Oz-Tag
Speedy Eddy's U9 boys had their very first year of Oztag. They made it through to the semi-finals in 2nd position. They only went down in 1 tight game for the whole season. Unfortunately the boys lost their final 6-8. Congratulations boys on a very successful season!
What an incredible effort from our Year 4 Boys OzTag team last week! The boys faced the number-one team and gave it 110%, showing just how much they’ve grown and improved since the start of the season. With many players new to the game, their determination and teamwork have been inspiring to watch. A huge shoutout to their amazing coach, Daniel, who has dedicated so much time to building a strong, connected team – your hard work is truly appreciated! We’d also like to extend a massive thank you to Mrs Marshall for coming to support the boys. They were absolutely thrilled to have her there cheering them on!
