The ECU under 12’s travelled to Grindleford Reserve for the Pre-season Balcatta Cup with only a bit of pressure after winning the tournament the previous four years.
The weather was great for the beach but would make it a long hard weekend for the boys. The group stage would mean games against hosts Balcatta, Perth (2), Subiaco and Cockburn.
ECU Under 12’s – Back Row – John Higgins ( Coach ), Presley, Kieran, Kody, Liam, Stuart Grant ( Asst Coach ), Charlie, Evan, Miklos, Lee Green ( Asst Coach )
Middle row – Ben, Fraser, Josh, Trent, Ciaran, Dylan, Ollie
Front row – Morgan
Some stand out moments of the tournament
· Cody magnificently saving a penalty that stopped Perth (2) getting back into the game and gave the whole team a boost
· Fraser scoring a hat trick in the QF against Cockburn
· Superb defensive display in all games
· Everyone involved was a credit to the club
Perth Glory coach Alistair Edwards presented Morgan with the Cup which the boys thoroughly deserved. A great start to the season for the 12s.
