A great contest for our U12 White side against Dapto Canaries.

Both teams brought plenty of intensity, making for a fantastic game from start to finish. Our players showed plenty of courage, resilience and determination, continuing to turn up for one another when the game got tough.

There were some strong individual performances, but most importantly the team worked hard for each other all day and never backed down from the challenge.

A fantastic effort by all players involved and another valuable step forward in their development. Well done, Wombats! 💙💛

With several key players unavailable and plenty writing us off, the boys responded with one of our most complete team performances of the season.

Every player stood up when it mattered. Effort, resilience and commitment across the park laid the foundation, with five different try scorers highlighting the team-first mentality that got us the result.

The scoreboard tells part of the story, but it was the attitude, defence and willingness to do the tough stuff for each other that made this performance so pleasing.

There’s still plenty to work on and we’re far from the finished product, but performances like this show we’re heading in the right direction.

A top-of-the-table clash. A challenge accepted. A statement made.

🐾 Tries:

Round 6
Avondale Wombats vs Northern Suburbs Bulldogs

With six players unavailable and our backs against the wall, every player stepped up when it mattered most.

Coming up against the competition leaders, the boys showed tremendous resilience, commitment and teamwork, with every player executing their role to perfection.

A true team performance from start to finish.

The result sees the Wombats move to the top of the ladder after knocking off the previous ladder leaders.

Proud of the effort, attitude and character shown by this group. 💙💛

HARRIGAN SHIELD – ROUND 5

The perfect response.

After suffering our first defeat of the season last weekend, the Wombats bounced back in impressive fashion with a hard-fought victory despite carrying several injury concerns into the match.

With key players unavailable and others forced into unfamiliar roles, the challenge was always going to be greater than just the opposition in front of us. Several players were asked to play extended minutes, others shifted positions to cover gaps, and every player who took the field rose to the occasion.

The statistics will show the result, but they won’t tell the full story. What stood out most was the resilience, effort and willingness of the group to dig deep when things got tough. When our backs were against the wall, the boys found another gear.

A special mention to CJ, who crossed for two tries and Drey adding another while Damo added two conversions from three attempts, including a pair of difficult sideline kicks.

Perhaps most pleasing of all was the response after last week’s disappointment. Good teams enjoy winning. Great teams respond when challenged.

The Wombats showed plenty of character today 💛💙
