WA Reds Set Themselves to Make an Impact
The Cash Converters WA Reds have set themselves for some serious on field results over the next few weeks, starting this week at home against Western Sydney.
While they lost last week’s game to Western Suburbs, it probably went with form and they are looking forward to setting up the rest of the season with some positive football.
The Reds line up this week against a side to which they are better matched and then follow up next week in Wollongong and again at home in two weeks.
Coach Andrew Korn has shuffled the side a bit to get some balance into the side and also try to have performers on the field who are going to deliver for the club. He has had promising support from centre Louie David and half Jaline Graham recently, and some of the local players are starting to step up as well.
The SG Ball competition is very competitive and with the best talent in Australia at under 18 level, no side in the competition can guarantee a win on a week by week basis, so it is important the boys sustain their efforts over the full game. If they do so they give themselves an opportunity to climb up the ladder.
The game kicks off at 11.00am at Ken Allen Field in Hilton.

I hear the reds have lost two players back to the East coast over the past two weeks, no 9 and no 7, both, in my opinion were very good players, what has happened and will there be more to go in the near future?

Not sure, haven't heard that.

Good win for the boys today beating Western Sydney 28-22.

Was wondering why Michael Edwards has not been in the team the last couple of weeks.

Hooker Jake Collins was named on the bench this week.

WA Reds Hold Out Against Western Sydney
The Cash Converters WA Reds held out with another gutsy home win against Western Sydney taking out the game 28 to 22.
Although there was bit of a stumble towards the end they were the best side all day and did the work needed to beat the academy side made up of some of the best age players from the western suburbs.
The Reds got out to a 10 nil lead early on with Dylan Rintoul scoring twice from some good play from Clinton Strickland and Jaline Graham.
With a 16 all half time score line Western Sydney were able to stay in touch with some soft defense from the Reds, but it was the try from Ethan Reynolds at 33 minutes which was the highlight for the Reds after a 50 metre movement which again saw Graham in the action.
The second half started the same as the first for the Reds with the score jumping out to 28 – 16 after 10 minutes with tries from Kieran Culgan and a good push from dummy half to Kaine Buckwell.
At 22 minutes, Western Sydney got another barge over try to get to 22 points, but it was the last score for the game as the Reds were able to hold out despite making some basic errors.
Coach Andrew Korn was pleased with the win.
“It was a gutsy win for us, and a hard fought result. The boys did not stick to the game plan at the end but we achieved some things we set out to do.”
“We started fast and made sure that Western Sydney had to chase.”
Best players were Daniel Westerduin, Keiran Culgan and Ethan Reynolds.
The only sour note was the hand injury to Ian Woods who did not get back onto the field after half time.

Louie David.

Usually called Toetu David - heard he goes good.
Moved over from South Auckland NZ.
Played a little league but also top rugby player who made plenty of NZ rugby reps.

So if reds dont take off, if Im pretty confident the Force will be knocking on his door.

Hopefully he goes well.

I see the boys have bulked up a bit this year and aren't the skinny slow team they were last year... well done lads, keep up the good work and put WA back on the map for the right reasons !!

yeh we actually ran with quite a few 16 year olds last year so an extra year has seen them start to fill out. We are still smaller than the top clubs but physically more than matching the mid and lower table clubs.
