| Round 6 - 18/05/2008 St Mary's Under 17 - Colts 2 7 .11 .53 vs. Park Orchards 10 .8 .68 |
| Total disbelief that we could come out and dominate a half of football and then capitulate. Our second half was poor and undisciplined. Not enough players prepared to do the hard stuff. Once again a few good players will not get us over the line! |
