Presidents Report
On Friday night we held our annual Spurs Trivia night. Around 120 people attended and had a ripper night with the over 35s table coming out slender victors. From all the feedback, everyone had a great night. Thanks to our MC Mick “Tony Barber” Corkett for doing another professional job with the questions and another huge thankyou to all our sponsors and donors for the grand amount of prizes and donations.
On Sunday the club played at Latrobe against Diamonds. There were some terrific results across the board and the seniors keep their finals dream alive with a dominant 0-2 win. This game marked the end of the line for a great club servant Paul Kinning. Kinno came to Spurs from Heart in 2014 and played numerous games in our senior lineups. Not only was Paul a great senior player but was also integral in the coordination of the Miniroos over the last 4-5 years. Under Kinno’s watch Hotspurs now boasts the largest Miniroos contingent on the border. We wish Paul, Hollie and their 3 kids safe travels on the next chapter of their lives as they move to China.
This week we host Myrtleford in our second last home game of the season. It promises to be a very tough round for all grades. Get down to a game or two and offer your support.

Match Reports
Div.1 Men v Diamonds won 2 – 0
We were a bit flat in this game but still managed to get the result in the end. We had a number of chances to take the lead with Luke Dahl, Ben Gardiner and Harry Heath failing to finish. It was only the last 15 mins we really started to click and thats when the late goals were scored. Jacob Schreiber with a well placed finish to open the scoring and then Harry Heath with an excellent pass from Ben Gardiner sealed the result with his first goal of the season. It was also the farewell game of our beloved central defender Paul Kinning who is off to China with his family. All the best Paul on your next adventure and thank you for all you’ve done for our club.
Div.2 Men v Diamonds drew 0 – 0
It was another fantastic effort on the weekend and a massive turnaround from the first time we played them. Once again the boys played their positions and heart out but just couldn’t find a way past the keeper, the dodgiest ground in the association and some interesting decisions. Brandon once again held his head high and led the backline, we were treated with a guest appearances from Nabbe and Townie(well for a few minutes anyway) and Zac and Alex worked tirelessly up front. The belief is there and the squad is getting stronger each week and we just need to get a win for the efforts.
Div.2 Women v Diamonds won 15 – 0
From the onset it was a dominant display by the Ladies against an undermanned Diamonds Team.
Goals started to accumulate quickly and it was 10-0 at half time. The Ladies played a great style throughout the game and continue to develop their passing game and put their training drills into play on the field. Passages of play were a pleasure to watch and it is great to see the team enjoying their matches. The result saw the team sneak into 3rd position, however a tough game this weekend with a few players out, will really test the team.
Goal scorers were, Ava 6, Jess 4, Bella 1, Formosa 1, Laura 1, Bree 1 and 1 own goal.
Over 35s v Diamonds drew 0 – 0
After a triumphant effort on Friday night at the trivia night, the boys had to get their emotions and celebrations in check to play an improved Diamonds outfit. We arrived and had noticed that the curators had worked hard on the main pitch to get a mix between a beach volleyball court and a subcontinent green wicket! Such is the trust that the association has for our completion, they even allocated us to play with a club ref and club linesmen (thanks Kel) and usual this game was a pulsating encounter with plenty of advice being offered from both teams on how the game was being played. Both teams had their chances but the deadlock couldn’t be broken. Aido was welcomed back onto the sidelines to run the squad and was even offered praise by the oppositions forward. Unfortunately for us we just couldn’t squeeze on past the keeper and thankfully for us Rob didn’t squeeze one past Butsy. The whole team played well and the subs made valuable contributions, Coatsy wound back the years in the midfield role! We are in a real dogfight for the 4th/5th position and will now play one week on, one week off until the finals. This draw still has us in 7th and we have a bye this week.
Div.3 Men
16 Boys v Diamonds lost 0 – 1
16 Girls
14 Boys
14 Girls v Diamonds won 2 – 0
A great game and good result for the Under 14 girls who continue to battle it out for top spot on the ladder. It was great to have a bench this week and we were well supported by the Under 12 girls. The girls played well and created many scoring chances up front. Our defence were amazing with everyone playing well.
A great team effort. Awards to Lil(House of trends) for her Goal keeping, Rylee for a great goal and her work up front(Muffin break),
El for great defending all game(Muffin Break) and Alex for leading the defenders(Hungry Jacks). Keep up the great work girls!!
13 Boys v Diamonds won 5 – 1
Our passing game in the first half was as good as it has been all year. Daisy, Ruby and Alonso all linking up and setting up Cooper for a colossal 4 goal haul in the first half. Ben also managed to beat the keeper for a fine goal. The second half was a little less consistent with a few of our players feeling fatigued on the boggy pitch and our scored stayed on 5 with 2-3 goal opportunities being deemed offside.
Huge improvements were made this week from Al and Paras at right and left back, this is a good sign for when we play a strong Myrtleford side this week.
Awards: Tyreece, Daisy
Goals: Cooper x4, Ben
12 Boys v Diamonds won 5 – 1
Its was great to see the U/12s putting some consistent and polished performances together. Will, Cooper and Lenny setting up opportunities with great ball control and smart distribution. Nick also played great football down the right midfield, sending in a few dangerous crosses.
Billy and Will both scoring a brace and Carl scoring from a tight angle. Hopefully we can see the same consistency next week against Myrtleford.
Awards: Charlie, Carl
Goals: Will x2, Billy x2, Carl
12 Girls v Diamonds won 1 – 0
A tough and nail biting game for Coach and fans to watch, but a last minute goal to Elisha secured the result for the Spurs for a 1-0 nil deserved win.
The Spurs dominated possession throughout the match and a bolstered defensive line and effort meant the bulk of the game was spent in the attacking half. Alice and Rylee made some impressive runs, but the highlight was the team effort across the park – the Spurs wanted the ball more than their opposition. The dominant possession led to numerous chances on goal, but with the opposition flooding the defence it made scoring difficult.
Coach Wild masterly pushed Elisha forward in the dying minutes to secure the win with a fantastic strike.
Another great result for the girls – the result maintains their position on top of the ladder.
Big thanks to Ava and Sophia for being in goals. (the girls were so dominant, neither goalie touched the ball).
Special mention and awards go to Bianca, Lucy and Taylor for their impressive contributions during the match. Thanks to House of Trends and Muffin Break for providing the awards.
