The Crookwell AAW soccer team head into this Saturdays Grand Final after a fantastic season where they only lost one game. Meet the players:

Annie Croker: (Captain) 40 goals this season, is very dangerous in front of goal and is always marked heavily. Teams now she’s a threat.

Grace Smith: Is the engine pushing the team along, an absolute workhorse, just never stops, an integral part of the team.

Holly Evans: New to the team this year. Has great ball skills and finishes well. Excellent support to Annie.

Lily Panne’: A powerhouse in defence, probably the best defender in the competition. When she tackles you, you know it. Is currently injured.

Laura O’Keefe: Great footwork and skills, always gives 100%. A very underrated player. Loves to play tricks on the coach.

Susie Brennan: Has improved immensely the past two seasons. Is a real team player that won’t stop.

Kami Boerma: New to the team, has good skills and work rate. Is a great addition to the team.

Gemma O’Brien: Good head on young shoulders. Ice cool under pressure, works hard in defence and has stepped up since Lilys injury.

Olivia Croker: Has improved this season and has made the right back position hers. Works hard and not afraid to tackle.

Rebeka Picker: Extremely versatile player, cam play just about any position if needed. Has filled in as keeper and has done a great job.

Brooke Taylor: Great skills, tackles hard and loves being on the field. Has also filled in as keeper and does a great job.

Jessica Ryan: Very fast up front which makes her a handful for defenders. Injuries have curtailed her season and hasn’t been able to make as big an impact as she would like.

Amy Parry: For a player who has never played soccer before, she has done a fantastic job. Has been unstoppable in defence, with a never say die attitude, work rate second to none and calm under pressure, she has been a revelation this year.

Annika Picker: Has helped the team out immensely in the last few weeks by playing in goals. This girl is a player to watch in the next few years.

They play Hill Top at 12.45pm in Bowral Saturday 16 September 2017.

Single stableford was the event at the course on Saturday with Tim O’Keefe showing the way with a fine score of 41 points.  

This score was remarkable considering the greens were renovated the day before and had core holes and sand  all over them.  

Next best was Steve O’Brien on 36 whilst B grades best was Bryan Carruthers on 34 with Ben Hearne runner up on 31.  

Prizes were sponsored by K D O’Brien.  

Full scores: 41 T O’Keefe, 36  S O’Brien, 35 S Hall, 34 D McCarthy, B Carruthers,  33 C Banfield, 31 B Hearne, G Johns, A Gilbert,  29 C Francis, M Secomb, 28 P Reid, D Costello,  J O’Brien, 27 B Jordan, T Reid, 26 D Carter, T Johns, 25 K D O’Brien.  Nearest the pins 4/13th S O’Brien 2.7m and J O’Brien 11m and 7/16th G Johns 2.46m and B Hearne 8.1m.

Big thanks to all the volunteers who assisted with the greens renovations over the two days last week.  Without the help of our dedicated volunteers, we wouldn’t have a course in the condition that it is. This week is a 6x6x6 stableford with prizes sponsored by Laggan Inc.
