A-GRADE REPORT SEATON 22 14 146 PEMBROKE KINGS 9 3 57 Goal Scorers - T. Evans – 4, M. Falzon – 2, S. Fischer – 1, S. Lawrence, J. Pinkney Best Players - H. Thring, A. Catford, T. Evans, H. Nicholson, J. Pinkney Unfortunately another disappointing result on the weekend against Seaton Ramblers. We went into game with 4 changes which unfortunately seems to be the season average. An old coach once mentioned that excuses are like 'backsides', everyones got them! (actually he said something else but i have cleaned it up for the purpose of the email. Having said that it would be difficult for our supporters to comprehend why our results have been so poor particularly after a winning start to the season. On Saturday we got beaten by 10 goals to a side we defeated in the first round. Since our first match, the clubs depth has been tested losing Canny, Franklin, Panelli (our entire center square from the season opener),Grigoul and Brackenridge. In the next two weeks we lose centre half forward Matt Falzon and full back Henry Nicholson to overseas commitments. This means only one thing. Opportunities! On Saturday it was the youngest side that we have put on the park with 15 of the 21 'A grade' players under the age of 22. Of these 15, at least 12 have played less than 10 games of A grade football for the Pembroke Kings. I say this not as an excuse but to try to give our supporters some context as to our results so far this season. Opportunities will continue to come and i have been pleased with the improvement shown by a number of the younger players. On Saturday our inexperience showed with the stronger bodies of Seaton winning the contested ball which invariably created opportunities down the ground. Harry Thring has been one of the big improvers this season and he once again led the way with a best on ground performance. Tom Evans has continued his improvement with 4 goals and 2 quality assists from very limited opportunities. Jimmy Pinkney and Alex Catford also had good performances. This week we are back at home against Para Hills. Justin Staritski A-Grade Coach
B-GRADE REPORT SEATON 12 7 79 PEMBROKE KINGS 6 5 41 Goal Scorers – N. Teague – 2, M. Harmer- 1, A. Berry, D. Gallen, T. Seagrim Best Players - M. Walsh, D. Gallen, B. Sanders, J. Franklin, N. Smerdon For the second time this year we travelled to Thebarton Oval to take on Seaton Ramblers. The game started well for the Kings and we showed some good signs early. The first half half we saw some great efforts all over the ground and we were with Seaton on the scoreboard. Just before the main break Tommy Seagrim kicked a long bomb to get us within a goal from the Ramblers. As the game wore on there seemed to be a drop in concentration and there were simple skill errors which hurt us. We ended up going down by 6 goals. It was great to have a chat as a group after the game – something that I think has only been done once this year – and go through the game. I think that it’s a great way to iron out the things that we need to work on as a team and hear from the playing group. Win or lose I think that we should take 10 minutes just to have chat amongst the group and share out thoughts on the game. Michael ‘Hagred’ Walsh played a great game in his 100 th for the club. With Dogga out due to exams Walshy played out 4 quarters in the ruck and didn’t stop working. Our resident Irishman Declan Gallen was courageous all day hitting the contest with everything he had and didn’t stop until the siren went. Blakey Sanders in his second game back for the year played some creative footy and shown us that we have been missing him all year. He also landed one of the best tackles I’ve seen this year that resulted in one of their players being sent off with a yellow card and we were eventually were rewarded with a goal. Its this stuff that inspires and lifts your team mates on the field and get the results on the board. It was the best game for the year for Jack ‘Nugget’ Franklin with his strong hands and ability to move the footy on quickly. Smedgie Smerdon attacked the ball fiercely off the half back line with his sharp hands allowing us to move the ball through the centre. This week we take on Para Hills at home. Last time we saw them we got up by one point in a great contest. These boys will be hungry to get some revenge on us so we have to make sure that we are ready from the get go and we should have a good game on our hands. Hate Para Hills!
