Round 10 – 24/07/2010

This week the under 10’s Jerrabomberra Bakers Delight met Weston Creek at Stirling. The boys took a while to warm up after the school holiday break with a slow start in the first quarter.

Some great handballing skills by Stephen Cantwell in the back line saved many of Weston Creeks forward movements. Jack Ross was inspirational in the second quarter showing great courage and skill in shutting down Weston Creeks attack. An inspirational half time talk by coach Heath Ross got the boys going forward with Trent Buchanan and Tom McNamara teaming well in the forward line.

Tom Porter managed a terrific goal with Jack McNamara putting on a great Sheppard to put him in the clear. Daniel Brown again stopped Weston Creek from scoring on several occasions while Jamie Edwards had a fantastic overall game.
