The Judging Gods - Becky G, Big, ConBhoy, RJ and young Pam found the Women's Prem's were most to their liking and duly awarded them the Golden Gong. 2nd place was slipped to the lads from the Men's 3 Div White's lead by Barry Barry and Wogga's Little wonders danced their way into 3rd place. Perhaps a full report will follow once the MC/President Merce has taken stock and drags himself away from the Hanlin Shield calculations. Many thanks to all the entrants', the Judges, Bar staff and the Morts who built the stage. Giddy Up. ** Grounds ** Reminder, please stay off the new grass area in front of the club, cheers. ** RW Subs $$$ ** Subs are now overdue Lads and Ladies, the bailiff will be knocking...... Weekend Summary 14/15 August 10 Hi all, The Women’s Premiers became the 3rd Roslyn-Wakari side to be proclaimed champions for 2010 following in the footsteps of the AJ Grant League Fletcher Cuppers and the Healthy Soils Whites. The girls claimed their 3rd successive title with a hard earned 1-1 draw with arch rivals Northern. The game was a far cry from the hammerings dished out to Northern earlier in the season. The first half was very even with Roslyn coming closest to scoring through an early corner and a cut back to Player of the Day Mary Fraser. After the break Roslyn seemed to get the better of the game with Kushla Glover and Amber Mulhall dominating, leading to Úna Madden drawing some fine saves from the Northern keeper. As the game entered the last quarter the tension mounted and there was a fear that the early missed opportunities could come back to haunt Roslyn, these fears came to fruition as Northern scored a stunning goal from 25 yards that not even Roslyn’s keeper Caitlyn Fitchett could save. As the game went into the final 10 minutes Roslyn showed true championship qualities putting Northern under pressure, Úna went close with a free kick, then drew another free-kick in 25 yards out, super sub Carrena Oosterbahn stepped up and fired the ball into the top corner to trigger wild celebrations amongst the team and supporters. Roslyn controlled the tense final minutes with Úna playing her own private game in the corner until the final whistle. The game was an absorbing contest played in great spirit, full credit goes to Brando and the Northern team who have improved immensely throughout the year and did well to push Roslyn all the way. Congratulations Zippy and the girls for a great season adding the league title to the Queens Birthday Tournament and Mime Night victories from earlier in the year The Wogga's women's black team also thrashed the Norzen girls in their match 2-1, no league title at stake but it always good too do it. PV's senior ladies had the 3rd Norzen clash on the busy Ellis Park, the 30 mins each way were of a very good quality once again. Meanwhile, our weary senior men's team's have decided to settle down and wait for the prize giving night, a chance to finally kill their livers is far more tempting than running about playing footie it would seem. This coming weekend the Men's 1st's take on Cavy at Tonga park in their second last match of the season, the Feltchers are on Ellis verse the Norzen with the Chinese Charity game against Dun Tech next week, the middle leagues are all done and the 3 mens masters teams are dotted around the show.
