Scotty Bull, Valerie Garcia, Lily Hibbert, Kirby McConnon ,Tina Ramadge, Gary Wakefield and Lyndon Williams.

**﻿Week 5 Game Report **

**﻿ ** In brilliant sunshine, Team 11 still brought the heat during today’s round-robin competition. After starting the season undefeated (last week winning two from two) the pressure was on for the team to continue to perform. With the inclusion of Lyndon in the team this week, the team was almost at full strength, missing only Valerie.

After a coaching session from Lily, focusing on tactics of attack and shooting, the team was well prepared to take on their rivals. SEVEN11 faced Team 8, Team 4 (Pink Panthers), Team 3 and Team 9.

With all players performing exceptionally well, with great team spirit and sportsmanship it was hard to single out any players as best on ground. Lily was excellent all over the field, particularly with her man-marking, aggressive defending and flashes of brilliance in front of goal. Incidental contact by Lily left an opposition with a swollen ankle, however Lily is unlikely to face the tribunal. In her role as Captain this week, Lily was influential rallying the team together after conceding their only goal, to spirit the team to another win. Kirby was excellent in attack as well as defence, gaining vital interceptions and winning possession. Often combining with Gary to move the ball quickly through the centre corridor, resulting in goals. Gary provided support in defence, making explosive breaks up the wing with Kirby, resulting in quick goals. After a solid pre-season Gary looks to be a vital player in the team. Tina used her netball experience and made a large impact on the game, her impressive fitness and ball control helped SEVEN11 gain their four wins. In her excitement of the game, Tina started calling players by her friends names on her netball team! Lyndon took on roles in both defence and attack, occasionally making a break up-field. Played well, however struggled to keep his feet the majority of the time on the sand-based surface. Our fearless goalkeeper again displayed how valuable he is to the team, only conceding 1 goal in today’s four matches. Some say he shaves every morning, and has a moustache by lunchtime, others say he is the recarnation of the German Handball team that won the Handball World Cup over 5 times...all we know is he’s called Scotty Bull! The team lacked any tall players able to shoot, however Gary, Lyndon, Kirby and Lily were able to find the net. Hopefully next week, Valerie will be back, and the team will be at full strength to continue their quest for finals!

Injuries: Nil Reports: Nil

Sitting pretty on top of the ladder after 2 weeks of the competition, SEVEN11 is looking forward to next week, and of course coupling the practical work with it’s underlying SEPEP academic theory.

Bring the hype! SEVEN 11

Week 7 Game Report

After a week of rest SEVEN11 were keen to get out on the field and continue our undefeated streak!.

2 players down today, Tina (in bed sick with a cold) and Lyndon (out with an ankle injury), it was lucky we were working on defense in the coaching session. The intense session run by coach of the day Kirby left us feeling prepared and excited for the first match of the day.

Unfortunately this was not the case. Our first game resulted in a nil all draw the first time we have not scored! The second game came and went and with it came the first loss for SEVEN11.

Despite a rocky start to the day we were determined to come out with a win. Kirby lead the team as we started to play or quick paced game and increased the defensive pressure.

After missing out in week 5 Val was getting plenty of the ball and assisting in offense all over the field. Scotty again was spectacular in goals and provided support up the field in attack. Poor sick Gaz worked hard all day and was a key defender, even having a game in GK! Kirbs was a star across the field, stealing possession and running the ball fast! Lily was a little slow to start but came good in the last 2 games.

Looking forward to next week, hopefully at full strength and back in the game!

Look out! SEVEN 11

**Week 8 Game Report **

After mixed results in week 7, team Seven-11 were out to make amends and put some wins back on the scoreboard and a greater level of consistency across all games this week. A couple of changes to the line up after last week with Tina and Lyndon back into the side, and Kirby (omitted) and Val (injured) out of the side. Starting with Lyndon’s great coaching session with a real focus on fast breaks and ball movement patterns in game play, the results of this were immediately obvious!

Playing against team 7, who were short on numbers but had all their big guns in, it was a great contest to start the week off. Gary bobbed up with a hat-trick and Lily chipped in with one, but it was the fast ball movement from defence into attack that was the highlight. This was directed brilliantly by Lyndo in goals. S. Bull was relishing the freedom around court, Tina’s energy and passing ability to link up in fast breaks was great, Lily seemed to have found the form that made her a goal scoring machine early on, and Gaz seemed to have found his range and actually troubled the scoreboard, with a 4-1 result a great start to the morning.

Game two against the Cupcakes was the tester, as they were the only team to have beaten us to this point. The message was clear from the outset – Seven-11 were on and it meant trouble for the cupcakes. A 5-0 drubbing resulted and showed Seven-11 will play a major role in finals this season. A great all-round team performance.

Game three was against team 5 who we had drawn nil all against in week 7. A powerful unit with some big guns, team 5 were competitive but unable to match an in form Seven-11 outfit. Lyndo continued to shrug off his ankle injury, even to the point of returning Scotty to goals, who continued to be the premier goalie in the competition, Gaz worked hard and contributed, and Tina and Lily were great on the wings and utilising their pace to set –up numerous fast breaks. Tina even got so excited as to the teams performance that she took team bonding another step with a congratulatory pat on the backside to a team member (she was aiming for the lower back apparently) – good thing we’re all friends in Seven-11!

Game four was the only hiccup for Seven-11’s day. The energy, intensity and work rate disappeared, and saw the second loss of the season occur to a very competitive team 3. It could be put down to a lull after the earlier rematch games that were played, but can’t take away the performance of team 3 in this one. We all know that improved consistency of effort will be required after the break to try sweep through the games as we did in weeks one and two of competition. With Val hopefully back from injury, and Kirby finding some form in the magoo’s, both are expected back for week 9, and all players being rested with the easter break, there are big things on the horizon for Seven-11.

Here we come! SEVEN 11

**Week 9 Game Report **

Week 9 is a week that team Seven-11 are wanting to forget real quick! After a good start to the morning with the coaching session run by Val (who did very well with the limited number of players at her disposal), the morning turned sour after that. The In’s and Out’s for this week are as follows: In: Garcia Out: Bull Kirby was again left out of the side, this time for disciplinary reasons, and is likely to return next week which shapes as season defining for Seven-11, with the prospect of putting a full strength team on the park for the first time since the second week of competition. In great sunshine, and up against an under-manned team 6, hopes were high to kick off with an early win. Unfortunately, a draw was all that could be mustered (and thanks to a dubious umpiring decision that dis-allowed an opposition goal) we were lucky to get away with a draw. That was just about the highlight of the day for Seven-11. Game two against Team 8 was the start of a string of losses for Seven-11. Against a team that had only three available players (thanks to Tina and Lily for filling in for a half each!) we were unable to capitalise on our number advantage, and suffered our first loss of the day. Tina scored her first goal, who it was for is unimportant, well done Tina! Some serious questions were raised about the fitness of Lyndo as a result of this game, and whether he is 100% fit (lol). After the first loss of the day, confidence was waning and up against team 6 again, they had our measure in the rematch. Seven-11 went goal for goal until a late goal to team 6 sealed their victory and we had to come to grips with two losses in a row for the first time this season. Game four against the Cupcakes looked promising, and leading 1-0 at halftime was really encouraging, with some great efforts by Val in goals stopping them hitting the scoreboard. Late in the second half, the Cupcakes hit the scoreboard, and then the lead with Seven-11’s severe lack of height being exposed. A real positive was the work rate of all players to continue to press forward and put pressure on the opposition, we were just unable to hit the back of the net in this game, even though we had the majority of the play. Wanting to put a positive spin on a week we want to forget, let’s make this the season defining round, the turning point in the season for Seven-11, as we look to get back on track for finals in a couple of weeks! With the prospect of a full team, all players fit and healthy, and a string of losses to fuel us into next week, let’s get the enjoyment and motivation for competition back that has made us a dominant force this season, which will return us to a serious finals threat in coming weeks! Go Seven-11! *Reminder we are umpiring next week for the last two games! We'll be back! SEVEN 11 Week 11 Match Report He last coaching session was held by Scotty, who illustrated the need for improving our accuracy and passing effectiveness, specifically by using targets in the goal and increasing the shooting distance

Seven11 utilized the first match as a warm up, not taking the other team seriously, resulting in a close and hard fought nil all draw

Charging from this, Seven11 smashed the competition, with two clear wins from behind, thanks to the valuable team work of, Lily, Gary and Lyndon in supplying pressure on the defense. Scotty proved again that he is the best goalkeeper in the competition, due to the power of his moustache

However the last game was a struggle, with Seven11 going down in fighting form, perhaps conserving energy to take the finals

Only time will tell! (sorry guys i cant find the one i did, so i improvised!)
