GRAND FINALS AND END-OF-YEAR ROUND-UP
Congratulations to all Mounties teams and supporters for getting through the on-off-on again season! Thank you also to SDSFA for helping organise it all under challenging circumstances.
Congratulations to Mounties teams that made the finals and the Grand Finals and the Winners!
U12-4 (Development squad of mostly U11 players. Minor Premiers)
U13-1 (Bested a Football Academy side of hand-picked players!)
U14-1 (Minor Premiers, comfortable winners on the day)
U14-2 (Strong all year and played a great Grand Final)
U15-1 (Undefeated Minor Premiers, played a great Grand Final)
U15-2Y (Strong all year but saved their best for the Grand Final)
The teams that were unsuccessful all had very close games and with a little bit more luck (and straighter shooting 🙏) would have won - U12-1, U16-1 Shield, U18-1, LAA-2.
What does it mean to win a Grand Final? At a basic level it means scoring more goals than the other team in one very specific game. Not such a big deal in the big picture of life, but very sought after on the day! Remember, not winning does not reflect on a person's character - a lot of things have to go right to win. One team can have 10 good chances and not score, or make one simple mistake and lose... In life it is more important to be a good person than to be good at sport - and if you work hard you can be both!
Those who have been part of the Mounties Community for a few years will remember one year we had 15 teams in Grand Finals and only two wins! So, one must take the ups as well as the downs in stride. This year we were 6 from 10, with all of the losses being razor thin - 0-1 or 1-2 or losing to a last-minute goal. It may have been heartbreaking for players, coaches and supporters but we hope they enjoyed being part of a team, of striving together for a common purpose.
Congratulations to all our Mounties players across ALL teams and extra applause for those with a Grand Final Cup. We look forward to welcoming everyone back again next season. Keep an eye on the web page and Facebook page for trial dates in January and February.
Stand by for announcements about Presentations. Sorry we have not finalised it all yet but as you know in 2020 it can't be indoors as it usually is. It will have to be at the park and we will let you know the details soon. Thank you for your support - the Club is what YOU make it!
