Well with the first few rounds of both the local schools and the Broncos challenge out of the way its time for a bit of a look at how things are going and a general update of all things "FOOTY".

In the local schools competition the 13 A's are travelling along well and are unbeaten thus far, as are the 14B's who have had some high scoring victories over some spirited opponents. The 15's are not unbeaten but still top their comp and should feature in the crossover finals.

 

In the Monday night Titans competition the Open A side had a good win over Coombabah and look like the side to beat. Mr Stephens has been happy with their structure and the way the have stuck to their basic yet effective game plan.

 

The Titans B side did not fair so well against a strong Marymount side who showed discipline and got away with a lop sided 30-6 win.

Coach Mr Hart was far from impressed with this result as although the boys did not deserve to win, they could have stemmed the tide. Hopefully next week will see a turn around in attitude. "We cant complete one set out of eight and have zero props taking the ball up and expect to stand even half a chance " he said. "We will need to stick to our basic  game plan and play basic football if we are to build a platform for the later stages of the competition" he added.

 

In the Struddys competition which is the Open B comp. Mr Richard's side have shown good composure and discipline to remain unbeaten against some much bigger and more fancied opposition. These results really do prove that a well coached side who sticks to a basic game plan and does the little things right consistently will prevail over less structured more fancied sides.

 

 

The Opens are also unbeaten having gained wins over Mountain Creek, Marsden and Wavell with the big test coming up against Palm Beach in a few weeks. Vaha Pulu and Ben Murdoch are showing good form early on and hooker Dean Parata seems to have slotted in to the side well.
