COACH'S MATCH REPORT:

 Round 13

Fitzroy 6.5.41pts Defeated by Warrandyte 10.11.71pts

Having negotiated the longest “away” journey on the fixture our boys started confidently against a side with plenty of size. Some outstanding individual efforts by Fitzroy players demonstrated great courage and determination, marks taken running back with the fight of the ball and fantastic persistence against the odds in the backline.

Our team all tried their hardest right to the end and are to congratulated for their efforts. The same applies for the whole season, in which every Fitzroy player can say they did their best. Everyone can feel well satisfied with a season that perhaps didn't bring as many wins as hoped for, but in which all players had a chance to develop their all-round games as well as being able to enjoy their football with their mates.

It should also be noted that right through the season all our boys have upheld the standards of behaviour that FJFC is renowned for, something that all their families should be very proud of.

Well done to all the boys and we hope to see everyone back next year.

Parent's Match Report

This week's game against a much bigger Warrandyte side was yet another example of the way in which the U11 Golds have played all season – full of heart, determination and never-say-die attitude.

 

The team showed they weren't going to be beaten without a fight when Daniel Costanzo took one of the bravest marks for the season in the first minute of the game before passing to Adam Castillo who kicked the team's first goal.

 

And while the quarter time score showed that Warrandyte had gotten going to post 3 goals, it was not without having to work hard for each of those goals. Harrison Leech, Aiden, Lachlan and Riley all showed their usual ability in moving the ball from the centre or keeping it from moving to their attacking area.

 

The second quarter was the Roys finest for the day. Harry D-T shone against boys towering over him, while the two Bens moved the ball fast and furiously along the wings. Emile was willing to crunch the ball (and the odd player) whenever required in the centre and Harry P, Fraser and Max were tireless in defence.

 

And then when the ball was moved forward by our boys, Floyd was there to mark and kick truly for a sensational goal. At the end of the quarter, both sides had added 1.1 to their tallies.

 

The second half was much more Warrandyte's as their height and marking ability and long, long kicking came to the fore, but our boys refused to give in. Daniel Costanzo started the third quarter with another goal in the first minute. And Anthony Perri showed no reluctance to play hard after bravely returning from a bad knock to his neck.

 

Ben C capped off a fine passage of play, involving Harry D-T and Aiden, with a strong goal. And despite being carried off after a bad knock to his knee, Harrison was back on within minutes and into the play again. Another move forward by Christian to Ben M was only thwarted by the three quarter time siren.

 

The last quarter was again dominated by Warrandyte until Christian decided to show them that the U11 Gold team will never lay down by kicking the last two goals of the day and our season.

 

Well done to all the boys who played this season in a difficult competition against other clubs who don't choose their Gold teams on friendship groups as our team was. They should take great heart from the fact that they were always competitive against these teams.

 

Well done to Dick and Steven for another great season and to all the parents who helped out during the season. It's probably only about 7 months to next season!!
