Round 6

Round 6 was full of tricky conditions as severe winds accompanied with the odd rain shower. Faced with these conditions, the students showed some great resilience throughout all the games. The 9/10 Boys came up against Deloraine High School and were able to secure another win. The final scores were Prospect 75 : Deloraine 10. Coach Andrews suggested that the highlight of the game was Lachlan Howard’s huge goal which was kicked from the centre circle whilst on the run.

The 7/8 Boys A team were somewhat undermanned with around 6 players being unavailable to play, but this did not put an end to the team’s unbeaten season so far. The team were up against the St Patricks College grade 7 team. and the final scores were Prospect 61 : St Patricks 36. Preston Rey was damaging in the forward line kicking 4 goals, whilst Grade 7 boys, Koby White and Jacob Tronerud, played their best games for the season, showcasing their ongoing development as the season progresses.

The 7/8 Boys B team won against Queechy High school. Final Scores were Prospect 133 : Queechy 8. The win was the team's second 100 point plus win in as many weeks. The difficult weather conditions certainly did not slow the team down in their efforts to pile on goal after goal.

The 9/10 Girls had a big win in their game which included a winning margin of over 60 points.  

Round 7

Round 6 for the 7/8 Boys A games involved a tough opponent in Scottsdale High School. In a shortened game, the boys continued with their unbeaten season with a 47-20 win. One of the more pleasing aspects of the afternoon was that the team continued to get better as the game went on. Beau Henry was outstanding as he led from the front with his actions by attacking the ball, whilst Preston Rey was lively in the forward line again kicking 3 goals.

The 9/10 Girls team played Scotch Oakburn at Scotch Oakburn Park in cold conditions. It was a great opportunity for our team to play on a large ground with eighteen players per side. The tackling, kicking and marking was at a high level. Coach Bergamin was super proud of all the students for their determination and good sportsmanship.  Scotch Oakburn won the game, however, our students were terrific. Special mention must go to Grace Payne Turner and Taja Richardson who were outstanding all game.
