AFTER the rough week of weather in Bombala, one would have not been surprised if the junior football had have been called off on Saturday morning.

With the under 8s off to Canberra all eager it was hard work for the Under 7s and 10s back home in the cold and the mud.
However, the under 7s never missed a beat - they were keen to get on the field so they could warm up.
It was not long before Josh Tellis once again displayed his blistering speed and managed a couple of tries for his efforts.
Another young man who really showed some heart was Joey Sullivan, who decided he was a human brick wall, stopping the opposition in their tracks with some crunching tackles.
Ruby Smith, Jake Brown, Torrin Hillyer and Grace Brownlie also worked hard and put in their usual performance into the game.
This week’s Milo Man of The Match for getting more involved each week and slowly building skill and confidence goes to Cody Bruce.
Cody only started playing this season, but has really started to make a difference to this team.
Well done to Cody on a great game and in the same week congratulations on being a big brother with the new baby home soon.
Under 10s were up against the wall this week when the Narooma boys arrived prepared for the cold - and even excited about it.
Narooma had really anticipated the weather and were even a little disappointed that there was not a cover of snow.
Bombala on the other hand had had a week of the cold and miserable weather and just did not seem to be able to warm up and play with the strength they needed to take control of the game.
Narooma had some real stand-out players in this team, some who were very skilled and even performing moves like the chip and chase, playing well above their age level.
Overall it was just a case of the under 10s out-skilled and out-played this weekend by Narooma.
That’s not to say that the effort was not there.
In fact, someone who put loads of effort in this week with defence and ball play was this week’s Milo Man of The Match, Zayne Phillips-Jones.
Zayne has been working hard all season and really trying to make his presents felt.
Well done Zayne.
Next week, Bombala has a bye followed by a home game, so at this late stage in the season fingers crossed that the teams can keep up the momentum.
Thanks once again to local sponsors Food Works Supermarket and Rocky’s Tractor Hire of Bombala for the Milo Man of The Match.
