Colts Round 8 2017

Round 7 - Results and Game Review

June 19, 2017  /  Craig Markham

Hi Colts Family,
Round 7 - Colts U6s played Bondi United U6 (white) - Well we have suffered our 1st Loss for the season..... Bondi United we're to strong and quick for us this week beating us 14 tries to Colts 12 tries. We were just not there this week, we were slow and tired, and we didn't react at all when United had the ball.....

Well I have to write to the NRL for scheduling our team to play on the biggest stage we've ever played Allianz Stadium without any turn around time..... I put down our first loss to this fact alone..... All the boys seemed to enjoy themselves and have some fun especially doing hurdles over the dead ball signs...... We played Bondi United before the main game and Clovelly Crocs during the break at half time..... We easily won both games with all the boys playing well and scoring tries with ease..... The big stage didn't faze the boys, they took it all in their stride and stepped up on the big stage..... I hope all the boys and their family members that attended had fun!!!!!

A special thanks this week goes to Beau and Nixon Clark who both backed after the U5s game to help us out as we had to of our top stars on all night benders.....

Beau was outstanding playing tough and rugged giving his all and getting into everything...... Nixon was amazing showing no fear running the ball like a seasoned U6'er..... Thanks heaps boys we really appreciated your help..... Well Done!!!!!

Billy Walker I heard went back stage with Screaming Jets & Baby Animals after the Roosters Game..... No wonder he didn't turn up on Sunday..... Hope you said Gday to Gleeso and Suzie for Paul and Eben.......

Cash Parry was outstanding in defence showing great skills to bring down the United attack...... Cash is growing with confidence every game, and is starting to believe in his size and strength, Cash made several strong runs scoring 3 great tries. Well done Cash.

Koa Kelk - Was also out all night celebrating the Roosters win....... Happy Birthday for this weekend Koa...... No more all nighters please......

Brock Dalley - Spent most of the game on United's side, at one stage I thought Brock was playing for United...... Brock continued his recent form with several great runs, and scoring his 1st try, earning this weeks Merit Award...... Keep it up Brock, imagine what you could do if you spent more time on our side!!!!!

Leo Lynch - Continued his recent form playing out of his skin for the second week running..... Leo is also growing in confidence with every game, Leo made several impressive runs scoring his first try, and he continued showing us how big his heart is making several great tackles. Well done Leo!!!!!

E.T. - Also kept up his great form scoring 3 great tries this week. Keep up the great work E.T.!!!!!

Odin Goyoaga - Impressed this week with his defence and the cover tackle of the year, with a great diving tackle knocking United's best attacker (a girl) over the sideline with a copybook tackle..... Odin also managed to keep up his try scoring average again scoring 4 tries.....

Tane Goyoaga was out with Bronchiolitis and not allowed to leave the house but was still happy to smash any food on offer.....

Well done again boys. Remember stay off the beer, stay away from girls and no late nights & you'll play much better game day!!!!!! A Huge Thanks again to Beau & Nixon.....

Player of the Match - Leo Lynch Merit Award - Brock Dalley

Don't forget to come along to Koa's 6th Birthday this Saturday at Little Dynamos, 33 Maddox Street Alexandria starting at 12:15hrs

A message to the Paddington Colts U 9's from Coach Richard Thomas 

June 01, 2017  /  Craig Markham

Good afternoon everyone,
Tomorrow at 4pm at the Centennial Park Reservoir. We have been quite short of numbers in recent weeks partly due to weather so a full team at training tomorrow would be fantastic. If not can you please let me know so I can plan the session accordingly. If logistics are an issue, please let me know and I can help arrange transport.

This Sundays game 4th June

vs Liechhardt Wanderers Black

11:10am - Blackmore Oval

(Same place we played the round robin tournament)

Click Here

If we can all be there at 10:40am for a warm that would be great.

Very abbreviated weekend wrap from last Sunday vs Bondi United

We were sadly on the wrong side of the ledger despite several promising plays. As soon as we start playing as a team for a full game and stick to our basic structure we will be able to have a lot more success and a lot more fun.

Axe of the week went to Jasper Thomas for hanging on for his determination in defence despite copping a bit a nasty bruise to his shoulder at rugby the day before.

Better than Lego award went to Archie Creswick for his best game so far this year. He really improved a lot and made some great runs with the footy. This award each week is not about the best player on the paddock, its about the player who shows the most improvement, determination and commitment. So each week there is often a number of players who are strong candidates.

OUR GOAL FOR THIS WEEK

'Get to our kick, every set'

Inspired by last night's '1-short-of-perfect' completion rates by both teams in the first half (NSW 18/19, QLD 18/18).

Tomorrow I will be working with the boys on playing simple, safe footy, trusting the process and completing our sets. Good old fashioned rugby league!

See you tomorrow or on Sunday.

Cheers,
Richard Thomas
