Saturday Morning Footy enjoys beautiful weather


After last week's pouring rain, it was great to have beautiful sunny weather for Saturday Morning Footy. The program began with the under 8s and the under 12s going through basic skills of handball and kicking. Then after warm up games, the under 8s had a game of "punt" ball (like kick ball except you punt the ball) while the U12s played "ulitimate footy" (like Ultimate except with kicking and handpassing).





The U8s plus parents and the U12s played a game between the Eagles and the Blues. For the U8s, Luka and Max starred for the Eagles. In the U12 game it was a close contest with the Blues taking it with a late goal to Phillip after marking in the square. Katie was excellent for the Blues getting the ball out of the pack to Nathan who scored coming off the backline and Braedan was great in defense. For the Eagles, CJ and Brendan worked well together and Aidan was a rock in defense.

Big thank you to former Eagle and Canadian National team representative, Rob Brunton, for coming out and coaching the junior Eagles.

NEXT: Saturday July 11 at 9am at Bluemont Park.
