POB Under 9 Blue v Bluff

On Sat 4th August the Blue team ventured down to Bluff to play the Bluffies. With Cullen & Daniel not attending & Lucy away rock n rolling we were down on numbers. Bluff kindly lent us 3 players { Thanks Shane} & with Jacob coming down with Dean Addie: we had Dean’s boy Tom play for us. Tom normally plays for Marist U8 so thank you Dean & Tom.
 The game started with Bluff using their bigger forwards to push our  guys around & ended up scoring 1st. Our boys face an up hill battle every week playing against bigger teams; played out of their skins defended their butts off & scored some good team tries to go into halftime with a  1 try lead. The 2nd half was much the same with us holding the lead until Bluff scored a last minute try to tie the game.
 Players to stand out were forwards  Sam McDonald; Jack Butler ; Lachie Nimmo & Joshua McDonough. These boys gave as good as they got; with young Josh getting knocked around abit but still played on. Well done Josh. Jacob Mika continues to be the backbone of the team while Jacob Kura pulled off some big plays with huge blokes running at him he didn’t shy away from his duties. Well done boys a big improvement from previous weeks.

Player of the day-Jacob ‘the Jackel’ Kura
