Match Reports

12 boys v St Pats won 2 – 4
The first half we created many opportunities for no reward. Facing a stiff breeze the team dominated play but lacked the final finish to go into half time without a goal. Despite solid defense from Lenny, Sam, Trae and Tyreece, a couple of lucky breaks for St Pats saw them register 2 quick goals from as many thrusts forward. We used the wind in the second half, some great crosses in by Cooper, Ben and Daisy saw Aydan score a brace and Louis crack a ripper goal after some neat footwork.
Special mention to Ruby who played numerous positions with great skill and also Ashleigh who used her pace up front to great advantage.
Awards go to Trae who keeps learning and has a big future, and Louis for his ripper goal.
Goals to Aydan x2, Louis, and Ben. Cooper 3 assists.
Two big teams to take on this next fortnight, if we bring that brilliant second half, we will knock them both off.

14 Boys v St Pats lost 2 – 4
Sunday we took on St Pats, we may not have left with a win but the team played exceptionally well.
Having 3 of our top age players out we had some young guns fill in and boy they did a great job.
Losing 4 – 2 to the top side the team should be proud of themselves.
Goals scored: Dawson 1 Jack Furze 1
Make sure we all get to training as we have another big game this Sunday

Thirds v St Pats won 2 – 1
The game kicked off at 9:55am between Hotspurs and St Pats with strong cold winds blowing across Alexandra Park in an easterly direction not favouring either end of the pitch. Hotspurs had a lot of play early in the first half but it wasn’t until the 15 minute mark that a combination cross pass from Oliver to Mitch and onto Bautista who snapped Spurs first goal.
Hotspurs defence was strong with support and terrific back up from Manny Charters Harry and Casper all combining well to shut down any opportunity that St Pats put forward. Spurs Goal Keeper Will also did a great job saving a number of goal attempts during the game.
Changes were made by Coach (Joel) towards the end of the first half with Denzel coming off for a rest and Raymond thrust into attack hopefully to gain another goal before half time. Raymond moved well and offered a few supporting shots at goals with assistance and set ups from wings and forwards but wasn’t able to get Spurs a second goal before the half time break.
At half time it was highlighted by Joel that the game was ‘For the Taking’ but full commitment and concentration was required by all players to go on and win the game.
The second half got under way at 10:40am with the strong cold easterly winds still blowing across the ground. Once again Spurs did most of the attacking but couldn’t find the back of the net. With five minutes to go before the final whistle was blown St Pats striker scored thus balancing up the game, one all.
A sense of silent went through the Hotspurs Team (and supporter base) as they had dominated most of the play throughout the game but as known that doesn’t always give you the win.
The ball was taped from the centre circle and passed into Spurs attacking forward line not wasting any time to secure a second goal. With determination and pressure placed on the opposition Spurs were able to draw St Pats defenders and goal keeper away from the net enabling Denzel to score a very quick and timely goal putting Spurs two one up before the final whistle gaining the win and three points.
As special mention and thank you goes out to Joel & John for coaching the team and Alison for her weekly Team Manager Duties. Also to John for running the lines and marshals assisting with match conduct.
Also a big Happy Birthday to Raymond who turned 18 on Saturday 14 April 2018.
Go Spurs!!

Over 35s v St Pats lost 1 – 8
A tough day out. The team started poorly and went from bad to worse as game went on. A dispointing result that we can hopefully bounce back from as a team getting back to the basics.
