Match Reports

11 Boys v Melrose won 6 – 3
The opposition gave us a huge scare in the first half of the match scoring in the first 12 seconds ! Our defenders were still asleep and struggling to stay on their feet for the first half. Luckily after a inspiring half time address by the coach our young Spurs were relentless in the second half and playing more our style of game . Much improvement will be needed if we are to progress far in the cup finals .Go Spurs !
Goals to Mitch 3, Ryan 1, Cooper 1, Dustin 1.

Fantastic effort team, bring on the finals #GoSpurs

14 Boys v Melrose lost 0 – 9

16 Boys v Melrose lost 1 – 3

Thirds v Melrose drew 1 – 1
On the final game of the home and away round the Thirds had their first draw of the season. Despite being the better team on the day they managed to convert only once when Denzel ran the ball down the field and goaled. They had a number of other chances and controlled much of the play. Well done to all team-members. Thanks from the manager to all who those who donned a marshal’s vest throughout the season (particular thanks to Julie and Kylie who stepped up regularly) and thanks to all our linespeople – Helen Wilson, Roland Linssen, Lewis Parrett, Ben Gardiner, Andrew Gardiner, Mitchell Anderson and Sam Thorman.

Over 35s v Melrose drew 2 – 2
Our place in the finals & our opponents were all but decided in the previous week so this was a time to see how we were travelling against another top 4 club. Previously beaten by this team in the first half of the season we should have turned the tables & won this match comfortably. Our structure definitely faded towards the end of the match & we certainly let them back into the game. In hindsight the obvious thing to do was to have made them chase the ball as they had no subs on their bench. However there was some good hard work put into this fixture by our side. Spurs showed intensity but had some poor judgement at times & the ball was hard to control at stages due to the windy conditions. A weak penalty in the first half & an over ruling by the ref on the linesman for offside late in the second half were our only failures to keep a clean sheet.

Reserve Men v Melrose lost 2 – 3

The Ressies played well in their final game.They found themselves down 0-3 and came home strongly to just miss getting a draw. This team will not play finals but had some good wins during the season.Thanks to all the players who turned up every week to play because this team was struggling to get numbers earlier in the year.
“are we missing anyone, almost a team photo”

Senior Ladies v Melrose drew 1 – 1

Senior Men v Melrose drew 2 – 2

This was an exciting game. the Seniors have improved greatly during the year. Ray Kausche was terrific in goals and made some great saves. Tony and Ranga were great in defence while Luke Dahl and Jon Cochrane were outstanding in the midfield. The Seniors have made the finals for the first time in several years- something many did not see happening during pre-season.
Good Luck next Sunday!
