Well Day 2 has come and gone with mixed results.
The Under 16s had a good win over Omeo & District, whihc has gained themselves a spot in Sunday's Grand Final. In what was a terrific team effort today, the boys were able to continue to build on the good win over Bairnsdale from the day before to have 22 scoring shots to 13, and come away with a 34 point win.
The Under 16s now play Sale at the main Sale ground on Sunday at 1.15pm against Sale, so they will be looking to reverse the result of the first game. Good luck boys!
The Under 14s today played some great footy and capitalised on an improved effort and team work to have two good wins and finsiht he carnival in thrid position. First game of the day was against Bairnsdale, and dominated from the very outset, controlling most of the play and being able to score at both ends of the ground and have a handy 41 point victory. The second game against Warragul was just as good, with a very even first half and elading by 7 points. The third quarter was when they made their move, adding 3 goals 5 to no score to hold a match-winning lead, extending this to 38 points at the end of the game to finish on a high!
The Under 12s put in a solid effort against a much bigger Bairnsdale team in their first game today, but found the going a little tough, unable to create any scoreboard pressure and going down in valant effort. In the second game, they displayed a great approach, looking for a win and were duly rewarded by their efforts, managing to kick straight than the opposition that would prove critical, getting the points with a hard fought 4 point win, and finishing the carnival in fourth spot.
On behalf of the TDJFL, we thank the the players for their efforts, the coaches in Steve, Andrew and Kevin for all of their time, along with their helpers, to put our three players out there to compete. A big thank you to Jeff Beaver and Glenn Duncan for their organisation from start to finish, and we wish the Under 16s all the best in their endeavours of beating Sale in the Grand Final.
