LIVING up to the ideals of a Titan isn’t easy.
The Titans of Greek mythology were the 12 ultimate gods of their time – mighty, brave and unwavering to their pursuit of power.
What does that have to do with junior football you may ask?
Enter the Berwick Springs’ version of a young Titan – Ryan Allison.
Playing up an age group in the under-10s, the eight-year-old utility powerfully roamed the wings and defensive end for Berwick Springs in their win over Narre South Lions.
While some of his team mates had more of the ball, it was how Ryan attacked every opportunity at 100 per cent that made him stand out most.
Head down, pushing into the contest and emerging with the ball from ground level, Ryan made every touch count for his team.
Ryan’s great tackling and strong kicking add to his impressive skillset and make him a valuable asset to his Titans team.
