Presidents Report

Sunday was again a ripper day down at Spurs. Although we had quite a few postponed game due to a Rep Carnival in Bendigo, there were still bumper crowds at Aloysius.
It sure is unseasonably hot for the start of the season, and games are becoming a battle of attrition.
We are home again on Sunday, and it forecast to be another cracker, bring the sunscreen.

50 year anniversary
We are currently looking forward to our 50 year celebrations in 2023.
To make these celebrations the best they can be, we are asking for volunteers to offer their time to help organise our major social event and also all the other parts of the celebration.
If you have been around the club for weeks, months or years, we would love to hear from you with your ideas. info@alburyhotspurs.com.au

Div.2 Men v United Lost 0-5

With a heap of experience coming back into the team with Jon Coch, Townie and Eggy, we had a dominant first half.
We couldn’t quite put all our dominance with the ball translated into goals and was 0-0 at the half.
With all the experience also came a few younger players who are still working on their fitness base and who had also played 3rds in the game prior. Our lack of attrition and fresh legs really showed in the second half, the score didn’t reflect how close a game it was but we know the results can be reversed next time we take them on.

Women Div.2

Over 35s v United Lost 0-2

It was a game of two halves, both were 35 minutes long with a 10 minute break between. It was nil all at the beginning and only 1 goal was scored in each half. Unfortunately it was United who scored both times.

Div.3 Men

17 Girls

U17 Girls played United with a convincing display for our first game of the season. At half time the only comments were around more talking and movement off the ball which was improved throughout the second half. Final result was Hotspurs 17 – United 0. Scorers: Roisin 6, Charlotte 5, Rylee 3, Keely 1, Mya 1and Alice 1. Thanks to Shanaya and Rylee for being goal keepers on the day. Also, shout out to Maddie who put it all on the line including her nose. Well done girls.

16 Boys v United Won 7-0

Missing a couple of our top age players at a rep carnival, our 16 boys did a fine job.
Wildy gave us a 20 minute burst before changing grounds to play Ladies. We wont mention the tap in she missed just prior.
Pat Mason was again on fire bagging 5 before the coach dragged him to save his legs before 3rds and Ressies.
Across the board the players are really improving and are getting fitter and smarter with their team work.
Cooper and Alonso were pivotal with their passing and Kohans leadership was excellent in the middle of the park with both he and Cooper opening their scoring accounts as a reward for effort.
We welcomed new comer Xavier Wall, who had spent the last few years playing Rugby league but his improvement was evident in every minute he played.
A highlight of the game came in the second half, showing his empathy to the opposition, Dustin asked the Spurs coach to sub off one of the United players who was evidently injured.
Big game this week, Cobram will be tough, but no doubt we can get the dub.
Goals: Patrick Mason x 5, Cooper and Kohan 1 each

16 Boys v Wodonga Heart Won 4-3

We got off to a sluggish start against last years League Champions. Many players were starting to find their feet but fitness and touch wasn’t the best after a long off season.
We were 2-0 down at the half and Coach Brad seemed a little bit upset at the teams failure to perform basic tasks and show a little effort when competing.
The coach pulled out top drawer spray he usually reserves for later in the season.
It worked, the team woke up. We got one back pretty quick and players like Lucas and Tyreece started to boss their way defensively. Frank, Cooper and Alonso started to get on top in the midfield and we found a few more avenues to let Pat Mason do his thing up forward. He ended the day with a hattrick and our impact player Elisha Wild also finished a nice shot with her last kick of the game.
It was a proud moment for the team who showed heaps of resilience to fight their way back against a well drilled team.
Goals: Patrick Mason x3, Elisha Wild x1

14 Boys v Wodonga Heart Lost 0-4

There was a huge improvement in the group this week after going down 9-1 last week to the same opposition. I challenged the team to pressure high up the field and to take better care of the ball when we are in possession and they did exactly that.
Bailey had great game between the sticks, denying Heart a number of one on one opportunities and his much improved kickouts set up a couple of quick breaks.
Lucas, Rylee and Eve went well in the middle, with Indy and Cooper having great games in the defence.
Not the result we would have hoped for but a marked improvement nonetheless.
Thank you to the u13 boys that backed up to give cover on the bench.
The team would like to wish a speedy recovery to Josh Nicholls who done himself a mischief on Friday and will be missing for at least a month.

12 Boys v Wodonga Heart

A good day to be on the park and a good contest was had!l against Heart. was a tight start to the game and was clear this was going to be a tough game and the first goal would be important.
Half way through the first half and they scored on the break and our heads went down. We did regroup in the second half and played well out the back and tried to use the width. We were a few players down and are still getting used to the small pitch but proud of the way the way we kept at it! Good efforts boys(& M) Go Spursies!

Presidents Report

We are back. It was a hot start to the season for Hotspurs on Sunday. Most games were played against St Pats at Alexandra Park with a couple of juniors heading to Glen Park.
Our Senior men and women had some very strong results which really reflects the hard work the players and coaches have put in during the preseason.
Its great to be back for no doubt the first full season in 3 years. A big thanks to all the volunteers for your efforts behind the scenes that make the game possible.
And a special thanks to all that came down on Saturday for our working bee. The fields are marked, rooms tidied, and canteen ready for action.
This week we are hosting Wodonga Heart in what should be an excellent round of football.
Get down and support the Spurs on Sunday.

Div.2 Men v St Pats Won 4-0

In what was probably one of the youngest ever Division 2 Mens teams to take the park for Spurs, they certainly did us proud.
Jay Compton, Cody Wild and Brodie Davies have been with the club right through Juniors and it was exciting to see them get their first taste of senior football. They really held their own against some season campaigners and some rough tackles.
Current U/16 boys players Kohan Wilhelm and Patrick Mason were also given the opportunity and got right into the thick of the action. Pat was a bulldozer up front and Kohen ran all day and supplied some terrific passes. Add the likes of the zippy 17 years old Solomon Ntigonza and It’s a great sign for the years to come.
They were lead by the experience of Joel McDonough in goals and was also great to see him on the park again. Leo Castles and Neil Van der Ploeg got the scoring underway and was iced by Marius Bashimbe with a brace.
This team could look a little different in the coming weeks with injured players returning but there is definitely healthy competition for spots coming from these youngsters.
Well done Spurs, great start to the season.
Goals: Marius x2, Neil , Leo 1 each

Over 35s v St Pats Lost 1-3

With a less that ideal preseason, this was always going to be a tough game but with new off season signing of the powelldog and the long awaited return of the international man of mystery anything was possible. We started off with defence holding well and some nice passages of play and went into the halftime break nil all. Even the 2011 reserves runner up best and fairest Mick Carroll hit the cross bar not once but twice. The master coach pulled some positional changes for the international man of mystery to break through for a nice goal early in the second half and we had them on the back foot. When what would have been a definite goal to Loz was called offside and a couple of mistakes in defence, we let them back into the game. Pats bringing on some fresh legs they then over ran us in second half to score 3 unanswered goal. The long awaited presentation of the 2011 award after the game was well deserving.

14 Boys v Wodonga Heart Lost 1-9

Not the ideal start for this team who have just come together in recent weeks. Due to the game being played at Boomers while u13s played elsewhere, we were short players for kick off. A huge thanks to the u14 girls that were more than willing to have a game and to the u13s that came straight from St Pats.
We started relatively well, despite losing a couple of early goals to a much bigger and physically developed team. A few changes before halftime seemed to confuse the players positionally leading to us conceding a few more just before the break. We were down 8-0 at halftime but the talk was all positive from the players.
The second half was much improved and our attack started to ask some questions of the Heart defence, with Eve, Rylee and Lucas taking every opportunity to attack. We conceded a 9th goal somewhat against the run of play despite an excellent save from Bailey from the initial effort. We got the reward for our pressure just before the final whistle when we were awarded a penalty. Lucas was meant to be our penalty taker, but proclaimed to all in attendance that Rylee had had such a good game she deserved a goal and handed her the ball. Rylee as always made no mistake.
Strong performances from the entire team despite the loss and some promising signs for the rest of the season. Wodonga Heart at home next week, where hopefully we can welcome back some more of our u13s to the squad.

12 Boys v St Pats Won 11-0

The U12’s were eager and enthusiastic in their start to the season. The boys attacked from the start and we were treated to some cracking goals. There were 7 goal scorers and I was pleased to see the team start to knock the ball around well. An excellent way to kick off the first game! Go Spursies!!

 

12 Girls v Boomers Won 5-0

How good is it to be back playing Sunday soccer! Our under 12 girls welcomed Lily B, Milly, Isla, Evie, Emme and Scarlet into the side from our miniroos program for their competitive debuts for Spurs. Before the game we announced our leadership group of Molly, Lily N, Emma and Muireann who will share the captaincy throughout the year. Our focus this week was on our structure and positioning, our leadership group could be heard throughout he game telling everyone where they needed to be. Great effort girls!
To the game we came out of the blocks flying with Muireann and Izzy both going close almost immediately. The Boomers girls, most of whom were making their first appearance in competitive soccer made things very difficult for us. Muireann eventually broke the deadlock after a weaving run through the Boomers defence with a powerful finish. This was followed quickly with a goal from Milly on her debut after great work from Isla and Stella in the build-up. Izzy scored her first of the day with a strong finish using her pace and trickery to skip past the Boomers defence. Harper and Evie went close to adding to our tally only to be denied by some great goal keeping. Molly also went close following a sensational move from our goal kick which we rehearse every week and is how we want to play out of defence. This was the play of the day as it shows our work on the training ground is paying off. As ever Lily N was dominant defensively and had both Emme and Lily B working hard next to her.
At half time we asked the girls to see if we could lift the intensity and focus on ball retention. The girls controlled the game and kept the ball moving. Molly eventually got the goal she deserved through great grit and determination chasing down a ball that looked like it was out. Izzy added the fifth and final goal to round off the scoring. Late on Boomers had a couple of breakaways which Evie on debut showed great heart to chase them down and turn the ball over.
We welcome Twin City Wanderers to Spurs Stadium in the 12 girls on Sunday, hopefully we can keep up the momentum with another win.
