Match Reports – Under 9

The Under 9's had a nill all draw (again) last week against Kedron Wavell. We had several good chances but just couldn't crack it. Our defence played strong with Anthony Burke playing very well at keeper and Mitchell Tucker making some great tackles.

Drew Martin and Callum Rainbow were dominant in the midfield and Isaac Toigo always looked very dangerous up front. Our defence around the field is very good and Gary and I look forward to the team scoring a few more goals in the coming weeks. Thanks to all the parents and family members for their support, our team is improving with each game and more importantly we are all enjoying our hockey and having fun.

Wayne Tucker.
