I’m Rebecca Wood, manager of the Sharks A’s. I’d just like to say a big welcome to everyone for the new season, A players and B players alike. I’ll be sending you all emails about what time to be at the games on Sundays and I’ll try to give a report on each of the games in the following week.

This week Sharks A’s and B’s made a notable entrance into the new season. The B’s led the way for the A’s, smashing the Redbacks B’s with a 9-1 win! Steve Broome, our B’s Captain should be proud of the efforts the B’s boys put in, especially Morgan Emms (1 goal, 2 assists), Nicolas Yeoh (2 goals, 1 assist) and Oli Diffen (3 goals). Our other point scorers were Steve Broome – 1 goal, Justin Blades – 1 goal, and Adrian Baster – 1 assist. A fantastic start to the new season and hopefully a foreshadow for the rounds to come! Well Done guys, all that training is really coming in handy, let’s keep it up!

The A’s faced a hard game vs the Redbacks A’s on Sunday, it was definitely a nail-biter for those on the sideline! We ended up with a win, 4-3. The score-line was 1-1, 3-0, 0-2 (Sharks – Redbacks for periods 1, 2 & 3). The first period was a bit of a shock to the system when we found the floor as slippery as ice – Mauritz can tell you all about it: he had to sit a 2min penalty for Playing Lying Down. We soon adjusted to the new conditions and had a convincing second period followed by some unlucky goals conceded in the third period. Our team Captain this year is Pat Baster, congratulations Pat. Point scorers this week were Shane Abbott – 1 assist, Mauritz Hermansson – 1 goal, David Westlund – 1 goal, Keith Tan – 1 goal, and Jimmy Laurell – 1 goal, 2 assists. Great work Sharks!

Next weeks games will be at the same time, B’s will play at 2:30, please get to Lords before 2pm and the A’s  will play at 4pm, please get to Lords before 3:30pm to warm up, team talk, etc.

That’s it from me for now. I hope to see you all at training on Tuesday night, 6:30pm at Newman College.

Cheers

Rebecca Wood
