Last Saturday started off well at “Tractor Park” with the Under 18’s notching up a convincing win by 37pts, they are playing some great football and certainly deserved their victory – keep concentrating on the “team” disciplines and there will more wins ahead of you.

The Reserves and Seniors were completely outplayed by their Pearcedale opponents. I’m hoping that this was just “one of those days” - however it is still opportune at this time of the year for each and every player to look at their own preparation during the week and on game day. To work out what each can do to bring about improvements in the execution of foot & hand skills and the critical decision-making that will contribute to not only an improvement in your own game, but also the team’s performance.

Another bright spot in a rather dull afternoon was the performance of our netballers – The Rye Devils – who again had another good win. It was even better, in that they played at the footy ground enabling many of us to actually see them play for the first time. Good performance girls.

This weekend engage in a “local derby” against Rosebud, where matches are usually “hotly” contested. Let’s show our supporters that last week’s Reserves & Seniors results were “hiccups”, and that good teams stick together and bounce back!

Let’s aim for 4 wins this afternoon, so that we can all enjoy the Mid-Season Ball tonight at the Rye Hotel.
