U/7 ALOISI v POPOVIC Wenty Won 4-0

U/7 NEILL v ALOISI North Rocks Won 5-1
Match report: This week we returned to our normal game and the final scoreline showed that. The players started to play in their correct positions and they reaped the rewards. Some great forward play was shown by Ethan, Rayaan and George. Our goalkeepers Lucas and Nikolai played well and Jazmin, Billie and Jordonn played well in defence. Player of the match went to Billie and the Encouragement Award went to Jazmin.

U/8 v SKOKO Kellyville Loss 3-0

U/9/ 6 v Kellyville Won 2-0
Match report: Todays game we had to shuffle a few positions around due to Sam being out injured. The team played fairly well to come away with a 2 nil win. Guys we have to remember to keep our feet on the ground when we do a throw in .Keep up the hard work at training and these small errors will go away. Vicki (Coach)

U/10/ 3 v Baulkham Hills Won 5-2
Match report:An excellent early start game for our young Rangers this week. Despite being 1-0 down early on we never really looked in trouble after we found the equaliser. Some really good passing from every player. It's nice to see that everyone is starting to look up when they have the ball for someone to pass to. Some good defensive play from our fullbacks and great attacking runs. Three goals to Alistair this week (one from a penalty), and one also to Alan and Cameron, who is fitting in well in his new position as striker. Some players still need to try getting to the loose ball first, and if you miss a tackle, don't give up. Keep chasing and you'll get them! Three wins and one loss now should have us somewhere at the top of the table - a great effort considering we have moved up a division this year and that we have some new players who have never played before.

U/11/ 4 v Wenty Waratah Won 1-0

U/12/ 5 v Lidcombe Falcons Won 2-1
Match report: In this game we should have had the advantage. They only had 10 players but you wouldn’t have noticed because their players were passing well and covering our players. I seem to remember hearing how some of you were going to show the girls how to play… mmm. Our game wasn’t consistent, despite having possession of the ball the majority of the time, we did very little with it. There were some examples of good accurate passing, and then other times we were kicking to the invisible team members. As Greg says you have to want it; you have to want to get the ball into the net, you have to be determined when you kick the ball that you’re going to achieve what you set out to do. The big white rectangle at the end of the field is the goal area; remember... that’s where we want the ball to go. The goalie can only be in a small part of this area, instead of aiming for him, let’s aim past him. Clean throw ins, accurate passing and crossing, first to the ball and determination. Some excellent defending from Mark (Man of the Match) saved the play on many occasions. Overall, we can play much better than this, you are capable of passing and attacking with accuracy so let’s see it. Can’t wait for next week’s game, GO HOLROYD!!!! (Manager’s viewpoint)

U/15/ 3 v Auburn District Won 6-3

Match report: For 20 mins today boys we were on fire, I'm not sure what happened to the other 50 mins. We did score some great goals today: Brad 3, Matt 2 , Aaron 1.Well played to Matt, the coach gave you instructions at training which you followed and result 2 goals for yourself . Mark, Hopper , Matt and Brad were my standout players today . Some final words from the coach, some positional changes were made today. Without even consulting me, the result cost us a couple of goals. Lets play the game boys and leave the running of the sideline to Mick and myself. Coach.

Sen 3 v Greystanes Draw 1-1

Sen 7 v Greystanes Won 2-1

O/35/4 v Baulkham Hills Loss 1-0
Match report:A lot of injuries at the moment and the bare 11 was a struggle today. Would have been nice if our strike force put a couple away out of the 45 shots that they had. The backline will set the nets up for the next home game hung from the baseball club house roof, that's where most of the shots ended up. The phantom was back today and tackled our centreback. He stumbled followed by a lunge followed by lets stick the boot out for the ball on his way to eating some turf. You beat Terminator's - yours had a bit of a twist with a double pike with a degree of difficulty. Not a bad team effort today, we were up against it from the start. (Courtesy of the Terminator.)

O/35/5 v North Rocks Loss 1-0
Match report:The game of the round for us against North Rocks. It was a hard fought battle and one of our more testing games so far. We had plenty of shots at goal but couldn't get the ball between the posts. A lucky goal to North Rocks in the first half was the only goal scored. Some good performances by Gerry, Chris and our joint man-of-the-match holders Lippo and Don. It was our first loss of the season but it was not our worst game. We still seem to be ball watching and waiting for the ball to come to the player. A lot of our kicks are speculators and our games do not reflect our training sessions. North Rocks certainly know their home ground and how to play it. They have come a long way since we beat them 10-0 on that ground several years ago.
