Junior Mixed Win Grand Final.
Congratulations to Nicole and all of the Juniors for a great win last night, in the WInter 2004 Grand Final. A close game (I don't think the difference was more than 1 or 2 touchdowns for the whole game), but a positive result.
The Women's Open was a slightly different story. The pressure was on the girls, with it showing in the first half. Lots of dropped balls, and various other skill errors resulted in a 2 touchdown deficit at the break. With the second half came the rain, and our comeback. Never leading, Scorps finally clawed back to a level scoreline at the end of regulation time. Another drop-off.
And it too, was a close one. Seven minutes with 3 on 3 - plenty of scoring opportunities for both sides, with some great defence from all players keeping the game hanging in the balance. A great passage of play resulted in Nicole having another scoring opportunity, but she was just touched by one of the Stingrays. Sharon Gray then came onto the field, and with fresh legs evaded our defense, and scored the winning touchdown for the 'Rays.
So, bad luck to the girls, but congratulations on having made it that far. We have shown the TouchSA community we are a force to be reckoned with, and I hope to see most, if not all, of the team fronting up again for next season.
There is a presentation lunch to be held at Cafe Villanova Cucina (Norwood) on Sunday, November 28th. Please contact Nicole on 0422 734 271 to RSVP. I hope to see lots of people there - we are using it as a fundraising exercise, also.
