All Age Ladies div 5 gracious in Grand Final loss

2011-09-11T19:34:00.004+10:00

Sun 11th:

Holroyd Rangers All Age Ladies div 5 team were gracious in defeat today losing their Grand Final 2-0 v Kellyville. A couple of good early shots on goal did not fall for us then Kellyville scored on the counter attack. The score remained at 1-0 for much of the match. We had 2 more good chances - a curling free kick from Shannon almost snuck in the near post, and a flicked high shot from Kacey almost caught their keeper napping. It was not to be our day though because with 5 minutes left to play we were pushing forward in an attempt to grab a late goal when Kellyville snuck through for a 2nd goal. All the girls should hold their heads high for a fantastic season and should be proud of getting to the Grand Final. Well done on a great season - we are proud of you all.

U9s Gala Day

2011-09-01T17:59:00.002+10:00

The Gala Day, held at Granville Park on Sunday 28 August, was thoroughly enjoyed by both players and parents alike. The U9 White team performed extremely well, given the hot weather and playing some teams from higher divisions. The day started on a high, with a win over Winston Hills Orange 3-1. The highlight of the game was William Bremner, who is usually the goalie in the U9 Grey team, scoring his first-ever goal. Game 2 against Castle Hill United Orange was tough and but the teams were evenly matched, reflected in the nil-all draw.

Game 3 versus Kellyville Knots was also tough, with goalies on both sides having great games A goal late in the game by Holroyd reduced the deficit to 2-1. Game 4, against Granville Waratah Brown, was very evenly matched. A great goal by Anthony in the second minute got Holroyd off to a strong start. Basel Georges scored two goals in the second half, with the latter taking the score to 3-2. But a goal by Granville in the dying minutes of the game robbed us of our second victory of the day, with a 3-3 result.

The final two games of the day were a ‘pot luck’ draws played after lunch. We drew two teams from higher divisions, Merrylands and Lidcombe. The entire team put in great efforts in both games, which was not reflected in the 0-4 and 1-3 scores.

Basel Georges was the team’s leading goal scorer for the day, with Anthony Elbazi not far behind. Goalie was rotated throughout the day, with a notable performances by Waseem Salim and Sebastian Hashim. Congratulations to all team members for putting in strong performances over a very long day, which also included Kyle Schembri, Alfie Laguzza, Amber Robertson, Saro Sorani and William Bremner.

AAL5 through to Grand Finals

2011-08-28T17:18:00.000+10:00

1-0 win to the AAL/5 against Castle Hill sees them go straight through to the Grand Finals. The only Holroyd team to go straight to Grand Finals.
It was an exciting match to watch.
Sara scored in the first 5 minutes of the match. Holroyd continued to take shots and were pressing Castle Hills goals all first half. Second half Castle Hill were at our goals a bit more. However, Jess made some absolutely brillant saves that gave Holroyd the upper hand. The whole team worked hard to retain their lead but were tiring in the last 10 minutes. While Castle Hill were in the Holroyd goal mouth quite a few times in those last 10 minutes Holroyd kept at it and with the help of Jess managed to shut the opposition down.
Congratulations Ladies we knew you could do it

3 out of 4 through to finals

2011-08-27T18:00:00.001+10:00

Nailbiting finishes today in the race to the finals.

The 15/3s were down 3-1 at half-time. Showing a lot of heart they then scored 3 goals in the second half and won 4-3.

The 16/2s scored the first goal of the match via a penalty handball call. Guildford County then equalised. Plenty of opportunities in extra time for both sides but no score. Penalties seesawed with AJ making some magnificent saves. It took 10 penalties to each side to get a result. Unfortunately we missed out. The boys played valiantly and should hold their heads high.

The 35/3s were up 1 nil after scoring off a free kick. The opposition scored early second half to equalise. Then halfway through second half there was a handball by Granville Waratah in the penalty box clearly seen by the linesman. Holroyd put the penalty away to go up 2-1 and this was the final score.

The 35/7s won 2-1.

Congratulations to the 15/3s, 35/3s and 35/7s all progress to the finals next Saturday.

We look forward to the result at Ladies 5s match tomorrow at Lidcombe at 3pm.

Focus on Under 14s

2011-07-23T20:04:00.001+10:00

The Under 14s have come up from playing in Division 3 last year, to U14 div 2 this year.

They have improved throughout the season while adjusting to the higher division.

Initially Mark coached the team but due to some extra work commitments he was unable to continue. Fortunately, Dave, dad of Jesse, who had coached the team in previous years offered to coach the team again.

Vicki, mum of Paul, has been managing the team for many years. Vicki has also coached or managed many different teams at Holroyd Rangers in different age groups. Vicki is also a long serving Committee member.

Some ex players have returned to the team after a break trying other sports. The team also have some new players.

An example of their improvement during the season: their first competition points for the season was when they drew with Winston Hills. Then the second time they met Winston Hills they won 2-0, making that their first win for the season.

All games this weekend washed out

2011-07-22T18:38:00.001+10:00

Due to players away we turned up with 9 only to find they also had 9. We quickly took the ascendancy and controlled the game from beginning to end playing a superb passing game. 5-0 at the half but NR toughened up 2nd half and kept the score respectable when a blow-out threatened. Great to see some nice finishing from Omar (3), Huss (2), Chris and Sonthy. Chris, Ryan and Scott played really well, and AJ pulled off a couple of nice saves late in the game to keep a clean sheet. Great to see the 1-2 passing from the boys.

Over 35 div 7 v Granville Kewpies Won 5-1
Over 35 div 3 v Granville Waratah Won 3-1
Down 1-0 at the break we stuck to our game plan and ground out a terrific win with 3 well taken headed goals in the 2nd half. Unofficial ref was fair and did a good job. Inspirational game from the Capt.

Focus on Under 15s

2011-07-15T19:34:00.002+10:00

The Under 15s division 3 team have a squad of 16 players, coached by Shawn and managed by Paul. The team is fortunate to also have ongoing coaching assistance from Ingrid and Gary.

Many parents from this team are also active in the operation of the club. Julie, Paul, Gary, Michelle and Sharon are on committee, Shawn does the line marking on our fields and John (past Club President) is on our Parks committee, and his wife Amanda who is always willing to volunteer in canteen or help out in any other capacity.

A majority of the boys have been together as a team for many years under the continued coaching of Shawn with some of them having played with Rangers for over 10 years. Their numbers have been strengthened with some new players this year.

In previous years the boys have reached Grand Finals but the Champion trophy has eluded them.

They are hoping that this will be their year. They are currently third on the table.

See more photos of this team on our Holroyd Rangers Facebook page.

Focus on Under 9 Greys

2011-07-15T16:30:00.001+10:00

The Under 9 Greys are coached by Rodney and managed by Ian and train together with the Under 9 Whites. Ian as well as Rodney play for our O35/7 team. Ian's son plays in goals for the Greys.

Recently the Greys team needed a few more players. Both the Grey and White teams took on the challenge and with the help of some colourful flyers produced by Paul Jones from our committee they helped signed up some extra players.

The Greys have a couple of players that are playing above their age in this team with also 2 girls in the team.

They play 7 a side football with smaller fields and modified rules. There are mainly new players in this team with a few who have played with Holroyd Rangers before.

Rodney is doing a lot of work with them in preparation for next years change to the big field for those moving to Under 10's.

Over 35 div 3 v Lidcombe Waratah Won 3-2
Another win over the Goats in a similar fashion to the first. We hit the ground running and went up 2-0 inside 10 minutes with great finishes from our 2 strikers. LW consolidated and grabbed a goal late 1st half after holding a lot of possession. Mid-2nd half we grabbed our 3rd before they hit back with a late goal of their own and then pressed hard for the equalizer. We toughed it out defensively and grabbed a valuable 3 points.

A terrific game to watch with our experience triumphing over their youth. Nicely placed goals from Ness and Claire (some would even say spectacular) with great lead up work from Sherrie. Great play in the centre of the park from Mel and Rochelle, and Amy was terrific in goals.

All Age Ladies div 2 v Auburn FC Won 4-0

Parramatta FC train with our U16s

2011-07-04T22:34:00.001+10:00

Parramatta FC U16s visited Holroyd Rangers tonight to train with our U16s team.

The Parramatta FC coaches took both teams through their pre game warm up routine, did a series of drills for improving ballwork and movement and then organised a game.

Afterwards everyone enjoyed a free sausage sizzle.

Holroyd Rangers was very impressed with Parramatta FC's professionalism, friendliness and willingness to share their knowledge.

Our U16's boys described it as awesome.

Thanks Parramatta FC.

Despite us having 10 players it was an even game for the most part and both teams had a chance or 2 to score in the 2nd half. GC finally put 1 away with 10 min to go and that proved the difference. Need to pick up our fitness levels to tough out the final minutes in tight games like this.

Greys with only 9 were always going to struggle. When Shearers shot hit their keeper and he fumbled it over the line the floodgates were opened. Nice to see a few of our lads getting on the scoresheet. Game played in tremendous spirits.

Focus on Under 9 White

2011-06-12T20:19:00.002+10:00

The Under 9 White team trains together with our Under 9 Grey team, and both teams are coached by Rodney. U9s play 7-a-side football on smaller fields with modified rules. The White team consists of some players from last years U8s team, as well as some new players to the club.

Rodney's plan for this year is for the players to improve their soccer skills, develop their positional play, and improve their teamwork, with a view towards moving to the U10s and playing on the full field next season. So far this season the Whites have had 4 wins and 4 losses and are enjoying their soccer.

Rodney has been associated with our club for several years, previously coaching one of our girls teams. His daughter Maddi coaches our U6s team and his daughter Lauren plays in our Ladies div 3 team, and Rodney himself plays in our Over 35 div 7 team. The whole family including Rodney's wife Corinne are committed volunteers at our club. Kyle's dad volunteers to referee most of the home games and Ian is the teams manager. We wish the U9 White team the best of luck for the rest of the 2011 season and look forward to them coming back as part of U10s team on the full field next year.

Look out for a Focus on the Under 9 Grey team coming soon!

U9 White v Winston Hills Won 8-1
U14 div 2 v Winston Hills Draw 1-1

U15 div 3 v Greystanes Won 5-2

Round 7 was an away game Greystanes. A 5-2 win puts us second on the table with 11 matches to come before the finals. We are considering getting purple boots for all our players considering the form that Jordan has displayed whilst wearing his. In another week where “team play” could be considered, Man-of the Match Jordan wears the individual accolade for his attacking and scoring efforts.
We started off strongly; the first 2 of our goals were from Jordan’s purple accoutrements. The first was a more individual effort. The second, starting from a Greystanes return keepers kick where possession was taken by Aiden passed to Jordon who put a though ball for Ryan down the right wing. Ryan’s cross was dropped nicely at Jordan’s feet who finished with a sweet strike, that the keeper could only get a fingertip to, clearing the inside of the right hand post. 2-0.
Within 15 minutes we were 3 up after Nathan, camping on the far post, powered a ball low and left of the keeper from a Ryan cross. The Greystanes players lifted somewhat and after a busy passage of play cut through the centre to put on past our keeper. 3-1.
The remainder of the half was an strongly contested. Fadi E. is known for his commitment, effort and resolve was forced from the field after a thumping tackle with a bigger a opponent left him hobbling. And he was not the only casualty. Scott, still one of the busiest players on the pitch, caught two powerfully struck balls in the face. Both near the right eye. One, unfortunately dropped from his face sweetly for Greystanes who cleaned up the goal from three metres out. His second facial came in the second half courtesy of Greystanes’ biggest player. This time the ball went clear but left Scott developing a nice shiner. I’m sure he make some mileage of this with the girls.
Coming off the bench Mitchell got involved straight away, challenging strongly and clearing some risky situations. Dennis’s defensive skills were prominent throughout the match. During play executed and clever attacking run down the right, finishing with a wonderful curving pass only to have it stymied short of the 18 yard box where the attack was turned around.
A few minutes later Jordan materialised midfield cutting skilfully through all opposition to finish with a low shot inside the left post from six metres. 4-1. The smell of desperation was strong on Greystanes at this point and had them shooting wildly from distance in an effort to turn the tide.
Just before half time we had a chance to add to the score but a free kick from Ryan, at thirty metres, went wide of the mark.
The next 35 minutes was an arm wrestle, with them raising their standard, after what must have been a rousing speech from the Greystanes Coach. We met the challenge.
In response to a concerted attacking effort from our opposition Nathan took possession to put a quality pass through to Matty, on the wing, who’s effort were barely spoiled by desperate defence but earned us a corner.
Our defenders were now working overtime to thwart our rival’s aggression. Novvi seems to have grown an extra leg this year as seen with his ability in handling all attackers. Later in the match a lone marauder, having got through our defences, had only Alex to beat but had not accounted for our keeper charging out, to cut off the angles, and sliding in low to clear the attack with his right sole. At times Alex was under pressure from corners and other serious assaults on goals. His size and reach helped in taking crosses and shots out of the air that may have confounded a smaller keeper.
Now a good keeper shows commitment in his moves but they should consider the heart conditions of the spectators when they run virtually to the sideline to clear a ball. In clarification of the situation; when committing to chasing this ball, no attackers or defenders were close as it drifted across the goals. This, however, did not remain the case. Every man and his dog soon saw possibilities. After the 20+ meter foray wide Al got a half-clearing boot to it and sprinted back to the goals that were covered by the usual suspects, Scott and Tyler. Tyler had another good game ranging widely from his centre back position. At one point he managed a serious shot at goal that was handled by their keeper.
With 15 to go Greystanes redoubled their efforts but our team play kept them at bay. Andrew B had a one-on-one with a bigger player, not only beating him but earning a free kick. Fadi N was pivotal in keeping the ball flowing through the middle. Our last goal came from a sterling passage of play with Ryan and Jordan employing the “triangle” play down the right side with Jordan finishing another of Ryan’s crosses. 5-2. An excellent game to watch. Well done boys. Cheers
The Proud Manager

U16 div 2 v Parramatta City FC Loss 3-0

The U16's played with so much heart and just didn't give up. Some spectacular saves by AJ. The 3-0 loss did not reflect the game with it being nil all until the last 15 minutes of the game. The spectators were very proud of the boys.

U16G div 1 v Auburn FC Loss 1-0

Each week the U16 Girls are showing their mettle. Last match against this team was a 4-1 loss. They were all over Auburn FC this time with more shots on goal. Auburn only scored in the last 10 minutes. Good work girls, keep it up.

All Age Ladies div 5 v Winston Hills White Won 3-0
As the match commenced, Winston Hills came out with all guns firing and given that we only had ten players on the field as some girls were running late due to prior commitments, we were put under the hammer.
However the defence held and with Jessica (goalkeeper) having her best game of the season stopping anything that was thrown at her, the tide was slowly starting to turn. Against the run of play, Sherrie hit home our first goal neatly slotting the ball past the Winston Hills goalkeeper. Winston Hills came back at us. With the combined efforts of Elise, Stephanie, Shannon and Sarah Mc, Winston Hills were held at bay and slowly but surely Holroyd began to take control of the match (my thanks go to the girls in the defence for their efforts).
The midfield got cracking and with Kacey, Dee, Kimberly, Nathalie and Shayley starting to call the tune, they started to run the Winston Hills midfield into the ground. After a quick set of passes the ball came to Nathalie who took aim and blasted the ball into the back of the net to bring up our second goal. As the pressure increased and Holroyd went searching for their third goal, Winston Hills handled the ball in the penalty area. Shayley took the ball, placed it on the spot and drove the ball past the goalkeeper which sealed the result.
Sarah P and Sherrie worked extremely hard in the attack and I have no doubt they both have a few bruises for their efforts, both the girls put in the hard yards and at times Winston Hills defence were only chasing shadows with Sarah P and Sherrie leaving them standing.
I would like to thank Ezra for giving up his time to coach the goalkeepers at the club last Wednesday night. I spoke to Jessica about her outstanding performance after our game against Winston Hills and Jessica commented that she had put into practice the techniques that Ezra had shown her and this had helped her with her goalkeeping and helped her save a near certain goal.
I would also like to give a big thank you to the supporters who come along to give the girls encouragement, I know that the girls appreciate you taking the time to come along to their games and your support helps lift the side when things are not always following the script.

All Age Ladies div 3 v North Rocks Loss 5-0

North Rocks definitely had the better of us in the first half ending the half 4-0 up. We had a better second half with many forays to their goals but no luck. It is a testament to our team that each week with illnesses and injuries, as much as possible everyone keeps turning up to put the effort in. Special note goes to Mel who played with a strapped ankle and Ness who was not well and on her birthday too and Sheree who talk a shocking knock to her neck in goals. We finished our game and celebrated Ness's birthday with some lovely cake courtesy of the Peatmans. Happy Birthday Ness!

All Age Ladies div 2 v Castle Hill RSL White Won 5-2

Focus on U16 Girls

2011-05-27T20:32:00.004+10:00

Coached by Joe and managed by Sandy, the U16 girls team are finding their footing after moving up to Division 1 this year. Last year our U16 Girls team were the Champion winning team of Division 2.

This year the team consists of 6 girls from last years team along with the return of two previous players who have come back to play with Holroyd. 6 new players came on board with a few of them having never played soccer before.

Joe and Sandy are focusing on the girls enjoying themselves while improving their soccer skills. The team have recently increased their training to twice a week and this paid off as the girls had a recent 1-1 draw.

Last weekend playing at home for the first time the Holroyd supporters were excited when the girls scored first and then went on to score another one to be 2 nil up. Late in the game their opponents scored and Holroyd supporters were on tenterhooks. At one point our goalie got her hand to a shot that was certainly going in and tipped it around the post. The girls held on with a few more saves from their goalie and won their first game of the season 2-1 to the delight of parents and supporters.

Its good to see that all their hard work is paying off for the team.

Goalkeeper training

2011-05-26T19:41:00.001+10:00

Excellent session Wednesday night of specialist goalkeeper training.

Thanks to Ezra for volunteering his time and expertise with our goalies.

Hope our goalkeepers enjoyed it as much as I did (and I'm no goalie).

Next session Wed 8th June at 6:30pm. All our goalkeepers are welcome to attend.

Focus on U6's

2011-05-21T21:09:00.001+10:00

The U6's have a squad of 5 players and are coached by Maddi and Kaylah. Maddi has been associated with our club for several years and coached our U6's last year. Kaylah is a player in our U16 Girls team. Our U6's range from some nearly 5 to some turning 6 this year. One player played with our U6s last season but the rest are all new players.

TheU6's play in a competition against other local clubs in the Granville District Soccer Football Association. So far this season they have won 2 games and had 1 loss, and are really enjoying their football. They play Small Sided Games '4 v 4' which is a modified form of 11-a-side football, designed to meet the needs of players under the age of 12, who have very different developmental characteristics and needs to adult players. It aims to provide more touches on the ball and skills development through enjoyment of the game.

U9 Grey v Parramatta City Loss 14-0
U9 White v Wenty Waratah Loss 4-3
U14 div 2 v Lidcombe Waratah Loss 6-0
U15 div 3 v Kellyville Won 5-1
A cracking match to watch this weekend between us Under 15/3s and Kellyville, played at home.
Ryan was the stand out for the first half with continuous forceful play and controlled aggression. He was the “dominator” through the centre. Jordan created a goal with a glancing header from a Ryan cross in a crowded goal mouth. It went from head to ground beneath the keepers outstretch hand causing desperate lunges by Kellyville defenders only to see it pass the line for one nil. Another of Ryan’s crosses created the opportunity, again for Jordan, our most prolific scorer, to slot home a second. A simple direct run and crisp strike by Ryan brought up our third goal of the day.
As a mere manager I was impressed by the effort of the whole team. Our passes seemed cleaner and we took more control from the “first touch” than has been our regular play. We created numerous chances with a run of five shots sliding by the right hand post in as many minutes. As with all games a team can only play as well as their opponents allow. As an example Tyler, this week’s Man of the Match, must have clocked a good number of frequent flyer miles as he contested many of the keeper-return-kicks with high leaps and clean headers. No wonder he has done so well as a high jumper at school. Although “tagged” a centre back he spent a goodly amount of time turning the attackers around and helping create chances from the midfield.
Fadi N. got the taste of blood after finishing a strong attacking play which left the ball loose 5 metres from the goal. He made no mistake in finding the back of the net and spent the rest of the game rushing the goals in search of any loose ball. With that attitude there will be more goals from his boot. Aiden seems to have raised the standard several notches with aggressive play and some clever, accurate passing that instigated more than one successful attack. Mitchell’s noticeably increased speed and commitment has made a significant difference for our defences.
Make no mistake, Kellyville are no slouches. They created quite a number of serious chances but only scored once with a low ball driven to the left of our diving keeper. Alex’s alertness and anticipation stopped several of the attacking runs, that slipped past our diligent defenders. His clearances were strong. Our final goal was classic Matty by outpacing the Kellyville defenders down the left wing, angling in and netting powerful left footer above the keepers left hand into the upper corner.
It’s hard to credit each player as an individual as a simple touch can turn defence into attack and an attacking opportunity into a goal. Or a chasing sprint from behind the attackers to hook a ball over the sideline can let our defences form up to cover the goals. Absolutely everyone contributed to today’s win. Well done!!! If we can keep this up it might be our year. (The Manager)

U16 div 2 v Rydalmere Won 2-1
A scrappy and ugly win. We lowered ourselves to their level, played too many balls in the air, not enough controlled passes to our players feet, need I go on? Having said that our 2 goals were nice finishes from Seb and Huss, but we should have put away several more and killed off this game much earlier. Instead they get a penalty call giving them a sniff of getting something from the game. AJ pulled off a stunning penalty save but alas it rebounded straight back to their striker for a simple tap in. Need to improve quickly as we play the top 2 teams in the next 3 weeks.

All Age Ladies div 3 v Guildford County Draw 1-1
Soccer can be a cruel game sometimes - we were the better team on the day but did not capitalise on it and put more goals away. DJ and Ness winning and controlling the ball well in the middle, but need to offload the passes and through balls a little earlier. Ness scored a cracking goal as reward for her hard work. Niccy was a real handful for their backs to contain. We look real good when we spread out and play the quick passes to our players. Backs were strong all game and it was just an unlucky bounce that gave them their goal.

All Age Ladies div 2 v Merrylands SFC Loss 5-2

Mon 23rd May (round 6 catch up game)
All Age Ladies div 3 v Castle Hill RSL Loss 9-0
Each week you can see we are improving our game, in this new division. This game we were up against a team whose average wins have been 9-0. For periods of the game we were at their goals quite a bit but just couldn't convert. Dee from the ladies 5's helped us out and she was a little pocket rocket, chasing and challenging for the ball at every opportunity. Rochelle turned up to play even though she wasn't 100% well. Overall everyone put in a huge effort. Heads up ladies, and onto the next game.

All Age Ladies div 5 v Castle Hill RSL Loss 1-0

The Ladies 5 had their first loss of the season. Heard from the coach and players that the game was pretty evenly matched with Castle Hill perhaps having the edge in energy over Holroyd who played with no reserves.

All Age Ladies div 3 v Castle Hill RSL Wht Deferred game
All Age Ladies div 2 v Toongabbie Won 3-0

Nearly went to watch the Matildas play at Gosford but instead watched our Ladies 2 play at Merrylands v Toongabbie. And I was not disappointed.

Rebecca traps the ball.

The game was great to watch, with the whole team using each other to keep control of the match. Passing was spot on, and great through balls made the most of the speed of Sarah and Lauren who ran onto the balls with ease. The new players are fitting in well and did not back off, challenging well for the ball. About 15 minutes into 2nd half a little bit of concentration was lost and this was the only real chance that Toongabbie had, with a one on one with our keeper. Kristin timed her run out perfectly and kicked the ball away, with it ultimately being cleared by the Holroyd defense. 5 minutes until the siren blew and an unlucky handball in the box gave Toongabbie a penalty. Kristin was up to the challenge and saved the ball to keep a clean sheet for Holroyd. Minutes later we were on the attack and a great pass to Lauren wide on the right was well controlled and she then expertly passed it through the centre just in front of Sarah. Sarah ran onto the ball and as the keeper came out to her, Sarah kept her composure and neatly placed the ball in the right hand corner of the net. The whole play from the girls was beautiful to watch. Congrats to the ladies and to Rob their coach. For us spectators it was a very enjoyable afternoon at soccer.

All Age Ladies div 5 v Ermington Won 10-0

The game was only minutes old when Nathalie (captain on the day) thundered a volley shot in to the bottom left hand corner of the oppositions net setting the theme for the game. Whilst the score line of ten nil indicated one way traffic, Holroyd's defence was kept busy with Elise, Stephanie Larissa and Sarah all putting in big performances. Jess (goalkeeper) pulled off some good saves and turned defence into attack with her accuracy when required to kick the ball back into the field of play. The midfield was tireless in their efforts with Kasey, Nathalie, Dee and Shayley working hard and winning the ball time and time again, special mention goes to Shayley who's runs up the right hand side of the field cut the Ermington defence to pieces. Congratulations go to Dee and Kimberley who both scored their first ever goals. Finally to the forwards Sherrie, Sarah and Kimberley, as always they were hard to catch and did not give Ermington's defence a moments peace. It was good to see Holly at the game, unfortunately Holly injured herself pre-season and is unable to play this season. Her contribution to the team will be missed this season.

All Age Ladies div 3 v Greystanes Won 4-2

All Age Ladies div 2 v Pendle Hill Black Loss 8-2

Our players on the field at Sydney FC game

2010-11-25T18:33:00.001+11:00

Last Sunday 18th November some of our players volunteered to help at the Sydney FC game at Parramatta Stadium. They all got free passes to the game as did one parent. They were seated close by when Sydney FC scored their two goals to win the game. An added benefit was that they got photos taken with Shannon Cole, Mark Bridge and Hiro Moriyasu.

Clubhouse clean and clear

2010-11-01T20:32:00.000+11:00

A small army of dedicated and mad volunteers brushed, cleaned, cleared, scrubbed and washed. Everything was pulled out, assessed, reorganised and or refiled. New storage racks built as well as things hung. Apart from all the hard work it was all done in good humour and great spirit and we are all pretty proud of how it all looks now. We will be well organised for registrations and next season. So if you notice make sure you let us know how great it all looks.

Clubhouse clean-up day Sunday 31st October

2010-10-27T13:05:00.000+11:00

Sun 31st Oct at 10am.

Clean-up of the whole clubhouse both inside and out. All help is welcome no matter how large or small.

Anyone with specialised cleaning equipment, e.g. water blaster/gurney, would be particularly useful.

Should only take a couple of hours and then we will relax with a BBQ lunch. Hope to see you there.

U21 Girls Champion of Champions Grand Final

2010-10-27T13:03:00.000+11:00

Last Sunday our U21 girls team face Culburra in the Champion of Champions Grand Final. Unfortunately they were defeated by Culburra 6-1. However of note, Sarah Mason from our AAL2 was the only player to score a goal in the game for Granville. Sarah was definitely a key player for the Granville team throughout the tournament and it was a pleasure to watch her play.
It was really great that the team got to Grand Finals and in fact was the only team from Granville in any age group to reach Grand Finals.

U21 Girls Champion of Champions

2010-10-18T12:52:00.006+11:00

For some of us the soccer season has ended.
For others it continues, and one of our players from the All Age Ladies 2 team, Sarah Mason, has been playing as part of a composite team representing Granville District in the U21 Girls Champions of Champions Team.
On 10th October the girls played against Marrickville and won their game.

Yesterday on Sunday 17th October the girls played against Rooty Hill RSL.
Granville scored in the first half and this was scored by Sarah. Granville had the best of the play and numerous other scoring opportunities but couldn't increase the difference. Rooty Hill had a few shots but were denied by Granville's keeper who was fearless in her saves and was probably a bit battered and brusied from quite a few collisions with their strikers. Unfortunately in the last two minutes of normal time Rooty Hill scored to equalise. Two extra ten minute halves were next with more chances by Granville. In the second ten minutes both the Granville goalie and a Rooty Hill striker were down for the count after a collision in the box. We had to leave at that stage so hope both girls are all right. However we received the good news by text that Granville scored in the last 20 seconds of extra time and yet again it was Sarah from our club who scored the clincher.

We are very proud of Sarah and congratulate her and the other girls who make up the U21 girls team who have made a big effort to come together as a quality team within a short time period. Congratulations also to their Coach Dee Johnson.

A few images video of Sarah in the two matches for you to view below.

Grand Final match is at Valentine Park next Saturday 23rd October at 11:00am.

In very windy conditions a tense battle saw Kellyville score mid-first half against the run of play. 15 minutes into the 2nd half we equalized through a penalty kick. 2 more goals followed soon after to put us 3-1 up with 10 minutes to play. Coach Hopper said later he had faith all along the girls would get the job done. Well done to all the girls and the coach and manager. Great to see so many Holroyd supporters there to cheer our girls home. Congratulations girls.
