Our Ladies had 2 games last week and what great games they were,

Div2 Ladies vs Boomers
What a cracker of a day for soccer. Our ladies were ready and pumped up for this game,
We were missing a few troops but that didn’t stop the ladies. Spurs come out firing, Passing and tackling was amazing.
We controlled the midfield which won us the game, our backline was ever so strong not letting many balls pass through.
A BIG CONGRATULATION to out U/14 player Lily Freund making her Div2 Women’s Debut, she did not look out of place.
Spurs won 4-0, was a great effort by all. Goal scorers were Steph 1 Seanna 3.
Also I big shout out to Gary for helping me out and refereeing the ladies again.

Div2 Ladies vs City
This games was another fantastic effort by all, and for a Wednesday night our spur supporters were there to cheer on.
Thanks to those who were to support our ladies. We won 7-0 Goal scorers were Ava 3 Bella 2 Steph 1 Seanna 1
Thanks to all the ladies that were available for this midweek game

Div.3 Men

Over 35s Men

After last week’s humiliating defeat and then to have the club president rip in to us for our position on the ladder which was hampering his goal to achieve the Club Champions trophy 2023, we knew a much improved performance was a must or we’d have to face the wrath from Mr Angry Pres again.
Even though we dominated the game we left the door open for Boomers by not converting our dominance into goals. Luckily for us they didn’t take a few chance they had and 2 goals in each half were enough for us to be victorious with a 4-2 results.
Hopefully that will keep the Pres off our backs for awhile.
James Brodie should have been awarded a free kick and been booked as well for the horrendous tackle he made on himself.
Harro’s shot, if you can call it that, is still in orbit!
Brad’s outside the foot speculator became a goal and an assist having hit the crossbar then the post to bounce back to him to then score was a highlight of the match.
New and young recruit Rudy forced one of the old boys out of the squad and he didn’t disappoint. He showed his youthfulness with dashing runs and interplay up and down the wing.
Milk got a brace, Brad and Kinno also scored.
Everyone contributed to and enjoyable game and day at Spurs stadium G2.

17 Girls

Won 3-1
On a cool and frosty morning the Under 17 girls traveled to Wangaratta. The girls were passing the ball well and creating many scoring chances but was made difficult by the length of the grass and the water on the ball. Our defenders were awesome and super strong to hold them out and not allow them to score, Sophie had the goals covered well. Our midfielders were also strong and playing some great combinations. Our forwards were also quick upfront and trying to finish the chances being put through. A massive thank you to the Under 14 girls who traveled to support the girls and played well. A massive thank you to all the parents who supported and came to Wangaratta away from the club to get back for other games. It was a great game and we look to play them again this week.
