COACHES VIEW:
'Matt will vie for playing time on attack. We are asking for more in the riding game, and will be rotating the attack more this spring, so Matt[apos]s play off the crease will be a key in securing playing time. When on the crease, Matt has shown the ability to score in the past, but he must be more consistent and confident in handling the ball on the parameter..'-Coach Thiel
