Round 15 - 09/08/2009 St Mary's Under 15 - Div 4 3 .0 .18 vs. Park Orchards 14 .7 .91
A poor start saw us 38 points down at quarter time. After some "words of wisdom" at quarter time, you all started to show alot more effort. If we could have wiped the scoreboard at half time, the end result would have been 5 goals to 3. A fantastic 2nd half. You have been a pleasure to Coach: and I look forward to watching you play next year.
