U13 Boys Match Report

Round 1

Round 2

Away vs Montrose Red.
Game 2 - ANZAC Round.
Fantastic footy conditions greeted us for the round which honours our ANZACs.
With both teams coming into today off the back of a first round win, the game was played in great spirits by all from the very first bounce.
A low scoring , physically demanding first half saw both teams entering the half time break already physically drained.
The third quarter saw our opponents kick ahead with some quick unanswered goals.
Again in the final quarter, both teams played similar, physical styles of footy with Bayswater unable to close the gap from the third quarter.

A great game of football by both teams with our opponents sneaking away with a win.
Onward to next week…….

Round 3

Home vs Wantirna south

Heading into round 3 with 1 win & 1 loss and looking to push hard for a second season win.
For the third week in a row it’s blue skies and sunshine. Mother Nature treating us well.

With injury starting to creep into the team we head in with no interchange available and unfortunately meet an opponent with a full bench.
As the game progresses we suffer a few minor injuries to our players and combined with no interchange the play is dictated by our opponent.

With a couple of goals being kicked against us each quarter our opponent takes the victory with a one sided scorecard however it didn’t reflect the Bayswater efforts to keep their scoring low by some great teamwork and hardball gets.

With their heads high, they look ahead, towards round 4.

Round 4

Away vs Heathmont.

Conditions were fantastic for our match with the team over the creek. Still no rain to be seen for season 2022.

Noticeable change in the Bayswater team today - they seem hungry for a win. Focused , determined and in every contest.
Pushed one of the top teams in the division hard all day with both teams hitting the scoreboard about the same amount of times.
Unfortunately a couple of goals extra to the opponent saw them victorious.
Lots of noticeable improvements and unlucky the ball didn’t go through the big sticks a little more.
Go Baysie.

Round 5

Home vs Norwood

Guess what - it’s sunny again. I could get used to this.

Today we hosted Norwood in what quickly was revealed to be a 15 vs 15 match up.
Today was anticipated to be a close contest and that it was.
Trailing by 1 goal at the end of the first quarter, the team lifted to be up at half time.
The third quarter saw Norwood edge in front and Baysie couldn’t close the gap in the fourth losing by 7 points.
A hard day with lots of running to cover the gaps.
Unlucky, but we will be ready next time.

Special thanks to Lachie, Charlie & Phoenix from the U11 team for jumping in and helping out today.

Round 6

Vs   Fair Park.

Game 6 for the season sees us hosting Fair Park in fantastic footy conditions.
Slightly cold, no rain to be seen, and every reason to run to keep warm.

The team were celebrating yet another milestone 50th game and that was todays motivation to get the job done.
That, and the desire to get another win against our name to break a drought.

A very even first half saw the scores level at the main break, but inaccurate kicking meant we missed an opportunity to be a few goals up.
The second half was all Bayswater.
With the boys finding a lot of ball up forward, the goals started coming and our lead began to increase.
The forth quarter allowed us the build a little more giving us a well earned victory against a firey opponent.

Great to see the passion today.
Go Baysie.

Round 7

Vs Boronia (Away)

Wonderful conditions for a game of football.
For the first time this year, we have a full team and everyone is excited.
We headed into the game expecting a close one, and that’s exactly how it went.
Keeping boronia to 1 pt for the first half with great defence, however their defence was just as solid only allowing us 1 goal.
The second half saw the ball move from defence to defence and it ended a low scoring game with our opponent on the favourable side for a victory.
So close - just couldn’t hold on.

Round 8

Vs Blackburn (Away)

Unfortunately covid got the better of me this week and I was unable to attend a game we were all looking forward to.
From the very first bounce the Bayswater boys controlled the match with accurate disposal and desire to attack the ball.
Although the opponent attempted a comeback, the team rallied and pushed away again for a great victory and our highest amount of scoring shots for the season at 7goals 17pts.
Training will centre around some goal accuracy this week.
Great team victory.

Round 9

Vs Montrose (Home)

Unfortunately not much can be said about a hard fought game vs the current league leader.
Todays game was played on the senior oval which meant that extra space would be available for the team with the ball.  
We knew that it would be a tough game and although it was played in good spirits, the opposition were too strong.
Knowing that they had given it their all and didn’t quit they left the ground with their heads high and with smiles.
Onward to next week.

Round 10

Vs Wantirna (Away)

Finally ! A good old game of footy in the mud!!
Today was the first wet game of the season and muddy conditions were on hand as we tackled the second on the ladder.
With injury and illness creeping into the team we started the game with a smaller than desired side but that didn’t stop us having a great time.
The competition to see who got the muddiest was on and they didn’t disappoint.
Although we didn’t get over the line for a victory , it was a hard fought game and everyone deserved a nice hot shower as reward.
