Outram School Rugby 10's Team

Miniball

Outram Red vs. Silverstream
This team is sizzling! Unbeaten this term and looking hot for next term’s round of games. Once again, the Reds displayed grit and determination when Silverstream upped their defence and came at Outram Reds with all they got in the last two quarters - with the cost of Silverstream not being able to score against our guys. Sizzler of the match was Eli N who read the game well, intercepting, defending and attacking well, posting the highest basket score of 9 points. Player of the day went to Sarah J and to Bradley H for lifting their game by displaying consistent, committed defence and strong attacking skills. AWESOME! Score: 22/0 to Outram.

Outram Yr7/8
The team had a very tough game this week against a strong KVC team. Outram was down at halftime by 8 points but battled back in the second half to get within 4 points at the end of the game. Outram thought they had there first loss of the season but when fouls were added to the scores we came out 31-30 winners. This was a big scare for the team with 3 key players missing the rest of the team had to step up. Outstanding play by Isaac T and Hayley M helped the team come through with the win. The team is unbeaten for the season and its over a year since this team has had a loss!!

Outram Red vs. East Taieri 1
A fast paced game, with a flurry of baskets shot in the first 2 quarters. East Taieri put on stronger defence in the last two quarters, slowing down the scoring frenzy. Outram showed determination and perseverance in getting baskets in the last quarter – no mean feat! Defence, again, was awesome. They supported each other well and passed the ball around to fend off East Taieri. Well done guys! Player of the day went to Zara S for scoring the most baskets with 9, controlled play and for being committed on defence. Score: 34/6 to Outram.
Outram Yr 7/8 vs Taieri Blue
What a game! The Blues worked together as a team while putting up lots of baskets and defending their rebounds. With a score of 33-13 at half time the team kept up the hard work. Aaron H had a fantastic game on attack and on defence while Bayley G dribbled down the court and put up a lay-up at the other end. Cam M weaved in and out of the the players with excellent dribbling and the whole team played a great game winning 47-28. The team is still undefeated and players from this team least year have now not lost a game for a year!

Outram Whites vs Fairfield

The game was interesting to watch and to play in. The first 2 quarters we were losing by about ten points. The opposition's
number 12 was doing most of the work! In the third quarter No12 was not in play so we had our chance and took it!
Player of the day is awarded to Celine T for scoring 14 points. The final score was 22/18 to Outram. Another great game
team.
