Lakers find their feet
CORANGAMITE Hockey’s under 18 side battled well against a strong Mariners team last Friday night.
With the team down a couple of players, Maisie, Jarrah and Nate (a possible new member) filled in and all did a great job.
The Mariners didn’t dominate as they had in other games as the Lakers have found their feet again.
The new blend of teammates has worked well and they take it to any team each week, growing stronger and working harder for the ball week in and week out.
Despite being two goals down going in to the last, Jarrah scored a great goal.
The Mariners scored another quick one early but then play was relatively even after that.
Lakers tried to get it to the other end several times but to no avail.
Some amazing play from Lachie and Henry, that begun with a brilliant pass from Nate, resulted in a goal from Henry.
Final score of the night was 4-2 to the Mariners.
The ‘You Rock’ award went to Henry for his consistent contribution and flexibility as a player.
As a young player stepping in to the under 18s, Henry has found his place and has now scored two goals this season.
Honourable mentions to Quinn on goals, Nate on his first under 18 game and to sisters Maisie and Ava for their hard work and team play.
Corangamite’s under 15s battled it out against the Mariners in what was a thrilling, evenly-matched contest right to the final whistle.
Both teams showed great skills, determination and teamwork, with the 3-all scoreboard reflecting how close the game was.
Congratulations to all Corangamite players who did a great job sharing the ball around, working together and creating some great opportunities.
The ‘You Rock’ award went to Jacob Van Bemmel.
In the under 12 competition, the two Corangamite teams went head to head in what was a great contest, with plenty of involvement from all players and a friendly rivalry between teammates and friends.
Congratulations to Magnus who scored his first-ever goal, which was also the first goal of the match.
Player of the Match was Adele Currell who contributed well throughout the game.
