Player of the Year Caleb Wilson
Most improved Kian Moyna
This year was our first year of tackle and the boys took to it like 'Ducks to Water'. Some
mastered the technique quicker than others but by the end of the year everyone was making
tackles. Caleb was our player of the year for his great all round play, especially in the tight
and Kian was our most improved, one of our smaller players but with a huge heart.

The under eight yellow team had a really good year only losing one game all season. We
were lucky to have a good mix of players which included a couple of X-factor players.
Given it was the boys’ first year of tackle our initial focus was on building the boys’
confidence in the tackle and helping them to understand the offside line and the ruck as much
as they can at this age.
As coaches we felt the team really developed over the year, disappointingly we did lose a
couple of players during the season one before the season started he didn’t want to play and
one during the season as he didn’t adjust to tackle and didn’t want to continue playing.
