Not long after Jonah scored another goal then a Jonah/ Oliver double for the next goal. Scott showed us how perfect a pass can be, straight to Oliver and he scored. Georgie dribbled the ball 3/4 the length of the field and scored her first goal for the season. Well down G. Olivia attacked strongly the whole game.

U7 Bear Cubs U7 Red Vs Honey Bears With a mixture of boys trying to contain ants in their pants and some experiencing the serenity and wonder of Max Ruddock on a Saturday morning, the start of the game was a little bit slow. Pretty soon, the boys showed good poise to send passes towards team mates and attack well. The positioning was great early with the lads finding space. This changed a bit as the game unfolded and the plan to pass was at times an afterthought. They played really well throughout and had a lot of fun. Spencer collected the player of the match award for trying hard all game, leading to his best on field effort this season. Another pleasing week. U7 Cave Vs Basil Bears Facing into the sun there for the first half the cave bears were quickly on the chase as the Basil's pushed through for the first of 7 goals. A bustling run and pass combination from Zoe & Heath got us some forward momentum with Timmy getting some early chances on goal, but an turnover gave the Basil's their 2nd goal, before the Cave's stuck back through a good combination of passing from William to Thom and to Timmy who scored. We headed into the halftime break with the Basils getting their 3rd, with Alexander doing his best to chase down the speedy Basil bears. With our backs to the sun and fresh from the halftime break, we had some good play from Jake, Heath, Thom and William but the Basil's were just too fast racing away 3 quick fire goals. The team dug deep and Tommy made 2 breakaways but was forced wide of the goal on both occasions. Zoe took a deflection to have a shot on goal, but the ball just missed. Alexander also made some great saves to stifle the speed of the Basil's. The Basils got their 7th, but the team kept giving their all right until the bell, despite the margin. The team thanked the Basil's for a tough and fast game. Thomas got player of the match for his determination to keep the Cave bears moving forward all game. Despite the loss, the team were high in spirit and we got a team photo full of smiles at the end. U7 Kodiak Vs Humphrey Bears. This week the U7 Kodiaks played the U7 Humphrey bears and met some tough competition! The Humphreys controlled the ball in the first half scoring 3 goals. The Kodiaks took advantage of their training during the week and came back in the second half. They placed themselves well on the field. Good defending from Stephen helped his team mates to drive the ball towards the goal resulting in 3 Kodiak goals by Cooper. It was an exciting game from start to finish ending in a draw.

Congratulations to Axel for being awarded 'Player of the match' for his break away down the field and an attempt at goal, despite being defended by two players. His defensive game was also strong. The best part of being a Honey Bear... the boys finish the game smiling and excited about the next week.
U7 Hunting Vs Atlas Bears It was a lovely sunny morning for our game this week and both teams were ready for a fun game. The Hunting Bears are working very well as a team, continuing to improve their skills; passing the ball to each other and spreading out for better defence. While there were a couple of times the Hunting Bears almost scored a goal, the Atlas Bears were just too strong, with one player scoring the most unbelievably skilled goals! The Player of the Match was Jonah for the first time this season, rewarded for his focus and concentration this week. Well done boys! U7 Grey Vs Grizzly Bears Another good game for the Grey Bears this week with again the Coach's training showing through in the game. The players again spread out and managed some good passes.

The Great Bears lead at the half time break, however a couple of late goals by the Grizzly s led to a draw at full time. End Result 3:3 draw. Player of the Match: Eshaan for his hunger for the ball" It was an exciting game with the Grey bears starting fast and getting out to an early lead.
