Match Reports

11 Boys v Twin City won 5 – 0
It was great to be back playing on a beautiful Winter’s morning.The match was a terrific team effort with many strikes at goal, a massive improvement on the last few games. Nathan and Mitch were controlling the game in the first half and allowed for some skilful passages of play. Lenny was as calm and as dependable as ever in the back line and came out the winner in the physical contests. It is great to see that all our young players have improved and developing so much since the start of the year and are now all having an influence during the match. Well done.
Goals to Ryan (2) Aydan ,Mitch and Cooper.

12 Boys v Twin City won 3 – 1
In the first half it could’ve been anyone’s game, 1 all. In the second half we got a few more goals, some called offside by the referee. We played really well especial Fraser and Cody on the right wing and Lilly kept the defence line up. Our goalies Seamus and Jake did excellent job. The engine room (mid-fielders) did well coming back and forward. Overall we had a great win against Twin City.

Thirds v Twin City lost 0 – 6
The opposition was just too good on the day for the Thirds who went down by six goals. The team did their best against a bigger stronger side but never really got going. They had a few shots on goal but most of the play was in their defensive half. Two players were injured in the course of the game – hope you’re both on the mend. Thanks to the Sixteens players who helped out and to Roland who ran the lines.

Over 35s v Twin City Lost 2 – 3
This is the one that got away. Our side were unlucky not to come away with a draw or even a win today against the top team. Even the opposition & the referee acknowledged this fact & agreed that we should have taken the points. We started off continuing to display our good form from our last game & it was a steady contest between the 2 teams but they managed to score first despite the best effort of our keeper. We clawed a goal back & were then awarded a penalty after one of the boys was bought down inside the box. We then let them back in the match due to some slack marking where they scored from a corner with less than a minute to go. The score at the break was 2-2.
Spurs came out strong & continued where we left off. We frequently created chances & eventually wore them down. Our defence constantly shut down their attacking moves. The killer blow was needed but we could not land it. At the death of the game that sense of déjà vu came to haunt us exactly as it did in the 1st half. A goal to them with seconds to go. A disappointing end to a great team effort today by everyone concerned. If we carry our form into the future we will certainly turn those score sheets around.

Reserve Women v Twin City lost 2 – 1
Another tough game against Twin City the team worked really hard all game and showed some determination in trying to get goals in the back of the net.
Twin City managed to score in the first half from a quick break, but we were able to get one in the back of the net in the second half, a cracking goal by Alesha that the keeper didn’t know where it came from. Twin City responded with a late goal in the second half.
Simone played another brilliant game in goals stopping many shots on, but unfortunately coped a bad knock in the second half to see us make a goalie change. Thank you to Christie for stepping up and taking on the position to finish the game and she did a fabulous job too. We also hope Simone makes a speedy recovery and is back on Sunday!
Our midfields and forwards (Bella, Claire, Alex, Asha, Bhawana, Shelby, Alesha, Christie) all worked really well together with stringing a lot of passes around the ground and provided support play during the game, it was nice to see. We just unfortunately lack some oomph in front of goals. Our defence held another solid game with Kelly, Kendal, Snowy, Tynecia and Sara. Sara saw herself in a new position and also stepped up in the game to take on the opposition forwards.
Well we had a funny moment during the game where the ball held on, on the line and didn’t quite go out but Kendal came roaring along to pick the ball up (thinking it was out) but had the spectators yelling out – it’s not out!! So with some quick moment she kept the ball in play! Very entertaining and quick thinking Kendal!!
Best on ground was Bella Godfrey, thank you for your movement off the ball and running continuously throughout the game.
Keep up the good work girls we are playing some competitive soccer each week we play. Bring on Diamonds, hopefully we can get another win against them!
Thank you to Sam Thorman for running the line too!

Reserve Men v Twin City lost 0 – 4
The Ressies got a bad start conceding two early goals. The second half was much better and we created a few chances but could not get on the scoreboard. Ash, Khem and Doug played well in defence. Joel made some good saves. Durga, Indra and Milky also had strong games.

Senior Men v Twin City won 3 – 1
The seniors play really well to beat a club which has had the wood on us for a while. Down 0-1 at the half Spurs ran all over our opponents in the second period. All our young players were terrific-Mitch Anderson, Ben Gardiner, Luke Dahl and Ray in goals all contributed greatly to the win. Sam Thorman, Michael Corkett and Matthew Townsend also played well.
