Mixed bag for Monbulk

A REAL mixture for the six footy sides from Monbulk in Round 8, playing at Seville on a wintry day.
The Under 9s played against a strong Woori Yallock side and had a great battle.
Woori showed great skills and were a real tough competition.
The Under 10s were up against Seville, and really showed the benefit of great training, improvement and strong team play.
The coaches at Monbulk Under 10s are thrilled with the teams’ progress, and are seeing the benefit of the kids’ effort at training and great listening.
The Under 11s side faced the top-of-the table Mount Evelyn.
Having beaten them once before this season, the team went in confidently.
However, Mount Evelyn proved too strong, giving Monbulk a lesson in starting quickly and sticking to team plans.
What a game the Under 12s against Seville proved to be.
Seville really started well and took a good lead into the half-time break.
The Monbulk coaching brains-trust revved up the players and they came home in the second half hard, but couldn’t get over the line.
Seville was too strong and won by one point.
Under 14s were up against Seville on a wet and windy day and really played well.
Forty scoring shots to nil summed up the dominance of the team, and it was a great confidence builder after some tough games recently.
Hayden Finlay was in great form with five goals and his aerial skills and long kicking a highlight.
The Under 16s finished the day against Seville and dominated from the start.
Coach Hughson moved his players around and the side finished with a dominant 123-point win, with eight different goal kickers.
Travis Wills continued his red-hot form and his running ability was on display to feed the forwards.
