2020 has been a challenging year for all, in hindsight we are grateful to have played some rugby this year and to welcome new players to our Cote Gold whanau, Albie, April, and Cole.
It was a season of 2 halves, 6 games played, first 3 games were blowouts in our favour, last 3 games were 1 try nail-biters with some great rugby played by both teams. 2 close losses were an opportunity to reinforce areas that we have been working on in training, like “supporting the ball carrier” and “letting the ball do the work”, however not to be with the season cut short.
I am really proud of the spirit of this group of kids; welcoming and supporting new players, learning new skills, working hard, understanding the value of teamwork (shines on defence, not so much on the attack... yet), and above all enjoying playing footy with their friends.
Thank you to everyone involved with the coaching and supporting this team, I am sure we are all looking forward to next season already.
See you all again next year!
