Here's pix from the game against Mount Ultimate at the end of May
profile (by Todd Hill -
Assistant coach) The Titans are led from the back by
our outstanding goalie, James Hitchiner. His desire to put his body on
the line
has saved some certain goals this year, as well as earned him a few
balls in
the face! The defensive team is led by Troy Tutty, who’s massive right
boot clears the area with authority. He is assisted by Callum Bishop,
Cameron
Austin, Lewis Hubbard and Bayley McFarlane, who all show brutish defence
and a
willingness to put themselves on the line to save a goal. In the
midfield the
combination of Sam Head, who shows amazing balance through traffic, and
Luke
McGlone has the ball pushing forward, and both have great ability to get
through opponents. Quinn Porteous and Mathew Robertson have been
excellent
utilities with an ability to play in all positions. Quinn has a long
throw in
ability which has instrumental in setting up opportunities, and Mathews
casual
style always has us with our hearts in our mouths. We may as well put a
sign up
on the right wing saying “Property of Sam King”, as he has owned
the area this year. You can regularly see him storming out of defence,
taking
on two or three players before setting up some great crosses or going
himself
as he showed with a hat-trick against Te Puke. Callum Aubrey has the
left wing
and has made it his own with a big left boot raking crosses into the
area, and a
great ability to change the angle running forward, putting the opponents
off
balance. Emlyn Hill and Riley Gardner have proven the perfect foils for
each
other up front, with Emlyn providing some deft touches and headers to
advantage
for Riley, who always looks dangerous in attack, and found his radar
against
the Mount with two goals.
