Outram School Touch by Cam M

Outram blues
The Blues were fired up coming into their exhibition game against Fairfield A. As they had been off touch for at least six weeks and were hungry to get back into it. Outram had a slightly different team this year but that didn't stop them from playing a good flowing game easily beating Fairfield 15-1! Sending a warning to the rest of the teams. Hopefully a sign of another unbeaten season this year again!

Outram Silver and Blacks
Both teams were starting out at playing touch this year but they had already shown a lot of skills in practice for teams that have not played touch ever. Both teams played good games winning their games by good margins. Standouts from Outram teams on the day were Logan G and Sam R who showed good speed. Hopefully these guys get to play each other in the final!

The Blues, Reds, Silvers and Blacks all had good wins while the Maroons had a draw with Fairfield School. This was a great result for Outram School considering that it was the first ever Touch game for most of the Outram School players!

Outram Champions of the Taieri!!

On Monday 15th Dec the Grand Finals for the Taieri Junior Touch module were held. Outram School had the Reds in the yr 5/6 final and the Blues in the yr 7/8 final. The Reds were up against Elmgrove Warriors a team who like Outram Red has gone through the season without a loss. Outram controlled the game from the first whistle and scored early through Mitchell R. Another two tries before halftime gave Outram a 5-2 lead at halftime. The second half of the game was dominated by Outram again with some great 'quickie' plays baffling the Elmgrove defence and leading to more tries for Outram. The final score was 8-3 to Outram. Player of the match was Wilson M with great drives from set play and scoops.

The second final of the day was the yr 7/8 match between Outram Blue and St Mary's. The Outram Blue team have gone through two module seasons without recording a loss! The team have been training hard for this final and all the hard work paid off with an amazing win 15-1. All the team contributed to the fantastic performance with Emily B being awarded player of the match for her great work on the wing. The team scored from set and broken play and totally dominated the St Mary's team from the start of the game. This was a great result for the team and a great send off for the yr 8 students.
