After a rocky start with two fast goals from B1, this was a close end-to-end game which could easily have been a draw with a little more luck for B4. Jasper Dellwo was strong in goal and Amelia Webber excellent in defence, holding her position the whole game.

Arabella Hayes dominated the midfield and Max Hussey put on a real clinic for all to see.

Sportsmanship was difficult to pick this week with Jack Napier, Mitchell Burn, Jackson Gunn and Yuan Maramag all displaying this value.
Awards: Best on ground - Luca Sztejman and Matilda Bootsman; Sportsmanship - George Allitt and Timothy Burge.

Kangas and Joeys:
The Kangas and Joey's have been having lots of fun refining their soccer skills. We play many fun games to practice drills, without it seeming like we are doing drills.
Some favourite games include red light green light, dribbling through the 'forest' and pirates and sailors. We even practice shooting goals.
