ππ Team of the Year (Oratia Fruit Growers Assn Shield ππ
Awarded to the Junior / Youth team that embodies the Oratia spirit; both on and off the field.
Congratulations Oratia 13th Grade Ninja !!
"The team have been outstanding all season. They have grown as individuals and as a team. They have shown dedication and heart in all of their games this year. There has been some adversity in the season, including missing out on the league title by 1 point. Despite this, on the last game of the season the team still pulled together to record a decisive win, and more importantly the team decided amongst themselves to work to get one of the players who had not yet scored a goal, to score a goal. Which they managed to do, and then the team mobbed him, like they had just won the world cup."
Well deserved team π
