Newsletter – Friday 31 July

 

Following a longer than usual break it was great for our awesome team to be reunited and ready for another, albeit shortened, season. Joining the Fins this year is Jack Wooller – who in his debut already demonstrated that he will very quickly be a valued asset to the team. For the first game of the season the Silver Fins played the Wentworth Warriors in an extremely fast but, as it turns out, very evenly matched game. Although Wentworth gained possession of the ball at first whistle and again following half time, our mid fielders Morgan Lusher, Zack Gibbons, Julian Beall and Jack made it very known they were not here to lose. The defense, Alisa Hurter and Blake Thow were both very consistent in thwarting the oppositions attempt to score throughout the game. All swam hard out, with the defense working very well with their interaction with the mid field. One of the hardest and most difficult challenges is to be everywhere at once and this match most certainly required that, and then some.  Not for the faint hearted are two key team roles, that of Striker and Goalie… and both Alice Bauld and Jamie Welch were hands down superb, fearless, and accurate in gaining possession, striking and in Jamie’s case, defending. Our Player of the Day this week went to Jamie for all the aforementioned reasons. Plus he was as cool as a cucumber not allowing those Wentworth players to phase him one bit. In fact I think he was smiling!!! Final Score: 4 all. Goals Zack 1, and Alice 3. Well done Jamie, and well done Team on your great achievement!
