The team has shown very good ball control and coordination which seems to be among the best in the tournament so far.

Bush Lot has been living on the edge in all of their games thus far in the competition surviving two penalty shootouts and won the regional final after being two down. They have proven to be fighters and their performance in the 2013 tournament is being remembered when they finished third.

With all of the games starting at 15:30h it will be impossible to witness more that one of what seems to be an afternoon of exciting school football, it will only be possible to witness one game.
