Wind Training

Tonight the new-look BPL mens team took on another new-look Cobras outfit.
Being a windy night, I copped a couple of throws in the face as the disc turned vertical in a gust on wind at the last moment.. this was before the game!

We had a warm-up game with Cobras agreeing to play 3 possessions at a time. We tried some 2-3-2, and O was frustrating in the gale force wind! The most pleasing thing is that the opposition also found it hard and would turn over the disc often.

Promising signs include Rick's work-ethic and great timing (a nice flick too to Matt in the end zone on Abra), and the way Matt injected himself into the game.

Carl made a war-speech about spirit. He was right. This season we have to play like we believe we are good enough to be there, and to fight out every point and back each other up. We need the fire!

Training will continue on Sunday at 3pm, Sylvan Rd for all. Matt will be running some skill drills.
