Olinda Ferny Creek Football Club Juniors spread all over the Yarra Valley

The Olinda Ferny Creek Football Club U17 Boys were looking for some redemption after their math against Woori Yallock last week – and found form to seal a strong win against Belgrave out at Seville. With many new players this year, the gelling process is well underway as the team builds comradery

The U16 Girls had a great win to get their season back on track after a couple of really tough outings. Missing a coupe of key players and with some girls brand new to footy, they were able to hold their nerve against a willing Yarra Glen side and win by a point.

The U15s had a thumping win over Upwey Tecoma and are proving to be a real force in their division. Coach Scotty was really happy that it was a strong overall team performance with everyone contributing. Charlie Hooper kicked 7 goals on his debut for the red and white and Jarvis Reid seems to have his own cheer squad.

The U13 Boys couldn’t quite get the chocolates against Mt Evelyn, but the coaches were happy that they’re seeing more link-up footy resulting in scoring, especially from the younger players. Coach Spida was especially happy with Rio Neish’s chase down tackle in defence to save a certain goal.

Our wonderful U12 Girls were defeated by Wesburn but as usual had a great day and enjoyed themselves with smiles all round. Coach Jaimee is proud of their efforts and the way they all love the game.

The U10s had a bye so they supported the local kinder at the Chestnut Festival and the U9s had a terrific time under lights on Friday night at Monbulk.
