GRAND FINALS WEEK 1 RESULTS
For Mounties teams, this weekend provided all the drama, highs and lows that Grand Finals can provide.
On Saturday, U14-2 and U15-3 both lost via Extra Time "Golden Goal". It was two very close games, the U14-2 being behind most of the game before equalising just before the end of normal time.
I know that the players and supporters of both the teams keenly felt the disappointment of a Grand Final loss, especially in that manner!
The U12-3 were somewhat overawed by the occasion and never quite got into the game. However, the boys should be proud of the journey they've been on - how far they've come from the beginning of the season and to make the Grand Final was a big achievement. Now they've had a taste, we hope they train even harder for next year!
Today, the Men's All Age Division 7 team had a very close Grand Final. They took an early lead, before finding themselves 2-1 down deep into the second half. The team showed tremendous self-belief and team spirit to run out winners 3-2. Unfortunately, long-term Mounties stalwart and Captain-Coach Richard Ashby was carted off by ambulance early in the game with a possibly dislocated ankle. Hopefully the team's victory will speed his recovery.
Stand by for more excitement next weekend with the Ladies AAL-2 and L18/21 in action on Sunday, followed by the U13-1, U14-1B, U14-1Y, U15-1 and U16-1 the following Saturday (24th).
Thank you to all the Supporters who turned out - the players enjoy and appreciate all your support.
