Action photo's from the 7th grade tournament.

7th grade tournament - July 2009

A total of 16 teams entered the 7th grade tournament this year, splitinto two pools of 8 teams each. Tahuna entered a combined Zebra's/Gunners team - The Tahuna Storm.

Everyone contributed to a great day, and our seven games resulted in four wins, two losses and a draw, which left us painfully close to topping the group and securing a final place. In fact one more goal would have turned our last game from a draw to a victory and would have been enough. Having said that, the players turned in results throughout the morning that far exceeded expectations. The tournament ended at well past one '0' Clock, after kicking off at 9am, but everyone enjoyed the occasion so much that the time seemed to fly past.

Tahuna Zebra's 9 City Lasers 1 (20/06)

Zebra power....Stronger by the hour!
An excellent performance with goals from Ewan (5), Grace, Jacob and Mika. We are really starting to hit our stride now, and the energy from all the players in the team was terrific. Player of the day wa awarded to Toby for a great all round performance, he was unlucky not to get in on the goals, but if he keeps playing like that he will be knocking a few balls into the back of the net before the season is over. Mika was awarded the outstanding effort award, hot on the heels of his player of the day award from the previous week.
This week we have even been able to sneak in a pictures of the loyal "Zebra Army" fans on the touchline.

Today (13/06/09) - Game cancelled.

We have been told that due to the amount of rain over the last few days, that all games have been cancelled today. See you all for practice on Wednesday.

Thuna Zebra's V United Meteors 3-4 (6/June)

After a two week absence from a competitive game, the Zebra's put in their best performance to date. It was a cold windy day, but with the fast pace of the game there was no chance of the kids getting cold! The Meteors led 4-1 at halftime, but although we could not quite draw level, we came back in the second half even more fired up to come within just the odd goal. The three goals were scored by Ewan, with a magnificent assist by Grace in the build up to the third, crossing the ball from the wing for Ewan to tap in. Mica was chosen as the player of the day, we hope to post an interview from him soon.

More action pics from the Tahuna derby, and an interview with Jacob (player of the day).
