Under 8s Gold v Melrose
Well it was a beautiful day for soccer! With Alice away on holidays, we had Sam and Isla back and the team was raring to go. With Isla in goals she might as well been frozen in time as she did not touch the ball for the first half, Mitchel and Sam played awesome in defence not letting the opposition pass. Zavier and Ryan passed the ball beautifully in the centre and Elisha and Lenny started well up front slotting some great goals. Second half saw pocket rocket Isla finally touch the ball and cause havoc up front for the opposition. Poppy was everywhere running up and down the field helping out in attack and defence, showing us her never give up attitude.

Under 9s GOLD v Melrose
A great turn out on a glorious day. Alex and Tahlia shared goalie duty and stopped some impressive shots at goal. Louis and Declan continue to be consistent in defence, clearing the ball from the danger zone. Ben and Jeremy played forward and back with speed and precision. Alistair and Peter’s control on the ball was impressive. Harley and Tyreece were awesome in the centre with great passing between them. Matthew had a positive impact on the game as soon as he ran onto the pitch. All in all, Coach Shaun was proud of their efforts. Jeremy took home the Wendy’s Certificate for his effort this week. Last week, the Cold Rock award went to Declan.
Under 10s
It was the first hit-out for the team under the new 2 team structure and it was an unbelievable game by the team with some great passing and excellent defensive work. However it was the effort by each team member which was the highlight of the day, proven by the exhaustion of the players after he game. Ollie had a great first half in goals saving plenty of shots and putting his body on the line. Cody had a blinder first in defence and then in the midfield, and Sam played an awesome first half up front. Max, Maddie and Kaleb all had great games making plenty of tackles and showing how their passing games continue to improve each week. We also welcomed Jeremy, Ben and Harley to the team and they showed they have what it takes by making some key defensive plays and plenty of precise passing in attack. However it was Jack who took out the player of the match award this week for his attacking effort first in the midfield and then up front. His never give up attitude led to him
netting 4 great goals. Well done Jack and well done team.
Under 11s v St Pats drew 0 – 0
A much improved team performance by all players. It was great not to concede a goal and that was due to not giving the ball up in dangerous positions too often and some desperate defence and some great saves by Ian.
We showed more determination and drive and attack with more purpose than previous weeks. Their keeper was worked more than ours and they also cleared many from their goal line. Rupert hit the upright and Bidish put one over the bar. Brodie, Dawson, Tomoki and Ava were unable to find the back of the net but not for trying as we peppered their goal to no avail. With some better decision-making, like making that extra pass instead of taking the shot too early from too far out, we may well find ourselves finishing off our good work with many more goals.
Let’s work hard at training this week on improving these small things for future games.
Harrison receives the Soden’s award for a strong game and attacking the ball.
Bidish had an excellent game with clever use of the ball and good field positioning to receive the McDonald’s award.
Everyone else receives two Intencity awards for a great team effort.
Pick your awards up at training Wednesday.

No one was frozen today, it was out with the sunscreen and welcome to the team John Corkett. With his addition we numbered 11 against a team with five subs, so we were going to struggle and it showed towards the end of the game. We played a bit of good football for some bits of the game but had to constantly defend in others. We know we need to train to be a force in this comp but at least the Sunday run around keeps us a bit fit. Next week we play to see what finals position we have, hopefully with subs this time.
Reserve Women Gold v St Pats Draw 0 – 0
Reserve Women Black v United Lost 0 – 7
Unfortunately the start and end of this game were poor. The girls picked it up well in the middle and showed we can play a strong game at times. With more training sessions together the girls will improve significantly. Thanks to Annie, Caitlyn, Kendal, Emily and Lily for helping out and giving the girls opportunity for rests.
Reserves v St Pats Lost 2 – 3
A game were the Ressies could have got some points. The team led twice during the game when Durga and Mitch Ryan scored good goals. Unfortunately poor defence and a penalty allowed our opponents to grab the win. Zac and Joe played well at the back and Durga was very busy in midfield. Brendan Edwards had a good game in the forwards.
Ladies v St Pats Lost 0 – 9
Seniors v St Pats Won 3 – 2
The senior men got a much needed win with a very strong second half. Down by two goals at halftime James Eggleston and Jon Cochrane really
lifted in midfield and the team overran St.Pats to get three goals and secure three points. Both Indra’s played well and Paul Kinning was excellent in
organising the defence. The winning goal was scored by Durga Gurung who came on as a substitute and did a great job for the team.
Well done everyone!
