Our under 7s Yellow “hockeyroos” team followed up with another incredible high scoring win this week! Despite being one down with our little ‘roo Holly out with a nasty tummy bug, it was clear we were up for a win when Clancy started warm up with a few team rules he had written during the week. An early strong bully from Mickey gave us the break we needed to start the scoring streak. Lily, Roisin and Clancy followed up with some great passes and Maddy (this week’s captain) once again did the team proud with her strong pushes down the length of the field. In fact the pushes all around were so strong we spent a lot of time fetching the balls that were hit out from both teams! They might be under 7s but we saw the makings of real talent this game with Mya repositioning her body and stick to steal the ball in fierce tackles, Lily recognising that it is better to let the opponents ball cross the line than madly trying to save it and Mickey darting like a space invader to find the gaps in front of her markers. Our quiet achiever Brooklyn shone with an impressive save mid game and despite some near misses at goal by Sophie, Mickey and Mya, the team revelled in the eight successful goals of these three players and their team mate Lily! Its not the number of oranges these little guys can down at half time that is most impressive, its the true sportsmanship they show, cheering each other on, willingly subbing on and off during each 15 min half and eagerly trying their very best in both attack and defence. The broad grins around a rainbow of mouthguards are infectious, they are having a ball and the Club can be as proud as the players are of themselves. Top effort!

JT3 match report for Friday 8th June.
Our JT3 team braved the wind and cold of Redcliffe on a Friday night to play Norths. It was a closely fought game from one end of the field to the other. Norths took the early lead about half way through the first half off a corner. The girls hung in and keep Norths on their toes before a lovely cross from the right was beautifully swept into the goal by Letitia in the 2nd half.
Both teams had their chances to skip to the lead but couldn't get one in the net. Both Emma and the Norths goalie did some lovely saves.
A great game girls, you all fought hard and didn't give up.
A big thank you to Jade from JG2 and Rachel from U13B's for filling in for us again, you both played really strong and we can see the confidence growing in you both and you both boost the team when you are there.
Well done girls.
