UNDER 10
By RAYAN MOORE
IT was great to be back at the Memorial Oval on Sunday to watch the Under 10s take on Shepparton United in a hard-fought contest.
The game started at a frenetic tempo with both teams getting stuck in early.
Cody O’Bree continued his good form from last week, bagging the only goal in the first quarter.

The defence's twin towers Jimmy Jackson and Jett Fielden led the backline, with half-backs Bohdi Cummins and Tommy Bickerton offering plenty of dash.
The second half saw Roy Burton take control of the game with a strong midfield display with Billy Harper and Hudson King adding plenty of grunt, scrapping for any loose balls.
Roy Burton was able to cap off a great team performance with two goals in the final quarter.
There is definitely a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks, with a week off before heading to Rushworth on Saturday, 31 May.
UNDER 14s
AS predicted, it was another tough day at the office for the Under 14 Magpies, up against Seymour on their home turf with their squad of 29 kids outnumbering our depleted side (four on commendable squad sport duty).
Seymour chipped in a few players to even up numbers, and in the true spirit of the game their players were competitive against their own teammates.
Magpie newcomer Spencer Mildred-Nicel proved a solid presence in the forward line, and with a few more matches under his belt, he will prove dominant up forward.
Seymour's opening quarter saw seven goals and three behinds dominate the scoreless Magpies.
However, a hard-fought effort in the second quarter held Seymour to only two goals, while Euroa kicked one goal and four behinds.
Ty Fielden was working hard in the ruck, and our on-ballers were kept busy, with Alex Burton and Darby Hoare tirelessly working the ball forward.
It was a very physical game, with the Euroa boys laying hard tackles.
Without the luxury of a bench, fatigue crept in during the final term and a few sloppy errors gave away free kicks, letting Seymour stretch their lead.
Again, thanks to all the parents who volunteered on the day.
We look forward to a week off before we travel to Broadford on Sunday, 1 June, where we can hope for a more competitive match.
SCOREBOARD: Seymour 16.7.103 defeated Euroa 3.8.26
