Presidents Report
On Sunday we were in Wodonga playing Heart. Most teams had some great results but the greatest came from our U/14 girls who not just had another great victory but have now secured enough points to win the League title. Great work Fiona Smith, Narelle Tuksar and team, indeed a proud moment for the club. Congratulations.
This week we host Boomers in our last home game of the year. Hopefully the weather is kind to us and we get a blockbuster crowd. All games are fixtured to be played on the main Aloysius Park ground before it is scheduled to be resurfaced over the next few months. Get along and watch, it promises to be a cauldron like atmosphere, and rumour has it Gary has got something special cooking in the canteen.
Chocolate fundraiser
Thanks to our members who sold/purchased their boxes of chocolates during our fundraiser. As we endeavour to keep our registration fees as low as possible, the amounts we raise from fundraisers like these go towards things such as the strips the teams wear, the balls and goals we train with, the lease on the facilities and also the trophies they receive at the end of the year presentation. Like most clubs, we are not-for-profit and rely on these finances for the everyday functioning of the club that all players and members enjoy. Thanks again all involved.
Alec Mills
On the weekend we heard the great news of one of our former junior stars Alec Mills being selected in the U/18 Young Socceroos team.
Alec -the son of club legend Darrel- played his junior football at Spurs before moving to MUFC and recently playing with the Melbourne City NPL team. Congratulations on this fine effort Alec, this is something all our junior footballers can aspire to. We wish you luck on the world stage.

Match Reports
Div.1 Men v Heart won 3 – 1
Wasn’t the most pretty performance but we got the job done and three more points in the bag. We will have improve a lot against a strong Boomers team this weekend in our last home game of the season. Goals to Jon Cochrane, Luke Dahl and Ben Gardiner.
Div.2 Men v Heart won 4 – 2
Well it finally happened, the team got what they deserved and had a win! As we have said before, the boys have been playing some very good football without getting a result and it was nice to see the boys with a smile and hear them belt out the song! No one could be faulted on the day, as has been the case for the last 6 weeks as we dominated possession and tried to stem the flow of some interesting penalties. We also had the privilege of having our 16 fresh and ready to fire. Next week will bring us back for the last home game of the season against 6th place Boomers, hopefully we can score an upset!
Div.2 Women
Over 35s v Heart won 2 – 0
Was this the start of the road to redemption for a deflated figure in Wildhinio to resurrect his failing striking career? The gaffer had sent out the team formation just hours before the kick off in an attempt to make sure Heart didn’t get word of the team or more importantly, the positional change for the promised one. There was a hush over the crowd in the realisation that Wildhinio had been sent back up front in an attempt to break the curse of Loz and hopefully get his name in lights, as he and his brainwashed children can only see. Gaz thought he was seeing double with the amount of strikers in front of him and his warm up delivered what could only be deemed and an inspiration to the lads on the bench, thinking he won’t last 5 minutes. The we dictated the game from the start with marauding runs, crosses and shots going, just wide, hitting the post or picking out the keeper. While Heart got us on the counter attack and forced the human beard into a couple of nice saves. At half time we were urged not to let this one slip after such domination and then finally the great one stood up to be counted, T-Bone. Winding back the clock and scoring a brace he finally broke the shackles of being in the shadow of Wildhinio. Whitedog and Loz worked tirelessly in the back and carried the defensive efforts well. Thanks to Scotty for taking one for the team and sitting out and also running the line. We have moved up to 6th and have a bye this week before taking on the might St Pats in our next encounter.

14 Girls v Heart won 6 – 0
A huge congratulations to the Under 14 girls who on the weekend wrapped up the league and finished on top of the ladder with only 1 loss for the season.
Each and everyone of the girls has played an important part to this result and they should feel very proud of their achievements. We now head into a row of Byes before finals so will have to make sure we train hard and keep focused on making the Grand Final. The girls absolutely loved running off through a tunnel of reserve woman and Parents. Awards to Elise who scored an absolute cracking goal- her first goal!! and Mya who volunteered to play keeper second half and also scored a great goal. A massive thanks to all the parents who support each week. A great bunch of girls, keep working for the finals girls and play as a team.
13 Boys
12 Boys v Heart lost 1 – 2
We always expected a tough clash with Heart, they have a couple of outstanding juniors.
They got on the board twice early in the first half with some slick individual efforts. In the second half we were dominant but missed out on scoring until the last minute where Lenny cracked home a ripper in the box. With a couple of defensive tweaks I can see a huge improvement if we meet them again.
Across the park everyone had a much better second half with highlights from Nic down the right side of the midfield and Murray at centre back both getting the weekly awards.
Goal: Lenny
Awards: Nic and Murray
