Round 15 - 09/08/2009 St Mary's Under 15 - Div 3 5 .9 .39 vs. Fitzroy 5 .6 .36
A super, fighting win by the boys who never gave up all day. Tough, windy conditions saw the boys struggle with the conditions. A close fought game saw the opposition really challenge and take it right up to us. The boys never gave up and got involved in the contest to grind out a gutsy, well earned win.

Round 14 - 02/08/2009 St Mary's Under 15 - Div 3 4 .7 .31 vs. Banyule 10 .13 .73
Tough game against ladder leaders in windy conditions. Won the first quarter, kicking with the wind. Struggled to man up at times which cost us on the score board. Finished the game strongly, fighting the game out to the end. Game ended before time due to one of our boys sustaining a serious leg injury. We wish Tom Archibald all the very best and a speedy recovery.

Round 13 - 26/07/2009 St Mary's Under 15 - Div 3 13 .7 .85 vs. Greythorn 9 .6 .60
Expected a tough game by the 3rd placed team and we certainly got it. A great 1st quarter by the boys who got their heads over the footy. Continued on in the same vain in the 2nd quarter to have a well deserved lead at half time. The boys won th 3rd quarter to take the intensity to the start of the last. We expected to be challenged and we were. The opposition closed to within a kick and a half and kicking with the wind had their tails up. Our boys answered the challenge and kicked away by 26 points.

Round 11 - 12/07/2009 St Mary's Under 15 - Div 3 9 .6 .60 vs. Ivanhoe B 8 .8 .56
Great first quarter, setting the tone early to establish a small lead at quarter time. Disappointing second quarter where the boys let themselves down, not being accountable for their man. The third quarter saw the boys really respond to win the quarter well and set up a thrilling final term. To the boys credit they continued on from the third quarter effort and fought out a well deserved, hard-fought win. Sticking to the team rules gave the boys a well earned result.

Round 9 - 21/06/2009 St Mary's Under 15 - Div 3 14 .9 .93 vs. Canterbury 10 .4 .64
After a lackluster performance last week, a better effort was needed today. The first quarter set to tone with both sides going in hard for the ball, with scores level at half time it was anybody game. Fortunately persistance paid off and we got over the line. A great team effort by all. Well done boys.

After a poor start, we showed some improvement in the 2nd quarter to be just in front at half time. A great 3rd quarter by Fitzroy set the game up for a good finish. Fitzroy did what we should have, ran in numbers and ran hard. Congratulations on a good win.

Round 4 - 10/05/2009 St Mary's Under 15 - Div 3 15 .8 .98 vs. Ivanhoe 6 .5 .41
A long time coming, but a great win by the boys. As usual it was a hard fought game against Ivanhoe. With both sides hard at it, fortunately our side held on after some tense moments in the 2nd quarter. I felt our side deserved the win and our season changed for the better. Every player did their bit which is all a Coach: can ask for. Let's train hard and play hard.

Round 2 - 26/04/2009 St Mary's Under 15 - Div 3 1 .1 .7 vs. Bundoora 7 .15 .57
Off to a poor start due to pressure from opposition. A much better second half with most player contributing in some way. Our run was gone as we tried to play dry weather footy on a day fit for penguins. As long as we learn from this it wasn't a wasted experience.

Round 1 - 19/04/2009 St Mary's Under 15 - Div 3 5 .3 .33 vs. St Damians 14 .9 .93
After starting the game with 16 players, the boys put in 100% effort to be only 2 goals down at half time. St Damians to their credit eveed up and I thought her we go, we're a chance! The boys gave everything they could but just weren't good enough on the day. Training I expect will improve this week and I'm looking forward to a good season.
