Durham and Brampton provided all spectators with a very entertaining game this morning with an emphasis from both sides on speed and skill and some excellent players on both teams.

In a fine all round team performance Durham had excellent performances from Ethan at full back who fielded many high balls and was ably assisted by Blair and Landon whose many timely interceptions kept Durham in the game when under pressure.

In midfield Emmett kept Durham in the game when Brampton were dominant. His midfield partner Karleigh performed a great marking role in midfield and defence cutting out many dangerous attacks. Luc had a pivotal display at left full forward throughout linking well with defence and attack. In attack we had other fine performances from Liam, Megan, Josh, Alex and Patrick.

Congratulations to Landon and Josh who just made their debut with Durham and performed tremendously. Stars of the future!

Ryan was excellent throughout in goals and has become number one goalie for Durham Shamrocks.

Full team: Ryan Giffin, Landon, Ethan Young, Blair Coulter-Vansickle, Emmett Young, Karleigh Knox, Luc Comire, Megan Bentham, Liam Killoran, Will Murphy, Josh Collins, Alex Coulter-Vansickle and Patrick Smith.

Manager: Brendan O'Neill Assistant Coaches: Sarah Gowdy, Lorraine White
