UNDER 10s By RAYAN MOORE Euroa’s Under 10s had an early start at Redlegs Stadium on the weekend, taking on Longwood. The team settled quickly, with Billy Harper dominant in the ruck and giving the speedy Hudson King first use of the ball. Roy Burton continued his good form in front of goal with an early major. In defence, the “twin towers” Jimmy Jackson and Jett Fielden intercepted everything in the air. It has been pleasing to see the development of Bohdi Cummins, Izzy Limbrick, and Will Swift this season, with all three playing their best games of the year. The second efforts from Emmett Arrowsmith and Lucas Mason out of the backline were outstanding, as they refused to give up. After half time, Longwood came out strongly, with Tommy Bickerton and Lenny Moore causing Euroa plenty of trouble. The midfield, led by Jed Enright and Tayte Wilson, lifted when needed, allowing Euroa to regain the ascendency. Heading into the last term, it was an even contest, but Cody O’Bree and Lewis Riley took control, proving vital in the final quarter performance. The team will head to Shepparton this weekend for the Gala Day round robin and a fitting way to finish a fantastic season. UNDER 12s By JASON WILLIAMSON It was another picture perfect day for football on Saturday as Euroa’s Under 12s took to Memorial Oval to face Undera. The opening quarter was a tight contest, with both sides struggling to break away. Midway through the term, Euroa found their rhythm, moving the ball cleanly through the middle to set up goals for Henry Williamson, Charlie Hemeter, and Tom Goss. Undera responded with their first major before Hemeter slotted his second for the quarter just before the siren, giving Euroa a 26 to 7 lead at quarter time. The second quarter saw more even play, with Undera’s defence standing tall. A composed finish from Jaegar Saxon extended Euroa’s lead to 32-14 at the main break. After half time, Euroa took control. Crisp ball movement and strong linking play delivered two goals to Kallin Caravaca Lopez and singles to Williamson and Hemeter, pushing the margin to 67 to 15 at the final change. The last quarter was all Euroa, locking the ball inside their forward half. Goals to Saxon, Logan Schwartzkopff, and Selby Bourke sealed a strong 88 to 15 victory. Undera showed great determination and sportsmanship throughout. This was the final regular season game, with the team now preparing for the Lightning Premiership carnival in Tatura on Sunday. UNDER 14s By PHOEBE MACDERMID Euroa’s Under 14s produced a brave performance on Sunday against the unbeaten Seymour Lions. While the Lions remain undefeated, Euroa pushed them hard in the first half. The match began with Spencer Mildred-Nicel slotting an early goal to set the tone. Euroa went into the first break leading by nine points. Seymour showed their class in the second quarter, fighting back to level the scores by half time. It was a physical contest, with Zaki Chambers strong in the centre. Ty Fielden and Blake Trotter worked tirelessly alongside Alex Burton. An injury to Darby Hoare in the third quarter proved costly, with Seymour gaining the upper hand. SCOREBOARD: Euroa 5.3.33 defeated by Seymour 12.10.82 Despite the result, the team’s determination and effort were commendable.
