U14 Boys Rd3 Match Report…

Round 3 vs Ferntree Gully

A much more even look to this game, with both sides playing with the same numbers – a welcome relief to our boys. We moved a few boys into different positions to start the game and they all responded very well. We had a distinct height advantage pretty much all over the ground, but the Ferntree Gully team is a very skilled and fast side, and the first half provided a number of challenges. We hit the lead early with some good team football, but some lapses in concentration when the other team has the ball allowed them to use their run and skill and get back in the game. At half time we were leading 7.4 to 5.6 and were being well led by Jackson and Owen, with great play from our backline of Rhys, Kobe, Rohan and Cody in particular.

In the third quarter we relaxed a bit and their run took over, and at three quarter time the scores were level. However, the boys switched back on in the last quarter, and with some great play from Oscar on the ball (and a brilliant goal), huge efforts from Mason and Xavier around the ball, and awesome defense from Cody, we were able to come away with a well-deserved win.

Final Scores: Bayswater 12.12 to Ferntree Gully 8.10

Goal Kickers: Oscar Ludtke 4, Jackson Peters 3, Chad Hannan 2, Josh, Xavier and Owen 1 each

Best Team Players: Cody Kleverkamp, Oscar Ludtke, Mason Pollard, Jackson Peters, Owen Prior

Playing on ANZAC Day is a real honour, and both sides treated the game with the respect it deserves – well done boys. Congratulations Jackson on receiving the ANZAC Medal from the Ferntree Gully coach.
