P1/2s vs Lenzie

This Sunday Cumnock hosted their first home game of the season against Lenzie. With a larger squad than last week we fielded a team of five with rolling subs. Just prior to kick off the heavens opened, as a result the teams spirit dampened and concentration wained.

Throughout the first game Cumnock held their own against a spirited Lenzie team. While Lenzie was in possession the game took on a feel of American football with the ball being frequently thrown downfield. Cumnock did not let this deter them. Jamie and Ruben showcased their fantastic defensive skills and the kids worked well as a team to move the ball up the pitch while in possession. The first game finished on 3 all before coaches realised there was an extra Lenzie player on the field therefore Cumnocks five had been playing against six Lenzie players. Our tenacious micros did an exceptional job to achieve this result.

The second game took on a more structured approach with Lenzies forward passes being called back for a restart. Again Harry, Ruben and Brodie made some fantastic runs gaining ground. However, Lenzies defense had tightened up and they were proving more difficult to penetrate. One Lenzie player in particular was excellent at capitalising on any mistakes, pouncing on loose balls and streaking upfield. This put our micros under pressure however they did not disappoint. With stout defensive displays resulting in several turnovers and a determined attitude in attack the second game resulted in the second tie of the day with 3 tries each.

Going forward the P1/2 team are showing an improvement which will continue with more game experience. We have plenty to build upon during training and we are confident our mightly P1/2s will take it in their stride.

Squad: Brodie, Harry, Jamie, Joseph, Katie, Oliver, Olivia, Robyn, Ruben
