The boys didn’t disappoint anyone who walked through the turnstiles.Tungamah’s clearance work at stoppages, attack on the footy, tackling and ball movement was a pleasure to witness throughout the game and if the Bears keep playing in this manner who knows where they could finish up.
The senior Bears are playing their best footy currently and need to keep the momentum going.Awards: St James - J.Jones, Yarrawonga Hotel - Ben Beaton, Tungamah Hotel - N. Lawless, Crusty Loaf - T Lidgerwood.

Another tough day for the under 17 boys. Numurkah were 5th on the ladder for a good reason.
Again, the Bears were light on for numbers but with the support of the under 14 boys the thirds were able to put a side on the park.
It was one-way traffic for most of the day. The back line battled their guts outs.
Ben Griffin had a sunburnt roof of his mouth by match end.

Fourths
Tungamah 1.0.6 defeated by Numurkah 13.12.90.

Harvey worked tirelessly all day and was the Bears standout player for the day.
Slater and Thomas were the two younger kids who manned up on their players.
Sam kicked the Bears only goal and with Lucas worked hard in the midfield, Hunter had good attack on the ball.Awards: Crusty Loaf - Thomas Lawrence, McDonald’s - Slater Goudie and Lucas Eales, Subway - Sam Adkins, YMGCR - Harvey Thompson, Ricky D’s - Hunter Irvine.
