FLIPPA BALL - THE WARRIORS - YEARS 5 & 6 - 25TH JUNE 2018

The Warriors experimented with the strikers and it seemed to work; there was better communication and positional play. The defenders did an outstanding job at making the opposition work hard to get any decent shots at goal. The final score was 14-2 to Wentworth. Player of the Day was Rosa Clark for excellent playing, both on defence and on attack.

FLIPPA BALL - YEARS 3 & 4 - MARLINS - 25TH JUNE 2018

We were missing some players but the team adjusted and did their best. Our defence was solid, especially the goal keeping. The strikers got limited ball but did have some shots to goal. Unfortunately, none of these were converted into points and Wentworth lost 6-0.  Player of the Day was Sophie Imparato for very good defensive work.

It was Wentworth vs Wentworth this evening.  The Asteroids won and the Rockets lost.  It was 17-7.  The Player of the Day was Alexander Kawan for the most points scored and for his defence and attack.  It was a good game bus some people did unfortunately get hurt, but I think everyone enjoyed it!  The Rockets were lucky enough to get either 2 or 3 penalty shots.
