trying hard and scored another 2 goals as well but in the end couldn't get another goal to tie the game and the Blacks won 5 - 4.
