Footy Match Report from Adelaide ...

Mr Maaser has just emailed in the footy match report.  Photo to follow.

Footy yesterday was in horrendous conditions. Heavy wind favouring one end and a massive downpour of rain for 2 quarters. 
Girls started really slowly giving up 3 goals in first quarter. But we only gave up 1 goal for the rest of the game.
Unfortunately we lost 2.3 (15) to 4.0 (24). We had all the play in the second half and against the wind in the last quarter which was played entirely inside our forward 50 but we just couldn't snag a goal.
Georgie was huge in the ruck all game! Dana a standout (mvp) running through the middle and breaking tackles. Well supported by Maddie. Margo and Angeline were on the bottom of every pack getting the ball forward. Play of the game was Margo getting a free kick on the 50m line, passing inside 50 to Faith and then she went back and hit Angeline in the goal score who finished off with a goal. 3 smallest players working together.
Kav played a kick behind the ball to perfection. Alice, Annie and Elena at full back was rock solid! Amelia (y9) was excellent off half back flank. Clean and quick with the ball.
Lea, Lavina and Emma (all y9) were setting the example in the second quarter by being on the bottom of every pack and a tackling machine taking on their biggest players. Jenny and Vic (who kicked our other goal) played a kick ahead of the footy and kept the ball moving forward. This was where Christina and Faith and Ash just locked the ball in.
I thought we were really going to come over the top and win and so did their coaches. Great contest and very proud of the girls in the awful weather.
Will send you a photo later when i get one from the girls.
