To Mitrovski, Thomas and Hopper - Thanks for your Junior careers at St Marys.

I said it at the start of today, we would find out where we were at - whilst our second half was very compeititve, we can not give good opposition a start like that. Next time we need to play 4 quarters. Heads up and we'll get them next time.

Round 4 - 08/05/2011 St Mary's Under 17's - Colts 3 15 .10 .100 vs. Camberwell 2 .3 .15

First game of wet weather footy and we slowly adjusted. Whilst we tackled the best for the season and were rewarded by the umpires, there are still aspects we need to work on. We need to switch from attack to defence - too many times we got caught going the other weay. Good effort - keep up the hard work.

Today started out far tougher than last week and our boys slowly eased our way into the game. We were up by 20 points at the half way mark and asked the boys to continue the effort in the 2nd half. A great 2nd half - hardest day ever to give votes. Boys - a fantastic team effort!
