Match Reports

16 Girls v Twin City won
Firstly it was great to see TCW field a girls team in the first time in many years. We played 8 v 8 on the main pitch with an early start.The girls passed the ball around well and put together some nice combinations of play. This was a very solid team effort with each and every one of the girls playing some team beautiful. The goals were shared around by the whole team. A huge thank you to the U13 girls who help out every week, without you guys we don’t have subs. Keep up the great work girls and enjoy the Easter break. Thanks Rob for giving Justin a break running the line.

Thirds v Twin City won 1-0
A much better performance from the Thirds this week resulting in a closely fought game and a good win. Despite the unexpectedly cool conditions and the rain arriving in the second half the team did much of the running and had a number of chances before Denzel, in the only score for the game, capitalised on a error from the opposition keeper. There were two penalties, one for each side, but neither resulted in a goal. Commendations to goalkeeper Will for a stunning save. It was quite a physical game with many stoppages given for rough play. Well done too to the backline who effectively stymied the opposition’s attempts at attack. Thanks to Ben and Zac for running the lines.

Over 35s v Twin City drew 3-3
This was a classic over 35’s game – it had it all.
Spurs were the underdogs up against last years champions but it didn’t take long to see Spurs were up for the challenge. Despite losing the skipper (Kelvin) before the start of play and also losing Aido (Aidon) after 2 minutes to injury, spurs came out firing.
In a blistering first half, Spurs scored 3 classic goals, 1 from Eddy (Eddie) who beat the Goalkeeper in the Air, 1 from Coatsy (Coates) who beat everyone to dribble the ball into the goal (even though he almost broke the net with how hard he put it in) and 1 long range rocket from Bonetti (Mark). Platini (Underhill) was unlucky to be offside as he slotted a disallowed goal. The favourites didn’t know what had hit them but somehow found a goal before half time to go into the break 3-1.
After the break Spurs old legs started to fail and with that the structure of the team started to fall apart. White Dog (Wayne) worked tirelessly in defence, but again the favourites managed to sneak another goal (cracking own goal) taking it to 3-2 to Spurs with about 20 minutes still to play.
Next came a moment that will probably become Spurs folklore. Wildinho (Wild) won a challenge in Spurs own 18 yard box, decided to take on the a couple of the Wanderers defence before launching what can only be described as a Long Range Nuclear Missile that beat everyone except the crossbar. The cross bar shook for about another 10 minutes but unfortunately it wasn’t a goal. Some say it was from 65 meters, but in reality I think it was 68 meters.

Tuksar was also unlucky not to snag a couple of late goals as their keeper somehow managed to pull off a couple of miraculous saves. But the game continued, with Irvine himself pulling of a couple of great saves to keep Spurs in the lead, however another goal to the bad guys just before full time left the game at 3-3 at full time. In what was a highly entertaining game, football was the winner and loser. Irish (Irish) and Doug (Doug) had strong games but it was Wildinhos almost goal of the year that was put in everyone’s memory bank.

Reserve Women v Twin City won 6-0
The team was pretty pumped about wearing the new strip and to see how they felt, well we can say we got a win wearing the new tops!! And they look good!
Thank you to our sponsors for providing new gear!
Well Sunday greeted us with rain very different to last week’s windy conditions. The team started off strong but found in the first half that Twin City crowded the ball especially in the middle of the park, which made it a little difficult to get the passes to team mates. It also made the team panic a little on the ball but with our half time pep talk and re-focus for a better half, the team came out even stronger for more goals.
The backline Kelly, Caity, Kendal, Snowy, Sam did an amazing job shutting down the opposition with super goal keeper Christie not seeing much of the ball but made it count when she did. This also allowed the team to push the ball forward and pile on the pressure to the oppositions backline and keeper.
Score at half time was 2 nil up with the final score being 6 nil – goals scored by Jess B x 2, Bella x 2, Anna & Millie (even though the referee put those 2 goals down for own goals – the girls are owning them).
What an awesome win for the ladies and they felt very proud signing the club song! The game was a morale booster and we are eager to take on the next game against Albury United. Thank you to Fiona Smith and Justin Godfrey running the lines for us especially in the wet weather, we truly appreciate your support!
Bella, Millie, Anna & Jess B all had impressive games!
Enjoy your Easter break!
