[bayman]

well they had their first defeat today & a few kids were upset including little bayman in the loss but i know that'll do them good as they have to know how to win & lose, the scores were

clg
2.0.12 3.0.18 4.0.24 4.0.24

phos
1.2.8 2.4.16 4.5.29 6.5.41

phos had numerous players that were above average in ability & played as a team while clg had many players that chased kicks with the better players darcy,connor,isaac & a couple of others that i dont know their names little bayman wasn't as good as last week but did show courage (dont know where he got that from) with smothers & the like & the umpire gave him a certificate for the most courageous & he got a few kicks as well.

The NEMJFA's littleys kicked off on Sunday.

40 or so teams in the u8's comp with Tea Tree Gully, Hope Valley, & Golden Grove entering 3 teams or more, most teams I've ever seen in the 8's.

On a personal note, the Fitzroy Blue u8's beat the Eastern Park Maroon u8's by 10 points with Mini Sheik booting the first goal of the season.

EDIT - Bayman, does the comp your in officially keep the scores or is it just for the clubs records.

[Booney]

The Metro West JFL doesn't keep score for the U/10's at all.They do however keep scores for the U/12's and publish them in the paper each Tuesday.Next season will see the U/10's have bumping and tackling out lawed also.

[bayman]

no your not supposed to keep score but the clubs would like to know who won also the kids WANT TO KNOW THE SCORE its the idiot 'do gooders'/beauracrats that dont i remember when i was a kid we had scoring & we wanted to win & we did almost every week (it helped to win when you had future stars playing in your side) & as i said some of the players were teary when they lost & they knew they lost before even asking for the score & as umpire every week i'm ask by the kids whats the score at all the breaks
