9’s - There was no better day to play rugby in Dubbo on Sunday. Our first game was good and we continued to improve each game with the help of our wonderful coach Mr Hazelton. Some awesome individual performances were on show with Matty Lowther's tackling, Joe Dunworth's confidence in taking the ball forward, Oscar Zielinski's ball control, Drew Carslake's willingness to help his team mates improve, Maxwell Horne's skilful footwork, Charlie Hail's straight hard running, Andrew Caskey's overall improvement, William Stratton's no fear attitude, Tom Hansen's confidence in running the ball, Lenny Shannon's textbook tackles (on his weaker side) & Austin Cutter's improvement in positioning. The improvement shown in these boys as a team in 3 gala days is a credit to them and their fabulous coach!

Drew Carslake

Last Sunday we played at Orange City for our Gala day. Our three matches were against Bathurst Bulldogs, Emu Green and Emu Black and they were tough! We are learning lots each week, having fun and looking forward to our first win soon! Special mention to Drew who tackles really well and never gives up.

Maxwell Horne

11’s - It was a beautiful sunny day in Dubbo on Sunday - perfect weather to play rugby. It was a mix of blue and white that played together for 3 games back to back, but it was good to play with our mates. We still have a lot to learn like forming a backline, but we are improving in cleaning out. We need to make sure we continue to learn how to improve as a team and do as our coach says.

Jack Carslake

12’s - The boys travelled to Grenfell and had a great game winning 43-12. Exactly what we practised at training played out in the game. Forwards played tirelessly and were exhausted by the end. Backs linked well passing the ball with finesse. Angus was outstanding in defence while Jack Tink was strong at full back. Mitchell Fuller improves with every game in his first season. We were made to feel most welcome by the Panthers team and the club. Great day had by all. Try scorers were Ollie Roach, George Wakem x 2, Sam Fabar x 2, Zac Shannon, Angus McPhie 5 goals. Thank you to Mrs Maslin and Mr Fabar.

U7 Leopards – Week 5

What a great morning for soccer. The KWS Leopards played a very close match against CYMS. Harry and I played some great defence with Alby, Jimmy and Ben's attacking skills well on display. It was a fun morning playing soccer.

U7 Pumas – Week 4

The Pumas were pumped for the third game of the season. Playing the Jaguars, the Pumas entered the game with energy and enthusiasm. Every team member played with effort and each week our skills are improving. Congratulations to Chrissie who scored our goal, with the final score being 2-1 the Jaguars way. Grace, Mia and Viv had some fantastic kicks from the sidelines. Zaro and Chrissie were handy in defence. It was a great game.

U7 Pumas – Week 5

On Saturday 26 May, my team KWS Pumas versed OAGS Strikers, first I want to congratulate OAGS Strikers for their amazing performance, and they won the game 7-0. Pumas didn’t do well in the first half, in the 2nd half, Pumas performance improved, especially in the defence, and chasing the ball, everyone in the team tried their best to prevent more goals scored against us. I am sure our team had fun and enjoyed the game.

U9 Fury – Week 4

The entire team played well. We were really close to scoring a goal. We stayed in our positions most of the time. We cooperated a lot. Can’t wait to play next week.

Hamish Buckley

U9 Fury – Week 5

On Saturday we played CYMS Gold at PLC. It was a nice sunny day and we all played well. The two Toms scored our goals, Tom Hansen scored the first one and Tom O’Connell scored the second one. The goalies were good too (I was one of them!) Hamish Buckley and I saved lots of goals. CYMS won but we are playing better every week.

Oscar Chandler-Sullivan

U9 Thunder

Another great effort this week, with some great attacking at the front by TJ and David. A big thank you to Oscar who played in goal this weekend, well supported by Tom in full back. The Waratah Rebels were strong but everyone pitched in and showed improving skills. Looking forward to next weekend, thanks Mrs Houston.

Austin Cutter

U11 Jets

Saturday saw us up against Waratah Mariners. They were a good side and it was a close match. They took the win 6-5. We played really well, keeping our positions and passing the ball. Charlie Poole created heaps of spaces to play the ball, Ollie Smith kept the team in position and Finn O’Toole was great a keeping pressure on the other team’s defence. A great team effort.

Jack Dunworth

U11 United

On the weekend, the U11 United played Waratah Jets at Waratahs Sports Ground. The best part of the game was seeing Tim playing so well and trying really hard. We displayed great sportsmanship when we worked together so well and supported each other, and congratulated our opponents on a well-played game. We played as a team by encouraging each other constantly. Soccer is so much fun!!!!

U9 Doves

On Saturday, 12th May, our team played our second game. We played very well to pass the ball to each other and we intercepted a lot of the other team’s passes. Although we lost the game, we improved on our first week. Thank you to Mrs Essex for coaching us.

Chloe Caro

On Saturday 19 May we played against a great team. We are learning to play our positions and each week we have improved. Our passing this week was great and we have been training hard to learn about the game. Thank you to Mrs Essex for training us this week and thank you to Mrs Philippe for looking after us on Saturday.

U11 Firebirds – Week 4

Last Saturday’s game was awesome! It was the U11 Firebirds first win of the season, defeating OAGS 6-1. Mrs Caro said we were focused and tried hard, and our efforts paid off. Lilly and Emily our shooters shot some amazing goals with great defence from Charlotte and Aimee. We were obviously going to crush OAGS from the beginning! Well done Firebirds!

Alice Commins

U11 Firebirds - Week 5

On Saturday 19th May the Under 11 Firebirds played a brilliant game. Although we lost by two goals, the score didn't reflect how we played. Charlotte and Aimee were brilliant in defence in the goal circle, while Ava and I worked hard in our attacking goal. Bridget and Lily did a fantastic job in centre court, while Mia and Alice did a great job to feed the ball to our shooting circle. We missed Matilda who was unwell, but all round we were proud of how played and we were thrilled with our result.

Emily Caro

U12 Falcons

The weather was perfect for netball and for crazy hair and sock day. The Falcons were ready to play and started well with excellent positioning from Hannah, Molly and Neve. The second-quarter was also good with excellent passing from Emma, Hannah, Honor and Helen. At half time the mood was great even though the oranges turned up late (Sorry). Unfortunately the third-quarter saw the other team score many goals but the game ended well and it was a fun day for all. Lovely to see the team enjoying each other's company.

Kookaburras

This week we had our first win of the season. We won 2 goals to 1 against City Thunder. Olivia and Bianca scored one goal each. Willa was great in defence and the rest of the team did a great job both in attack and defence when needed. It was a great game and we can really see our ball skills improving. Can’t wait till next week!

Kaydn McLachlan

The Kookaburras came up against strong opponents this week, Confederates Dragons. It was a tough game and the end result didn't reflect the hard work and team ship of the Kookaburras. The defensive back line worked hard under the pressure of some speedy balls delivered by the Dragons. This season is seeing some great hockey and encouraging play across the team. Well done Kookaburras.

Maddison Lawry

Scorpions

This week the mighty scorpions played against the Canobolas Storm. Our defence skills and passing have greatly improved and this was demonstrated throughout the entire game. Our teamwork was evident by the way we gave each other high fives. It was an exciting game which we unfortunately lost 2-1. I can’t wait to score a goal again next week. Thank you to Mrs Coote who always gives us lots of encouragement.

Hugo O’Brien

Rhinos

The team played exceptionally well winning 6-nil. We followed the ball, called out to each other and passed to each other perfectly. I love how focused we were, and how we keep on improving every week.
