Central Scorpions Touch Association

Players,
Please be aware that THIS Saturday night (actually Sunday morning at 2am) , you should wind your clocks forward 1 hour. This means that we lose 1 hour and if you don't wind your clocks forward, you'll be 1 hour late to state league on Sunday!

Also note that my previous post was erroneous and the Mens are playing at 2pm and the Women are playing at 3pm this Sunday. The full fixture is shown below. Note also that the Semi Final has been changed from Tuesday 9th November to Sunday 7th November.

Don't forget your chockie money

Players,
This Sunday (31st October) is the last game of the minor round before finals commence (except Juniors). Can everyone please let me know your availability, in particular the girls as Matt is currently away? Also, if you are unavailable for any of the finals, please let me know. My email is bricemitchell@yahoo.com.au

In addition to the game this week, we will also be getting a team photo taken before the game, bring your camera if you want a photo for yourself. Please make sure you arrive in time so you don’t miss out.

With one round to go in the Minor Round, the Women won again!

Perhaps it was the weather, but I suspect it had more than a little to do with the fact that most of the team was there ready to worm up 45min before the game started!

Final result 6-4.

Notable points: Lindy and Wina - both (seperately) sent for time for backchat.

My tip - the opposition coach was fairly fired up, and might miss a game or two.

Both Mixed teams lost, the Opens going down 7 - 1, Juniors 11 - 6.

The Men also lost, 9 - 2.

Touchdown scorers were:

Phil Carter
Ashley Summers
Tracy Frith
Nicole Treleaven
Lindy Foureur
Emily Wray
Madelaine Carey
Melanie Day
Billy Macklin
Georgie Higginson
Will Sadler (2)
Jack Macklin (2)

and Yours Truly.

No game until October 31st. I'm interstate until then, so at this stage, I'll say the teams will stay the same. Anyone unavailable needs to contact me or Brice ASAP so we can shuffle players if we need to.

Later.

Please remember your chockie money this week

Congratulations to CSTA Women's (now called CSTA Sparkle Motion) for their 6-1 victory over the nasty WDTA Women.

[rant mode ON]

I was extremely disappointed by the unsportsmanlike behaviour of some of the WDTA women on Monday night. Even after having almost a week to think about it, the one incident that still stands out in my mind (partly I guess because it was right in front of me) was the woman stepping onto the field to block Maddie's full-field run. Regardless of the fact that there was another player who was catching Maddie, behaviour like this has no place in our game. I understand that the referee didn't see how blatant it was, but I would have (if I was refereeing) sent that player for a period of time. It was totally not in the spirit of competition.

[rant mode OFF]

Also, congratulations to all other Scorps players who won Grand Finals this (or, indeed, last) week. And congratulations to all those players who won divisional best & fairest: Jo Fell comes to mind.
