It all happened at Reid Oval, Forrestfield
on Saturday morning. the heavens gave
us blue sky and warm sun when the
Grand Final kicked off at 12.10pm.
Families had turned up in droves –
parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts
and uncles – creating a sea of blue and
white in support of the chittering colours.
the year 7 team, who have worked hard
throughout the season were a little slow
to get the game under their control in the
1st quarter, but after showing some of the
excellent team-work that these boys have
become so admired for they came from
behind to be 22-9 at half time.
Hills rangers fought hard in the second
half of the match but the chittering boys
held them off and the final score was
33-16.
coach Jason Woodhouse was full of
admiration and praise for how far
the team had come in one season. He
reminded the boys of the pride that will
sink in soon after winning a Premiership,
“Its not won by just anyone, you boys are
the best, remember that, you have now
got your names in football history for your
club and it’s something to treasure well
into your adult life.”
“It’s been a pleasure being your coach and
I look forward to another awesome year –
if you’ll let me come back,” he concluded.
the team responded by erupting in a
loud cheer showing their thanks and
admiration for their coach.
Well done boys!
