The Rebels U16 Development Squad performed up to expectations during last weekend’s Vic Country U16 Championships which were held in Bendigo.
The young Rebels came away from the Championships with a loss against the Dandenong Stingrays and a significant win against the Murray Bushrangers.
The 1st game against the Stingrays saw the team get away slow start due to the fact it was the 2nd time the team had played together compared to the Stingrays who have significantly spent more time together. The team unfortunately could not capitalize on their opportunities but soon realized the intensity of which the Championships were played at.
Our 2nd game saw the team play with much more intensity and confidence from their 1st game. No doubt from spending some quality time together and adjusting to the game tempo of the championship help the team come away with a significant win against the strong Murray Bushrangers.
