U10/5 v Pendle Hill Loss 3 - 5 

Definitely a game of two halves with our team looking fit and chasing the ball with gusto. Jonathan scored first and the mids Sebastian, Fraser and Jack worked well together to keep the pressure up. Jarod, Ella  and Nejtheh in the forwards showed some good skills and team work. Our backs Josh, Jacob and Elie for most of the game were strong in defence. Joel was the goalie this week and played really well saving some hard shots at goal. As the rain came down our team kept trying. Jarod scored twice in the 2nd half by being in the right position and waiting for the ball to come to him. Although this is a new team the skills shown are promising and the development will improve each week.

13/4 v Lidcombe Churches      Draw 3 -3

What a day to be a duck! With what is possibly the wettest conditions that many of this team have played in, Knowing how to play wet weather football is something that comes with experience. The result is a just result for todays game with both teams working hard for each ball. There where some outstanding periods of play which more than not resulted in their goals. With our team continuing to work the ball, personal ball security now has to become a priority, we must value and own the ball more than we do, when we lose the ball to easy we let the opposition straight back in (own the ball). In the wet conditions today you can all hold your heads up, you all did a good job to come from behind. Goals, Harry, Simon and Ben.

As always heads up.

35/5 v Pendle Hill     Loss 12 - 0

Sack the captain! Today Richie won the toss but again that's all we won. Thanks to Matt, I hope everyone knows not to drop the F bomb it is a RED CARD guys.

With everyone turning up 1/2 hour  early (not) it looked like it was going to be a hard slog, in the end we played with 10 and all 10 tried until the final whistle with a zero score that means Floyd is still leading goal scorer at least we have a for and against. Craig our keeper made some great saves, but still had some dry spots, Richie as usual ran all day along with Matt & George, the great thing so far is that no one has given up we are still trying. This year will not be easy, but we have a five year rebuilding plan. Thanks to Frank who spent a wet day on the sidelines. Please can we turn up a full 1/2 hour before the game. Thank you.

35/6 V North Rocks      Draw 2-2

This was a rare opportunity for the old boys to remember what it was like to play in the mud.

The rain was the main factor in this game with half the field covered in puddles, the ball was stopping dead and passes travelling only inches. The teams were pretty even but we had the edge in the mud as this suited our style of play. Spud in goals saved a certain match winner with Dominic and Geno having good games.

The team improved significantly from the last game and everyone really put in. Our new international, off season signing Andy on his maiden game scored both goals and is leading the tally board. Fortunately no injuries in the slippery conditions just very wet and cold old fellas.
