HOW THE TEAMS ARE SAILING YEAR 5 ORANGE The Year 5 Pirates have now played 6 games, mostly at home, which is good for the parents. We have grown from 11 players at the start of the season to now currently having 15 players and with injuries and illness Rd 6 was the first time we had all 15 players on the park. We have 3 players that have never played AFL before including our only girl in the team Bekah who gives as good as the boys. Although results have not always gone our way so far this season we have always played within the spirit of the game and the players have always given 100%. Our skills are improving within every training session and have set good foundations for future seasons. At the recent local schools inter school carnival we had 10 of ours players picked for Harrisdale PS (even though it was a year 6 competition) and each player not only represented their schools, but also our club in a high standard. KEEP IN TOUCH!!! We can be proud of the year 5 Pirates as the oldest playing group at the club and they give the younger players someone local to look up too. Coach Greg Webber
