Inside the Nest with our Eagles Under 18-2 Boys

Welcome to “Inside the Nest”, our weekly segment where we spotlight one of our Junior Eagles teams. This week we go inside the nest of our under 18-2 Boys team with player Wade Spooner.

The U18-2 Boys team has had a solid start to its season with a string of practice game victories followed by a Pre-Grading game win over Ballarat. With 2 games coming up this weekend to finish off the Grading Phase 1 rounds, Wade is confident his team can have a great season.

“Our ambition for the team is to play well as a unit and for me personally it’s to play at the highest possible standard I can. We have a great team and coach and I am really looking forward to the rest of season. Our coach Matt Stewart is tough when he needs to be but also knows when to have fun”.

When we tried to dig a bit deeper and find out more about his team mates, Wade wasn’t giving much away.

“ Ryan is the funniest in the group…he always finds ways to lighten up the mood and make everyone laugh!!”

We even asked him to nominate someone from his team to take the match-winning shot and once again it put his trust in his team mates.

“Anyone could take that shot, I have confidence in all my team mates.”

With Diamond Valley now entering the SEABL competition in 2018, Wade was asked would he be coming to watch our teams in action.

“For Sure!!”

With the VJBL cancelling all games last Friday, this weekend will see the majority of teams play Friday & Sunday. Good luck to all our teams competing this weekend.
