The Braves rejoyced when they got a Ressies team together for 2008.
We've had some spectacular wins (Eden/Wolumla), some spectacular defeats- Merimbula and Bega, and some spectacular suspensions -Pez and Pip..
We lost some numbers as the year wore on, which put some extra pressure on guys to back up for both games. Good for fitness, not so great for enthusiasm each week.
In the end we had to win the last comp game in Ressies and the last comp game in firsts to make the finals- and we lost both! Bugger.
It's easy to look back and blame injuries and rough decisions this year- because they really didn't help us either way- but instead, we've gotta look to next year, see who we can muster together and make some sensible calls on the teams we nominate. At the time of the eventual completion of this post- it's reserve grade this year which takes some pressure off the playing staff for a year.
Look forward to some fun and a few wins this year and building back towards having 2 teams again if possible for 2009.
Go the Braves!
