Presidents Report
What a cracking day it was on Sunday. The sun was out for most of the day and Aloysius and Lambert Parks were in fine nick, and there were plenty of supporters around watching some great football.
I know the 12 Boys were particularly happy about playing on the main field for the first time, they put on a superb show in front of the Hotspurs Hill. All games will be played on the main pitch at Aloysius when we have our last home game against Boomers in a fortnight. We want to make it a real carnival atmosphere before the pitch is resurfaced for next year and beyond.
This week is the last round of Miniroos at Jelbart before the end of season Gala Day at Willow Park. We are running the BBQ and duty and require many hands on deck to help set up and pack up.
Reminder to also bring your chocolate money in and give it to either Olivia Howard or Narelle Tuksar.
This Sunday we are playing away at Heart.
Let’s make it a great round for Hotspurs, so get along and offer your support.

Match Reports
Div.1 Men v Myrtleford lost 1 – 3
It was a bold effort from our boys against one of the leagues strongest teams. For 75 mins we frustrated them. Blunting their attacks and even creating a few chances of our own. It only took a moment from their star player to break the deadlock. The last 10 mins goals flowed, Jon Cochrane getting our goal from a corner. The team continue to play above themselves and look to have a strong last month of the season.
Div.2 Men v Myrtleford lost 0 – 1
It is hard as a coach to sit on the sidelines and watch a team work so hard and not get any points for their efforts, yet again. Unfortunately for us they capitalised one of their very limited chances and we just missed out a couple of times up their end. Anyone who was watching the game would have been amazed that we are sitting second last and they are equal top, that is how well the team is playing. Thank you to everyone for their efforts in the game and also to those who helped out with the duty jobs.
Div.2 Women
Over 35s
Div.3 Men
16 Boys v Myrtleford won 5 – 1
Reviving hotspurs disappointing loss from last round, hotspurs improved there game by the 5-1 win. Harrison made some great saves only to concede to a direct free kick. There was some outlying moments, Harry played with a hamstring injury and being nailed by the ball in the nuts. Reese covered Clarke’s ass for his bad defence and Kristian scored two missing the third because Cody nabbed it.?
Clarkey played one of the best games he could as striker for 5 minutes and proved his valuable spot in the team in defence by not letting the team go down 3-5.
Rupert said he will enjoy his burger and so will I.

14 Boys
14 Girls v Myrtleford won 5 – 1
A great game from the girls who created many scoring chances. Our defence were awesome lead by Lil, Alex and Elisha. The girls passed the ball around well, the other teams are closing us down more. We have one more game left next week before we go into three byes in a row, we must keep focused and play hard if we are to see the grand final. A really solid team effort Awards to Elsiha(House of trends) and Georgia(Muffin break) who saved a cracker!! A huge thank you to Rylee and the regular Under 12s who play every week. Keep working girls and lets finish next week strong!!
13 Boys v Myrtleford lost 0 – 2
Yet again the score was not reflective of the game we played. We did the most attacking in the first half and deserved to be on the board with Alonso just going wide on a couple of occasions. Cooper was limping from the 12s so Alex took up position as our defensive half doing a ripper job. Ethan was again superb in the goals keeping us in it.
Attrition was probably to blame for this result, with Dustin and Daisy coming off with groin injuries and Alonso and Cooper struggling with their overuse injuries it made it difficult to get our shape and structure. The week off has come at a good time of the year, hopefully we can recover some of that great teamwork form a couple of weeks ago.
Awards: Alex Ventress, Ethan Haberfield
12 Boys v Myrtleford won 4 – 1
We finally got to play on the main pitch giving us a little more room and the buzz from the crowd on the Hotspurs Hill.
Cooper opened our account early from a corner kick, somehow bending it reverse aka Roberto Carlos.
Will went for yet another brilliant run in the box and as it seems the only way they can stop him is cutting him down from behind. Cooper slotted the penalty and another volley and we were 3-0 up early. With our first full team of the year we rotated a few players into unfamiliar positions. Defensively we held up strong in both halves and both sides of the midfield were able to push wide to add to our attacking efforts. Well done to Elisha Wild for a brilliant solo effort to finish the game with a goal.
A big test against Heart this week should see where we end up in the finals.
Goals: Cooper x3, Elisha x1
12 Girls v Myrtleford won 9 – 1
A dominant display from the girls with great efforts all across the park. The Spurs passed the ball around well and dominated possession in both attack and defence.
It took some time for the first goal to come, which was an impressive individual effort from Elisha midway through the first half. From the on, the goals flowed quickly with Zali scoring three (enjoying her opportunity in attack), Rylee two (one of which was a well-rehearsed goal from training – off a corner), Elisha scoring another crack after a run from midfield, and fantastic goals to Alice and Poppy (Poppy’s from outside the box).
Well done Spurs, a great win.
Big thanks to Lucinda and Ava for being in goals.
Special mention and awards go to Eloise, Lucinda, Poppy and Zali for their impressive contributions during the match. Thanks to House of Trends, Muffin Break and Urban Graze for providing the awards.
