Disappointing that the wet of last week put paid to much of our round 2 action in the Maroochy RSL Club AFL Sunshine Coast Juniors play on Sunday April 5.
On Thursday evening of last week, the rain ruined the start to our under 8s and 10s season as their season opening carnival was put on ice for a few weeks. The carnival will now be played back at the woods on Sunday 26th April.
A few grounds were put in jeopardy late last week, and then we awoke Saturday morning to find the Palmwoods ground of Nambour & Hinterland Blues due to host three Cracker Jack junior AFL games, three foot under water. Rumour had it that one high ranking Nambour & Hinterland member was keen for some water skiing. With some other venues still up in the air as to their availability, a rushed decision was made to cancel all scheduled Sunday Junior AFL action.
This decision to cancel at our Youth level is something we dont make lightly, as AFL footy is the game for all under near all circumstances. Skill levels and game plans are all tested under such circumstances and in the interest of player development and being a winter sport players need a variety of conditions to challenge them.
Friday evening saw us sneak three of six scheduled matches in at Noosa and Glasshouse Hinterland venues, however all three games were unfortunately one sided. Player skill levels in handling and disposing of the footy are tested under such circumstances and often the cream rises to the top. But still the hard at it, in and under players can thrive in such conditions where strength and commitment are also fine attributes.
So after juggling a few needs, the lost matches of round 2 are now rescheduled for Sunday 19th April. So players stay fit over the school Easter holidays, stay in touch with the beloved Sherrin, and importantly dont overdo the Easter eggs (you could just simply bring them our way and save your fitness).
