Happy Valley Football Club Finals

Well what a great effort it was last Saturday morning. HVFC were triumphant in thrashing Flagstaff Hill down at Higginbottom Stadium Noarlunga.

Flaggy started with purpose and cleared out their forward 50 creating one on one footy and raced away to lead 3 goals to one at quarter time. In his usual laid back style, Mick Ruddock reminded the boys they were on the board and in the game, just play your game and everything will be ok. Ok it was as Flaggies only added one more goal for the rest of the game.

After a poor first quarter Ryan Doherty was best on gound in a stunning display. Ryan found is own ball and took the game on breaking lines and delivering to the Happy Valley forwards. Sam Farmer won the Westies zone medal and shows a lot of promise. It was a real team game but those to catch the eye included Brinni, Hastwell, Low, Collins, Vick etc.

This was a great year for the lads and a premiership well deserved. Unlike previous years where the "best team, in the best positions" were fielded week in week out, Mick and Liam rotated the boys from not playing to the Saturday and Sunday sides. Over 60 players were available this year for our under 14's. Players this year were also encouraged to play in a higher grade for a couple of weeks at a time to provide the lads with a little experience for next season. The lads also played in many different positions, giving them all a taste of how to play in defense, attack and around the ball. Mick was happy to go in a little light some weeks and in doing so the team found themselves in fifth spot at one stage before their stunning last month where they finished second.

Well done to Mick Ruddock, Liam Sutton, Bev Smelt, Dwayne Ruddock and John Westphalen for a great year. Not only did we win this premiership but the Sunday team also played off in the grand final and were level with the mighty Brighton team at 3/4 time before sucumbing to the pressure and the conditions.

Go you Vikings.

HVFC Under 16s Win 1st Semi Final

Saturday September 4th at Aldinga Football Club saw Happy Valley Under 16's get up by 2 points in an enthralling SFL 1st Semi Final.

In fine and windy conditions which made scoring difficult, Happy Valley outlasted Brighton in a classic final. Boys on both sides gave their all with Happy Valley prevailing. We have now extended our season by at least one more week when we meet Cove Football Club in the 2nd Preliminary Final at Port Noarlunga on Saturday the 11th of September at 9.30am.

It is just so great to see our boys many of them first year under 16's develop their skills, their sense of team play and carry out the game plan as they have over the past few weeks. This final was as close to a concentrated four quarter effort as they have played all year. With their effort the results are starting to fall our way.

As Allan Stringer so rightly put it last night at presentations, all this win has done is to give us the right to contest our next game avainst the Cobra's. By all means we will not get ahead of ourselves but get back to training on Tuesday night and work hard in preperation for the weekends game.

This was a great effort, having gone down twice to Brighton during the season, but gaining on them each time, the boys showed just how far they have developed and how much they needed to and have lifted their work rate. Their team play has been very good over the past two weeks, but will need to keep improving as we progress deeper into the finals series.

Special efforts were given all day from many players. A few ripper moments were Matthew Raitt's commitment to a 50/50 ball. He sprinted with eyes only for it, puched it forward out of the Brighton players grasp and continued on to get the ball again, turning a sure Brighton attack into a HVFC attack. Sam Bauers defensive action on Howie. Sam did not give him a sniff all day and required supreme discipline. Scott Kumnick and Todd Eshmade's work in the forward line, continually leading and taking hard marks and creating bone crunching contests. Beardy rucking all day and being disciplined enough to play the kick behind the play and to mop up many Brighton attacks. Beardy put body on the line in the last quarter with a great spoil over the boundary line taking the Brighton body with him. James Sexton's reading of the play and sure hands in defense and cool disposal. Tristan Cummings coming on off the bench and exploding with pace, taking marks and contesting against taller bigger bodies, and Jack Mesecke continuing to do all the hard things that win games of football.

I could go on and on, but it was the team effort that won the game for us. Now we turn to next week and we ensure that we prepare well, we are disciplined during the week and on Friday night and we take the same attitude into the preliminary final.

Great work lads, see you on the track.
