Thanks for a great season boys. You are a fantastic bunch of boys and you’ve been a pleasure to coach. Good luck to all of our teams playing in finals. Go Burra!
Announcements:
We started the day with 19 players and finished in the last quarter with 17 on the field. Two injuries out of round 13 meant that the boys would be doing a lot of running on what is a large home ground for Bulleen-Templestowe. A number of the boys were given an opportunity to play in new positions and they did a fantastic job adapting. The boys persisted all day and worked hard for each other. We had a lot of the play and managed to keep the ball in our forward line for much of the game. Bulleen-Templestowe were determined to clog our forward line which made scoring difficult. In the end, we fell short by one point. Let’s all get to training and support each other as we prepare for the final round of the home and away season next week boys.

A good win today boys against a Greythorn side that refused to go away. Your efforts in the first half setup a healthy lead that Greythorn were unable to peg back despite trying all game. A much needed win today guys and one that keeps us in touch with the ladder leaders.
