FORCE V’s TITANS - What a Spectacle!                                   

As the title suggests, this epic match-up is worthy of being made into a movie!!! Perhaps cast Brad Pitt as the Force Coach...

Coming off the back of a solid win the previous week and brimming with confidence, a full-strength Force eagerly anticipated playing against the newly re-named fellow Prescott team, the TITANS.

With Force’s Jonah relegated to the bench (under our Player-bye system), the TITANS swiftly capitalised, stretching out to a 10 - 0 lead, before Force’s top scorer, Zukiah, found his range, pegging the Titans back to a hotly contested 12:6 half time score.

The second half saw increasingly vocal supporters from both camps on the edge of their seats. Simon and Tanner, for Force, paired up forcing some timely turn-overs, while twins Seth and Alanna upped the ante, with Alanna dominating defensive rebounds, and at one point getting airborne and sideways wrestling for the ball, and Seth made some superb coast-to-coast plays, adding 6 individual second half points.

Specky Scout, leaping feet into the air, read the play well, throwing his body on the line to cut off some Titan transitions.

But, as a coach who believes winning at sport doesn’t mean “only on the scoreboard”, one of my personal game highlights was seeing Farid’s smile. School mates’ playing against one another fosters familiarity, sportsmanship, proficiency and humour.

So while I believe everybody won, if you must know who got the premiership points (and you can’t wait until the film release), ask one of the Titans...
