Season Review 2007

2007 has been an interesting experiment for our club, for the first time we managed to (just) scrape enough numbers to field two teams, in the A1 and B1 divisions of the South Australian Colleigiate League. Expectations were high after dominating the A2 division last season, but settling into a much more competitive division, with a significantly changed squad proved difficult.

A poor start to the season saw our A's stuck towards the bottom of the division, but as they adapted, class showed through and they managed to claw their way to mid-table, causing the big teams a lot of trouble along the way. With a more settled side next year, and more experience of what the higher division requires, expect Scotch to be a force next season!

The B's were a very different story, and the final match report from our illustrious coach Mark Paparella says it all:

Boys a massive thankyou to you all for the efforts this year though!! It didn't help only oranising the team a week before the start of the season and only half the team having played outdoor football before, and we have been under the pump all year against better teams and you have improved weekly without doubt and can be very proud of what you have achieved team wise and for the spirit that has remained throughout the team for the entire year. I hadn't experienced anything like that before. With a good preseason under our belt and a few extra players next year will be considerably more successful result wise.
