Our penultimate game saw us travel to Wodonga Heart, who sit bottom of the ladder and beat us in round 1. A win was heavily desired in our pursuit of finals, so we welcomed Mitch, Neil, Furzy, and Joel into the side from the ressies. We were playing well, but their quick forwards were causing us problems early on which led to Furzy making a heroic goal line clearance. After diminishing their only way forward, we were very much on top and just like the majority of the season, our only problem was hitting the back of the net. Joel, Nati, and Neil all came close but in the end our efforts weren’t enough to win all 3 points. This result leaves us in 10th, just 1 point off 8th. A win is crucial in keeping our hopes alive for making finals, so let’s hope we can put on a strong performance against St Pats!

We ventured over to Willow Park on Saturday to take on 3rd placed Heart.
We started flat and seemed to panic a little bit when we had the ball, Heart put 2 past our keeper and went into the half time break up 2 nil.
We spoke about playing our way and that we were still in this if we played the Spurs way.
Early in the 2nd half we broke through for our first goal with a header (mulleter) from Connor. This seemed to spark us up a bit and we became more and more dangerous as the game went on.
Julian got his first, then a second goal came his way and closely followed was his third to give him his hatrick.
The final score was 4-2 our way and the Twin City Tiling awards went to Millie, Alec and Archer.
This is the completion of our home and away season and we have finished on top without having lost a game so far this year.
Look after yourselves heading into finals and keep getting to training.
No fear, no egos, no excuses

After the high of watching Matildas win through on Saturday night there was a buzz around the soccer field Saturday morning. The pitch was water soaked and ripped up from Mini Roos games the day prior.
The sun was shining, and the day was set, only 2 games to finish off the home and away season, the direction at training and pregame was to finish the season strong as we started it.
The girls started strong with 15 shots on goal and 90% of the ball played in our forward half yet no goal score. The half time chat was about stepping up a taking on the game, and making the shots count.
It wasn’t long before or leading goal scorer Amarlie found the back of the net. To Wodonga Hart credit they pressured us in attacking brake throughs and tested Golden glove Lilly to pull a big save. After harper having a short break on the bench we got her back up from and it wasn’t long before she found the bottom corner and our 2nd goal. 2-0 win. We move on the las tfound of the home and away season coming up against the improving Twincity, hopefully we can finish the season off strong as we started and take the momentum into finals.
