It was a happy and exciting day for players and parents on Sunday for the Girl's Under 13 Grand Final. Camberwell started as underdogs against Footscray which had dominated the competition all year. Our girls surprised everyone by putting up a mighty display in going down 10-4 but not before they showed just how much the team has advanced over recent weeks.
As you probably know, Camberwell stars Saksia Hollekamp & Cassidy Richards have been chosen for Fire & Ice. Miles Cowton, Mason Lewis and Ned McKenna have been chosen for Southern Crosse in this years U15 Lacrosse Nationals in Melbourne. The Southern's alternates Marcus Woon and Frank McKenna will be playing for the Hurricanes and Sophia Tatlis for Sparks.
After last weeks heart stopping semi final win against Newport, the Camberwell supporters were nervous coming to a game against a team we lost to in the last game of the season. The girls, however, were well prepared and came out firing. In a first half blitz, the dynamic Camberwell midfielders scored 7 goals to none. Trinity, Ruby and Miakoda were damaging in the middle and drove hard at the goals. In the second half, the girls piled on another 4 to Eastsides 2, with Eva and Siena adding goals. The result was a comfortable victory.
Both of Camberwell’s Under 11 teams were pitted against MCC at Dorothy Laver Reserve West this week and it turned out a runaway.
The Tanks, led by a dazzling 7 goals from pint-sized Joel Goldhagen, and backed up by Magnus McCrae with 6 and Emma Hew with 5, powered their way to a 19-3 victory.

The Camberwell Under 13 girls were supreme in a convincing 15-1 victory over Williamstown on Sunday. The game started with an avalanche of Camberwell goals as Ruby Pagliaro, Eva Peraic, Mia Murray and Trinity Meachem darted their way through the opposition defence to post six opening quarter goals.
The Under 11 Cannons and Tanks travelled over the bridge to face the might of Williamstown this week and, while not securing victory, did show great skills improvement and a fighting spirit to push the sea-siders in both games.
For the Cannons, Dylan Wicken and Remy Turner led the scoring with two goals apiece and new player Zac Crellin was mighty with a goal and 2 assists. Once again Bailey Nicholls was named best for Camberwell with a tireless display coupled with 3 assists and a goal. The final result was Camberwell Cannons 6 lost to Williamstown 12.
