Lobster Cave - Under 12 A

Under 12 team at the Kanga Cup 2008

UNDER 12A’s – Mr. Boyan Mitkov  ph 0410 574 015

PREMIERS

Proudly sponsored by: The Lobster Cave

Thank you and congratulations to Boyan and all the boys for a remarkable year securing the title a month before the season ended. This team had 4 Victorian State school players from it and I reckon they probably could have included another half a dozen. This is a very skilful team yet also tenacious and rarely conceded a goal for the entire season. The boys also made it to the Semi Finals at the Kanga Cup and only lost to the eventual winners in a thriller. This age group with Boyan have been aiming for this day, to gain entry to Under 13 Super League, and it is great to see a plan executed successfully. A team needs many contributors to achieve success.

Accordingly we would like to thank the team manager Guy (despite his Victory alliance), Andrew Zinni and John Vafiadis for assisting in specialist training since under 10’s. This team has been a pleasure to watch this year but will need to stay focussed as the U/13 Super League will be a tougher assignment. The team has also been highly successful playing in and winning pre-season tournaments.

Congratulations to Boyan again on back to back titles and all involved.

 

Kanga Cup 2008

Under 12s made the Semi's at the Kanga Cup 2008. Only beaten by a Korean select team from Singok. 

The Under 12s reached the Semi's and were knocked out by the Asian/Korean powerhouse at this age group by Singok Primary School. 

Singok Coach in an interview on the Canberra Times 12/7/08 was quoted as saying "Singok's Coach praised his final and semi-final opponents after his team's win last night, but said South Melbourne's under-12s were particularly good".

South Melbourne - which had not been beaten in two seasons before yesterday's game against Singok - wasted a number of opportunities but still pushed the Korean side all the way to the final whistle.

"This year's semi final against South Melbourne was close to the toughest game we have ever played in Australia," Kim said through an interpreter after the match 

The Canberra Times 12/7/08

We want to acknowledge our sponsors for the generous contribution to the team in getting them to Canberra.
