Another wet week, another round of cancellations. Fortunately, the Junior A Team played Friday night against Redlands on a synthetic field, Macquarie University Oval, Northern Field. The Shore Junior A team concluded the year in style with a commanding victory over Redlands, with many of our own players filling in for the opposition to get as many players on the field. With four goals and five behinds compared to Redland’s single behind in the first quarter, Shore dominated the game right from the start. Despite a late surge by Redlands in the fourth quarter, Drew Rennie’s two goals ensured victory. As usual, Mr Caspersonn provided excellent coaching from the sidelines, while Mr Mason-Jones made a striking presence. Watching the boys play their first game against Barker College at the start of the season, it was great to see how much they have improved and how much they are enjoying it. Well done to Archer Bailey for being named Junior A Best and Fairest and Tomas Pahor named Most Improved.
The other three matches were called off, which was a very disappointing way to finish the season, with two wash-outs in a row. The Second XVIII was eager to play against Waverley’s third division team to try and notch up their first win for the season. The First XVIII wanted the opportunity to play against a Division 1, Pool A team to really test themselves to see where we truly stood as a team in the competition. We felt this was our moment to show we should be ranked fourth out of 10 teams, which is the best Shore has been since our inaugural season back in 2016.
To formalise the end of the season, next Friday we have the traditional First XVIII AFL End of Season Function in the Emery Room, Northbridge Playing Fields. It is a great event with all the players, parents and coaches coming together to celebrate a great season. We also name the Golden Boot, Most Improved, and Lewis Roberts-Thomson Best and Fairest Award.
