The Orlando men played there final game of the season. Winning over the St Petes Pelicans 14-7. It was a very loose game with no scoring in the first half. Man of the Match Shane Ferrelli who had some monster runs, attacking the Pelicans back line with grit and determination.
We would like to thank Nacho for refereeing the match, as there were some complications with the ref scheduling for our game. All in all a good positive turn around for the Orlando Mens side in the final games of the season. We are going to be training throughout the summer once a week and also playing touch on Sundays. We will keep you posted on details.
Thanks

The St. Pete Pelicans come to Orlando this weekend for the final match of the 2009 matrix season. Come out early and watch the high school game, then stay for the main event. All players should be at the pitch by 12:00 to cheer on the kids and warm up. Anyone who will be late should call Jason at 407-668-6970.
Kick Off: 12:00 High School, 2:00 Men
Location: Central Florida Fairgrounds
Social: Paddy Murphy’s
A focused Mens side took the field with much direction and concentration this Saturday against Daytona. It could be said that the team that played this Saturday would have seen different results if they had been as focused the previous week against Jacksonville.
The men’s team opened the game up very quickly in the first 10mins putting 13 points up before the grass had even a cleat mark on it. Absolutely precise rucking and support made quick clean ball for the backs to attack with all day long.
Jason Granichs’, ball on a string, box kick, trapping Daytona into there own 22 corner repeatedly was misery for all on the opposing side. Daytona’s full back surely had been sponsored by the local neck practitioner as his head rotated clearly around many times chasing the ball back behind him.
The training and coaching came to fruition in this game with Orlando’s defense playing hard and steady.
The final score 37-19.
Man of the Match Jason “kiwi” Granich
Congrats to all the men as this was a victory they really needed to lift there heads and draw in some well needed confidence on the pitch.
Next weeks game has the St Pete’s Pelicans visiting Orlando. I urge all past members to try and attend this game and show your support for the Orlando mens side and there tireless work of improvement.
