Match Reports

11 Girls v Diamonds won 8-0
The girls started their title defence with a new squad but the same attitude. The girls out enthused the opposition and dominated the game from start to finish. It was really pleasing to see the new additions to the squad fit in and more than hold their own, while the seasoned campaigners led from the front and showed great lead we ship for the team. In the end it was an 8-0 victory with Elisha snagging a sweet 5 goals, while Mia, Seanna and Alice all grabbed a goal. Rylee and Taylor both played strong games while Lucy and Biabca made strong debuts. Special thanks to Tahlia Alvey for warming up the squad before the match

13 Girls v Diamonds won 3-0
What a great start to the season for the Under 13 girls. The girls passed the ball around well and created many scoring opportunities. Ash was lightning quick on the wing. Our defenders were lead by Keely and were awesome with Alex, Sophie and Bella all doing a great job. Our forwards Tahlia, Georgia and Hayley followed the ball well and Ruby and Mya working hard in the mid field. Lily was absolutely awesome in goals and kept a clean sheet. Alice and Eloise played up from the Under 13s and did an awesome job. Thanks girls, keep up the great work.

16 Girls v Diamonds lost 0-5
What a great bunch of girls with a couple of regulars out. These girls battled and showed great strength and determination to see out the game against a very strong opponent. Everyone of the girls never gave up and chased every ball down, we defended hard especially in the second half to only let one cracker of a goal. They have become an absolutely awesome team and play so well together. A huge thank you to Keely, Lily, Hayley and Georgia who played up. To all of the girls keep working together and the results will come. A great team effort, you never gave up!!

11 Boys v Diamonds won 5-2
After shipping a goal in the first 30 seconds the team were off to a very ordinary start. However, the boys managed to rally and use the fierce wind to our advantage. Finding themselves 5-1 up at half time. A great start to the season finishing 5-2. Special mention to Cooper for kicking a goal from a corner and Dustin for an outstanding job in his new sweeping role.
Charlie McKenzie wins this weeks Team Player award and will be captain next week.
Goals to Cooper x 2, Billy Whitfield x 2 and Carl x 1

12 Boys v Diamonds won 7-3
The boys u/12 team is made up of half the u/11s and a couple of u/13 girls. The mix worked a treat.
Tyreece, Al ,Louis and Sam were rock solid in defence with Al moving forward in the second half scoring goal of the day. Ruby and Tahlia had outstanding games up front. Special mentions to Lenny playing two full games as the general in the middle and Ethan doing the same great job in goals. And Ben has discovered his dash and big kicking can be match winning when flicks the switch.
Goals to Cooper x2, Ben x2, Isaiah, Tahlia and Al one each

14 Boys v Diamonds lost 3-4
On the weekend we took on diamonds for our first game for the season. With a few players out some carrying injuries, we had some of the U/13 backing up and helping us out, thanks to all those players.
We started off strong the team did us I asked, but after awhile we fell into our old habits which lead to the score at half time to be 2-1 down.
We came out firing in the second half which brought us to 2–2 but then we dropped again and diamond scored 2 quick ones. We got a penalty goal taken by our Captain Brodie which sailed into the back of the net nicely. But then we fell short with time diamonds winning 4–3, Tomo scoring 2 great goals. I would like to say thank you to Dawson and Rupert (aka Chucky) for stepping into goals I know the task was not easy but you both did a good job.
Overall the team did well for our first hit out, lets keep it going and improve each week.
See you all at training!

Thirds v Diamonds lost 0-2
The first match of the year didn’t go exactly to plan for Hotspurs who found the opposition just too tough. We had our moments, especially in the second half, but couldn’t capitalise. With some players from last year gone and new ones joining it may take time to the team to get that organisation and cohesion back. It was a good effort and a good starting point. Thanks to coaches Joel and John, and to Jim and the Under 16s who stepped in to boost our numbers.

Over 35s v Diamonds lost 0-1
It was a tough start to the season for the over 35 team being allocated a ground away from the club and supporters at Glen Park where it was blowing a serious gale. Up against a solid Diamonds outfit, our best football was needed if we were to beat them. The game started late which further unsettled the team but despite this some quality football was played in the first 10 minutes with a few chances gone missing. Then we began to lose our structure and it was tight game with our strong defence holding up to go into the break nil, nil. Soon after the break, a lapse in concentration lead to the first goal of the game to the opposition. With some of the players leaving the game early for other game commitments, the team fort hard all across the park looking for the equaliser but couldn’t capitalise on opportunities going forward. An excellent save from Eddy who stepped in to goals meant the score line remain at 0-1.

Reserve Men v Diamonds lost 2-3
The Ressies started slowly and conceded early goals which made the day difficult. Finding themselves down by three goals the team improved greatly and were unlucky not to get some points. Manny and Jacob playing their first senior games both played really well. Blake, Milky, Wally and Mick Corkett also played soundly.

Senior Men v Diamonds won 2-0
Great to have the seniors start the year with a win. It was a good team performance with all players doing a top job. Jerome played particularly well and scored twice. The defence
kept a clean sheet with Joel Mc having a strong game. Mick and Dylan Nabbe played well in their first games for Spurs and young players Zac Fordham and Luke Dahl were terrific as well.
