Week 2 (18 Apr)
RESULT: LOSS 0-10
Officially this was our first game of the season and a real eye-opener for the team. This is the first year that the team is playing in Division 1. The team has lost some key players from last year but has acquired new key players to replace them. In short the team is rediscovering itself all at the same time as playing at the top of the table. A little tough to begin but they’ll get there!
WPH were a very tough contender and played extremely well on the day. Coincidently WPH U12/1’s have been together and playing in Division 1 since Under 9’s.
To the game – From first kick-off the boys had their work cut-out for them but this did not deter them from a good fight or from playing as hard as they could. They worked hard in the first half whilst they got used to playing in new positions and used to the way the opposing team play. It was nail-biting stuff indeed!
The second half saw even more determination in the team’s playing style and co-ordination which made WPH work a lot harder than they had to in the first. Our goalie for the day was Harry Rivers and he skillfully saved numerous goals and some brilliantly too. And rightly so he named player of the week. Congratulations Harry!!
