Eagles emails 2019

Four of our teams ventured out to X Convenience Oval over the weekend with the Under 16's recording a come from behind Round 1 win kicking the last 8 goals of the match to turn a 33 points deficit into a 20 point win. Will Neumann, Jase Burgoyne & Dylan Branford all performed well in the midfield.
The League, Reserves and Under 18's all played trial games in their preparations for Round 1, with all players getting through unscathed. This Friday night our League and Reserves have their second trial against Norwood at Coopers Stadium, whilst it is Round 4 in the SANFLW, with the girls taking on Norwood at Elizabeth. The Under 18's and Under 16's take on Norwood also at Coopers Stadium on Sunday.

After trials against Sturt and West Adelaide the lads were looking forward to their Round One clash against Central District on the Thursday evening prior to the long weekend.
Centrals got off to a fast start and lead by 13 points at Quarter time however our second quarter was much better and we were able to close the gap to a deficit of 7 points at Half Time.
Our second Halves across our Trials had been a strength therefore we were looking to finish strongly again. But Centrals again came out after the break and kicked the first 4 goals, which was not ideal as half way thru the third quarter Centrals lead by 30 points.
To our guys credit we responded in the later half on the third and kicked the last three goals of the term to trail by 14 points. The game was up for grabs and the lads could sense there was an opportunity to go on with it.
We saved the best to last and won just about all areas of the ground both on the inside as well as using the ball well on the outside, with 16 inside 50 to Centrals 3 in the last Term we were able to kick 5 goals 6 to Centrals 2 points.
With 8 individual goal kickers Brayden Calvett, Will Pearce & Jay Watson kicking 2 each along with Will Neumann, Jase Burgoyne & Dylan Branford working hard in the midfield and Brady Griffiths & Lachlan Hendry doing a stellar job in defence, particularly early, we were able to open up the season with a positive result in an overall good Team performance.
We look forward to venturing out to Coopers Stadium this Sunday to take on the Redlegs.

Under 16’s Coach

Dear Michael,

The Woodville West Torrens Football Club is excited to announce that Tess Baxter has re-signed as coach of the SANFLW team for 2020.

Tess said, “I am really looking forward to coaching the team again next year. For a lot of the girls it was their first season of football or as a part of an elite program. The growth shown from within the group from the start of preseason until the end of the season was huge and will provide a great platform for the 2020 season.”

On Tess’s reappointment, Club Chief Executive Officer Luke Powell said, “We are glad to have Tess continue as coach of our SANFLW side next season. In the first 12 months Tess has developed strong relationships with all key stakeholders within the Club, most importantly her players, and we know she will continue to push the group forward.”

With the appointment of Tess finalised, the Club will now spend the next few months appointing people to the remainder of the roles within the women’s program
