This week the Falcons played the Red Beach Comets in an exciting but challenging match. At half-time, the Falcons had left themselves with a lot of work to do but in the second half, they played brilliantly. With tight marking and fast passing, they were soon back on scoring form and Red Beach found it difficult to match their pace.  Nevertheless, the Comets just managed to hold onto their lead until the final whistle. Blake Fortzer-Bezar was named Player of the Day for excellent positioning but the whole team deserves praise for their gritty determination in the second half of the match.

The Player of the Day was Brodie Cruse for controlled and generous passing to other team members.

Another tough game for the Falcons on Tuesday, against the NHFM Cobras, who had previously beaten them.

In the second half of the game, the Cobras managed to regroup and gain control of the score, finishing as the winners. Nevertheless, a superb effort by the Falcons with Blake Fortzer-Bezar named as Player of the Day for all-round excellence.
