Another great round of games today. Despite the emotions of the Grand Finals, all the Mounties players carried themselves admirably, in defeat as well as victory.

Mounties u13-1 capped off a stellar year with a clear 2-0 win in the Grand Final. Great work by all the players, the coaching and support group and the team's supporters!

After the 13-1s, every game was close.

Mounties 14-1Y had a very close game in the Shield Cup. Down an own goal early and then 0-2 despite having over 70% of the possession, they worked their way back into the contest. They were denied an equaliser in the last 2 minutes by an overreach by the AR. The players were gutted to lose 1-2 but should be proud of their performance. It was a cruel blow. Life goes on and the boys and their coaches carried themselves with dignity.

Mounties 14-1B played well in another tight contest and eventually took the lead. The team stayed strong and kept their concentration to win 1-0. The team was unsuccessful in the final of the State Cup so this was a well-earned consolation. They are worthy Premiers, along with the other winning Mounties sides.

Mounties u15-1 had a seesawing contest, one that also saw a last minute AR decision decide the result. Mounties missed a penalty early and then went 0-1 down, then came back to lead 2-1 before a lapse in concentration allowed an equaliser. The eventual result was a 2-3 loss after a cruel intervention by the sideline official in the last minute. The team played an excellent brand of football and perhaps deserved a better outcome - but that's life and sport! We pick ourselves up and go again...

Mounties u16-1 won the Minor Premiership by a long way but a Grand Final is always a different contest... The half-time score reflected this at 0-0. Mounties eventually took the lead but the opposition worked hard and was able to equalise. Mounties rose to the challenge and ran out winners 2-1.

Congratulations to all of the Mounties sides this year. There was a lot of footballing progress made and we hope the improvements keep happening!

Thank you to all of our coaches and managers - they are all volunteers who put their time and passion into preparing the players to play sport on the weekend, and for some of them to go on to play and even win finals!

Third and final week of Grand Finals. Five Mounties sides in action. Could be a scorcher!

All games are on Saturday at Ernie Smith Reserve, Kelso Crescent, Moorebank. Parking can be busy - if necessary, there is street parking and also a second car park accessed from Junction Rd (off Heathcote Rd).

For Mounties teams, this weekend provided all the drama, highs and lows that Grand Finals can provide.
