Coach's Report - Saints v Blues

GAME DAY REPORT: 4th July 2009

Quebec Saints Vs. Central Blues, Humber North Toronto.

Each week I watch this team grow in stature and develop into what I call a team. On the weekend this was nothing but the truth. We travelled down the 20 to the city of Toronto to the home of Australian Rules in Canada. With limited players from home, three London Ontario players, Shane, Mark and Jason came to join in the action, also was the friend in foe Chris who pulled on the boots for the first time ever.
