Match Report R9: LCC U10 Blicavs vs Willoughby Wildcats U10 Sunday 20th June 2021
We are usually provided with a very well presented field and opposition when we line up against Willoughby and Sunday was no exception. However, it was bucketing down on Sunday at Willoughby Oval, not a picnic rug in sight in the outer as Team Blicavs ran out to...
Match Report R9: LCC U11-3 vs Hornsby Brewora Eagles Sunday 20th June 2021
Scintillating football from our Cats in Q2 showed our best is good enough, but we need to put it together for all four quarters. The trip to Hornsby gave us one hour of match time in 4 weeks…671 other hours across this four week period could be spent recovering! The...
Match Report R9: LCC U10YG Evans vs Balgowlah Suns U10YG Sunday 20th June 2021
The lead up to this week's game was, as usual, frenetic and disrupted. Team Evans were already one woman down with Lulu out suffering an injured shoulder. But the Mowbray Public School's entry into the Extreme Dance Competition meant that three additional players were...
Match Report R9: LCC U14YG vs Willoughby Mosman U14YG Sunday 20th June 2021
Back to front. We always seem to play Lane Cove at Blackman Park in the wet and cold. I'm not sure if it's the river that's close by or just that Lane Cove is so far from home it feels alone and desolate. Even though our other team's game was washed out today we only...
Celebrating 50 Games: Charli Griebel
When the Cats run on to Steve Chisolm Oval on the afternoon of 20 June, it will mark the 50th time that Charli Griebel has donned the famous blue and white hoops. Recruited into the new Youth Girls’ team in the autumn of 2017 by the enterprising Zerners, she took an...
MATCH REPORT R8: LCC U10 BLICAVS VS PITTWATER TIGERS U10 RANCE SUNDAY 6TH JUNE 2021
Firstly it is hard to believe that the game on the weekend marks the 8th game and midpoint of the season for Team Blicavs. There are only 7 games remaining until the end of the season in the middle of August and with the next 3-4 weeks being interrupted and...
Match Report R8: LCC U14YG vs Willoughby Mosman U14YG White Sunday 6th June 2021
I love the drive out to Middle Head, with views of the harbour on both sides of the car.. It really is a pleasure. I am sure all of the girls were also enjoying the view and warm weather as we again started the game slowly. Willoughby only had 10 players ( we lent...
Match Report R8: LCC U11-3 Duncan vs St Ives U11-3 Sunday 6th June 2021
Oh what a brave performance against quality opposition but a heart-breaking result! Team Duncan keep inching closer towards our first win of 2021 but narrowly missed by 4 points on Sunday 35-31. Urged on by our new cheer squad leader Sachin, we welcomed back Aza from...
Match Report R8: LCC U10YG vs Willoughby Wildcats U10YG Sunday 6th June 2021
A mid-week change to the season fixtures meant that a 9:30am centre-bounce at Gore Hill was brought forward to 8:30am. This early start, and the sub-antarctic temperatures, could've meant that few were there to watch the game. But no, we had our strongest contingent...
Match Report R8: LCC U16yg Barr vs Pittwater Tigers U16YG Sunday 6th June 2021
You may recall the mandate the scribe awarded himself, that if players didn’t have good footy nicknames by about now, they would be provided with one. Bad time to appear in the paper, Lily “cover girl” Dorahy. The mid season reshuffling of the draw means it is Round 8...
Match Report R7: LCC U12 Henry vs Manly Bombers U12 Sunday 30th May 2021
For the 2nd week in a row, our opponent was the Manly Bombers (MB), this time back at home. Our side took on a similar look to the previous week with only acouple of changes. Unfortunately Lewis Thame arrived for the warm up, but a loose tooth forced him to miss the...
Match Report R7: LCC u12 Taylas vs Manly Bombers U12 Sunday 30th May 2021
Frank Gray reserve always seems to throw up windy conditions making for a difficult game to watch, play and coach. Despite kicking with the breeze in the first quarter we got off to a bad start with Manly scoring early in the first few minutes. It's a pattern I have...
