Match Reports

11 Girls v United won 7 – 1
A great game and team effort from all the girls in very hot conditions.
The Spurs dominated possession throughout the match, gaining confidence to move the ball around and find space down the wings.
The Spurs managed to keep the ball and the opposition in the attacking half with an impressive defensive effort from Zali, Eloise, Bianca and Lucy. Some good clearances from defence and decisive runs down the wings, by Alice, Rylee, Isla and Seanna had the opposition scrambling. The dominant possession in attack lead to great first half goals to Alice (super strike from out wide), Imogen, Mia and Seanna.
Fresh from her first half stint in goals, Ava came out firing in the second half with several decisive runs and a blistering goal. Isla, Imogen, Mia, Rylee and Taylor all looked menacing in attack with some fantastic shots on goal. Mia ended up bagging her second, and Taylor scored a well-earned goal.
Well done Spurs – an impressive effort from all the Team, and an impressive start to the year.
Special mention to Ava and Poppy for being goalie, and to Craig for filling in for Super Coach.

11 Boys v United won 7 – 0
After a dominant but slow start and missing a few key players, the team found the back of the net only once in the first half, missing free kicks and a penalty.
But a combination of great team positioning and leadership from Carl and Sam saw the boys regroup and hit their straps for a nice win. Birthday Boy Aydan scored a ripper goal to break his season drought.
Cooper was rope-able that his father dragged him to the pine before he could manage a hat-trick. Special mention to Aiden Lescun-Davies coming up from the u/9s to get a taste of the big league, and dint look out of place nearly scoring.
This week’s leadership award goes to Carl Liden for listening to the coach and selflessly putting his team mates first with some classy through balls into space.
Goals to Cooper x2, Aydan, Billy, Josh, Harrison and Isaiah.

12 Boys v United won 6 – 2
We were down some key players in Tahlia, Ruby, Daisy, Ashleigh and Lenny today who were away at AWFA Reps, and also Al who didn’t check the newsletter 🙂 (Its all cool Al)
The void was filled with eager U/11s wanting to step up to the larger field. After another slow start and a warmer day the boys were showing signs of fatigue, mainly due to chasing/ fighting each other and climbing trees for an hour preceding kick off. After half time refreshments, lollies and oranges and a rocket from the coach, the team refocused and turned the tables on the opposition.
Some great through balls up forward from Louis, Carl and Zavier saw Ben and Cooper find the back of the net on multiple occasions. Ben showed a lot of class again when he flicked the switch.
Special mention to Trae who was outstanding down back showing impressive pace and poise, not bad for a kid playing his 3rd game of proper football.
Goals to Ben x 2, birthday boy Aydan who scored another ripper, and Cooper who finally got his hat-trick, albeit with the aid of a 90 degree deflection off the opposition.

16 Boys v United lost 3 – 5
A tough game against a fast United outfit. Our boys did well not to let them dominate all game and it was a couple of lapses in our concentration that let United score.
Big clap for our two goalkeepers ( Zac and Harry N ) who kept the score down with their great skills. Great work coming out of the back line lead well by Connor.
Goals going to Harry Maher, Jacob Godfrey and Jack Castles.
Big thankyou to Brendan O’Neill for running the line for us.

Thirds v United lost 0 – 1
Another loss for the Thirds, going down 0-1 on Sunday, despite some great play in the second half that led to opportunity after opportunity to score. United scored their only goal in the first half and after that no-one was able to find th back of the net. Kudos to goalkeeper Will for a few terrific saves and to Mitch who had a great game. After a half-time exhortation from Joel to keep their heads up that’s exactly what the team did, and were unlucky not to get on the scoreboard. In their determination to keep driving forward Harry injured his ankle and had to retire and Oliver catapulted into the bench. United’s defence were sorely tested, especially in the last part of the game, but Hotspurs just ran out of time. Thanks to Damian (of the Over 35s) and to Zac for running the lines.

Over 35s v United lost 2 – 3
Always a tough physical game against United and this time round was no different. We started off strong keeping our structure tight and keeping possession. 10 mins in and Damo finished some good work from the midfield for the first goal. Unfortunately the Referee had decided we would play an extra 5 minutes each half and just before the break a lapse in defence gave them them the equaliser going into halftime 1-1. The second half we were outplayed early and only kept in the game by some brilliant saves from Butsy. They managed to brake through finishing a rebound ball off the crossbar which gave them the lead. We slowly clawed back into the game with a number of attempts narrowly missing. The equaliser coming from a lovely Harro finish from inside the box. With 5 mins to go and against the flow of play they scored the winning goal of the game. (2 of their goals comming in the extra 5 minutes we normally don’t play!)
