Wynton Rufer 2016, 9th Grade report
"The sun shone mostly, the wind was light and the ground not boggy... Wynton Rufer had set up for a great day out!
Our A team, the Sharks had a wonderful run through the rounds and the semi-final. They played the day with only one substitute player and we know a grueling day of six games of football for these guys is a big ask. They did however have a great day, playing really well and enjoying themselves and their game.
The final was a repeat of last year against Wests and unfortunately this year, it was not our turn, losing 0 - 1. It's fair to say that the Sharks were pretty down about it, but they dusted themselves off and went home proud after a long exhausting day.
The B team, the Torpedoes, did not have the luck of the draw and were out on their feet by the end of the day. They played really well through the rounds, losing just once, and ended up 4th equal. it came down to a one point goal difference on who would progress to the semi-finals and they ended the day, a very well played 5th.
These guys had a big step up in performance from their last year's competition and who knows what might have happened if that goal differential had been different. Heading home was another tired and happy team.
We'll be back next year, vying for that trophy Wynton Rufer!"
