Match Report – Under 16 Girls – Round 13, 2018

U16 Girls – Upper Ferntree Gully vs Bayswater.

A special game for Holly, playing her 50th and last game, and Ez and Tahlia playing their last games for the Under 16s; all three have been great servants of the club.

We found it difficult to field a team this week, with our skipper Chloe out due to concussion, and Jaslyn and Kayla unable to join us, and the Under 14 game starting late, which meant we had to wait until quarter time before Torey and Chya arrived to help out. We had four Upper Ferntree Gully players join us for the game.

After a good start from Upper Ferntree Gully, we were well down at quarter time. We fought hard through the middle of the game, creating some scoring opportunities, but couldn’t quite get any goals on the board. Ez played arguably her best game of the season, before coming off injured in the last quarter. Really good games also from Caitlin, Emma, Emily P, Rhian and Emily CT, with Holly unlucky not to kick a goal.

Thank you to our runner Tori, water boy Jake, water girls Summer and Skye, goal umpire Shane, boundary umpire Lochlon, umpire escort Allan, trainer Craig and team manager Mandy.

As we have a bye next round, this is our last game for 2018. Thanks to all the families who helped out this year. To our girls, I really enjoyed being your coach this year, and noticed a steady improvement from the team as the year progressed. We went from a team who struggled to get the ball into our forward line, to a team that could hold its own for periods during games against some of the stronger teams. All this despite being outnumbered in virtually every game of the season. Thank you for your participation, your good humour and your effort this year. Have a great off season, and I hope to see a lot of you suit up again for next season!

U16 Girl’s Coach
