SPIDER BITES - 2010 WEEKLY RESULTS

Week 15- Sat 24th & Sun 25th July

Saturday

• Under12 Red Bye Week.

• Under12 Gold vs MCC Red Final 7 to 5. The U12 Gold Redbacks got back to their winning ways in a scrappy game against a tough MCC Red team on Saturday. The game was extremely close throughout, with both teams playing tough lacrosse. Nick Hulley played a great game in goal while Connor Hudson provided him with great support on defense. Harry Lowe was dominant on offense scoring five goals and two assists. Ben Peeler did a great job of moving the ball on offense while gathering three assists on the day. MVP went to Connor, and Steven Bettoni would earn the encouragement award.

• Under14 vs Williamstown Final 21 to 16. The U14 boys picked up a huge win this weekend in a high scoring game against Willi. There were seven different scorers for Chadstone,with Jordy Richardson leading all scorers. Nick Pennell and Cal Smythe would also play notably well on the offensive side of the ball. Jordy would take home the MVP for his offensive efforts. Encouragement would go to Ryan Perry for a good game in goal.

• Under16 vs Footscray Final 6 to 8. The U16 Redbacks lost in a nail biter to Footscray this weekend. This low scoring affair would be close throughout. The U16's are continuing to improve despite a loss to this tough Footscray team. Aiden Holmes continues to play well in cage, with Harry Pendock playing well on defense. The Trewern brothers have played consistently well on offense, with Jono Lowe playing well all over the field.

• Under18 vs MHS Final 17 to 6. The U18's continue their winning streak, with Melbourne High being their most recent opponent. Luke Egerov, who has literally played every position on the field this year, played a great game in the cage for the Redbacks. Luke would earn the MVP award.

Tom De-Lisle continues to play well, despite this being his first year in the sport. Encouragement would go to Mike Tabbagh.

• Men Division 1 vs Melbourne Uni Final 16 to 14. The Div1 Men travelled to Melbourne Uni Saturday to play in a contest that would be much different than the first time the two teams met. The game was an evenly matched bout that would require extra time to decide a winner. Jarryd Lee played a great game between the pipes, garnering him Encouragement honors. Matt Savage, Hayden Lee, Dan Mentiplay, and Taz Berrington would all score at least three goals each to lead the offensive assault. Dan Nifong would prove to be Lee's biggest help on Defense, earning MVP honors for Chaddy.

• Men Division 2 vs Eltham Final 20 to 6. Travelling to Eltham would prove to be very troubling for the Div2 Chaddy boys. Playing against an Eltham squad that featured two ex-Australian players, on what could only be described as a very poor ground, would be too much for the Redbacks to overcome. Eltham came out strong in the first quarter and continued throughout. The Redbacks look to bounce back against Moreland next weekend in a must win game. Dan Beinke would be named MVP and Ben Sinclair would be given the encouragement award.

• Men Division 3 vs Knox Final 18 to 5. Division 3 played one of their best games of the year on Saturday with a big win against Knox.

Week 14- Sat 17th & Sun 18th July

Saturday

• Under12 Red vs MCC Blue Final 15 to 3. The Chadstone Red team won in decisive fashion against MCC Blue on Saturday. The team played their best lacrosse of the year with solid passes, shots, ground balls, and notably great clears. It is hard to attribute the victory to just a few players; because it was such a great team effort. Kit Stewart played a great game on not only offense, with two goals, but a great game on defense as well with great play on the ball. Olivia Rowland led all scorers with 2 goals and a whopping six assists, while Izzy Pennell had five goals and two assists of her own. Luca Manfield was a rock in goal earning him the encouragement award. Kit would be named MVP.

• Under12 Gold vs Footscray Green Final 14 to 6. The Gold squad unfortunately suffered a tough defeat to Footscray Green, who is sitting at the top of the ladder. Footscray started off strong, and Chaddy could never catch up. Considering how tough of an opponent this Footscray club was, these boys having nothing to hang their heads over. Some great points of play were Nick Hulley and Harry Lowe. Nick, who has become the consistent goalie, played another great game in the net. Harry, scored four out of the teams six goals. Nick would be named MVP, while Harry would be awarded the encouragement award. The boys look to get back to their winning ways against MCC Red next week.

• Under14 vs Malvern Final 11 to 16. In a close game, the U14 boys would not be able to overcome a tough Malvern side. Malvern was a top four side on the ladder, who was just too powerful in the fourth quarter. The game was an offensive struggle, with both sides netting 10+ goals. Kale Murphett, who normally plays in the field, played a brilliant game in the cage for Chaddy. Kale would be awarded the MVP for Chaddy. David Sampson, who tallied an assist, would be given the encouragement award by coaches Hayden and Matt.

• Under16 vs Williamstown Final 4 to 13. After an even first quarter, and a 3-2 halftime score, Willi would pull away in the second half and escape Treyvaud Memorial Reserve with a win.

Alex Butler earned MVP recognition, and Rory Nichols was given the encouragement award.

• Under18 vs SEC 18 Final 19 to 8. The U18 men would avenge an early season loss to the SEC 18 squad in decisive fashion. The team continues to play great lacrosse heading into finals time. Despite the very lopsided score, the game was actually very close early on, with both sides trading scores throughout the first half. The Redbacks came out of the gates in the second half on fire, pulling away from the opponent. We saw a great return from Josh H., who has been away travelling. Josh would be given the encouragement award. Luke Egerov, who continues to excel no matter where you place him on the field would be named the MVP.

• Men Division 1 vs Malvern Final 20 to 2. The Div 1 men continue to blowout opponents, with their latest victim being Malvern. Chaddy would be in control throughout the entire contest.

Matt Filliponi and Ron Ricketts would combine for eight goals, with four goals apiece. The rest of the scores would be derived from an all around great team offensive attack. Ron would be garnered MVP honors.

• Men Division 2 vs Williamstown Final 8 to 14. Top seeded Williamstown traveled to Chaddy on Saturday and got all that they could handle from Chaddy. Willi handled the Redbacks in the last meeting between these two teams, but Saturday's game would be much different. The score's were 4-4 at the halfway mark, and 7-5 Willi at the end of three quarters. Willi would prove to be too much in the fourth quarter for Chaddy to keep up. Danny Burr netted a hat-trick in his best game of the season, and Dave T. played great on defense. Taylor Berrington would be named MVP and Dan Beinke would be given the encouragement award.

• Men Division 3 vs Surrey Park Final 10 to 2. Despite a tough loss to Surrey, the Div 3 side had several highlights on the day. Despite this being his first season, Jochen Singer scored both of the team goals. This is Jochen's first multi-goal performance of the season; which would earn him the MVP award. The defense played well holding a usually high scoring surrey club to just 10 goals. Coach Jesse Collins earned the encouragement award for his defensive effort.

• Womens B grade (CC Gold) Vs Altona 3 to 6. Awesome effort and really hard to compare the team now with the team at the start of the season when basically everyone was new to the game.

• Under16 vs MCC/Caul. Final 4 to 10. Although Chaddy fell in this game, there where still several bright spots. Both Alex Butler and Jack Strozycki were not able to play for the U16's due to the fact that they were called up to play for the U18 team. They both played well in that scenario which was good enough to name the two boys joint MVP's for this game. Jonathan Lowe scored two goals in a great showing in this game as well.

• Under18 vs Williamstown Final 6 to 15. The U18 boys played a much tighter game than what the score shows. The Redbacks had Willie on their heels throughout the whole game.

• Womens B grade (CC Gold) - Altona Final 2 to 10. Encouraging to see us get a couple of goals and to keep a good team down to 10. Each week the team improves and sticks at it which is great to see and good for the future for players individually and the team.

Great first game by Ashley…. and she deserved the MVP. Libby T continues her great form. Also some great saves in goal by Luca Mansfield and Louis Osborne who both took one for the team! MVP - Ashley

• Under12 Gold vs Altona Purple Final 15 to 2. A great display of junior lacrosse and sportsmanship by the Chaddy Gold team. Although they played a much younger opposition they didn't dominate and ruin the lacrosse experience for the Altona kids. All the Chaddy Gold players featured on the scoresheet and new recruit Angus Wood (MVP) displayed some outstanding running and lax skill for a first year player. The Peeler brothers were once again terrific but it was a solid team effort. Well done.

Special mention to Luke Egerov who stood in the attack end and allowed us to have ten players on the field and thus 6 in defence until Matt Weinman arrived. MVP - Josh Hatherley.

• Men Division 1 vs Malvern Final 15 to 5. A game where we were leading all day and grinded out the win. MVP - Michael Pendock with encouragement Matt Weinman.

• Men Division 2 vs Caulfield Final 7 to 18. Caulfield put in a solid performance and we couldn't match them on the day. Good effort by Dan Beinke and Bill Higgs in goals. MVP - Anders Wong with encouragement to Rob Collis.

• Men Division 3 vs Altona Final to 4. The opposition was a more experienced line up. Some great defence keep us in the game till half time but their experience shone thru and they run away with it in the 2nd half. Great goal by Michael Remilton to get if off quick and in the back of the net! First gamer Jake Singer showed no fear, absolute courage and one his lax skills kick in look out! First game also for Bruce Peeler and some time between games for a couple of others. 'Veteran' player - Gregg Osborne played his first time in a long, long while and welcome back to Gavin Hayes who played his first game after a 7 year absence. MVP - Jake Singer.

• Men Division 3 vs MCC Final 5 to 10. Hard fought game and score didn't reflect the closeness of the contest. We had Daryl Bouchier play his first game for the club in many years - welcome back. Brent Freeman dominated our scoring with 4 goals. MVP - Brent Freeman.
