It was a chilly and damp Sunday at Hollymount Oval, home of the Northern Districts Tigers, as the Eagles traveled for their second consecutive away game for Auskick and Under 9's. The rain did come in the end, but held off long enough for both Eagles sides to stay relatively dry. The Tigers are one of the most all-around complete clubs in the Illawarra, fielding sides from Auskick through First Grade Seniors, so it was bound to be a challenging match.
The Auskickers had excellent turnout...it was encouraging to once again see great travelling numbers for the Eagles! They worked on skills and finished with a great game; on hand were plenty of supportive parents for encouragement.
For Under 9's, the Eagles held up well in a losing effort against a very strong and disciplined Tigers side, with the Tigers relentlessy and methodically assaulting the Eagles defence. Eagles bests for the day were Lochlan Holloway, Alec Steele, and Kurt Dawes. The Eagles once again took this as a learning experience against a very big and disciplined club...
