Round 13 results - catch up games played on Sunday 22nd July

U/7 Neill v Popovic Wenty Waratah Won 4-2
A hard fought win today that had all the crowd buzzing with excitement. There were some great runs up the wing and also players running up the centre in support of them. We went to the half time break 2-1 up with Ethan scoring both our goals. The 2^nd half saw us running up hill and Wenty managed to score the equalizer not long after the kick off. Both teams then had numerous scoring opportunities but were unable to find the back of the net. There were some great breaks made by Nikolai, George and Rayaan. The breakthrough came when Ethan scored another 2 goals late in the half to give us a 4-2 win. Everyone played really well today and the Encouragement Awards went to Ethan, Nikolai and George.

U/9/6 v St Josephs Loss 4-0
We knew going into this game that it was going to be tough but with players out sick or playing other sports it makes it that much harder. The 1^st half today we played with only 8 players and were only down 2-0 at half time. With the arrival of another player it gave us 9 for the 2^nd half. With the boys getting tired St Joesphs scored another 2 goals to win the game. To William-Harley, without your keeping skills today the score line could have looked like 10 nil - a big thank you from the coach. To the rest of the boy’s playing today you made me very proud to be your coach, you didn’t give up but kept trying. Hold your heads high, we will meet them again in the semi’s with a full side. Coach Vicki

O/35/4 v Wenty Waratah Loss 2-0
Good hard game with plenty of chances at either end but Wenty got the points. Pops did a great job 2^nd half containing the roadrunner (earning himself the blanket), even climbing on his back at one point to slow him down a bit. We had our own chances and it could have gone either way until they got their 2^nd goal. Termy missed a sitter, open goal, keeper out and only the net to beat and he scuffed it. Claims he had nothing left after spending most of the game watching the roadrunner run past him, and the keeper charging like a rhino threw him off. (Courtesy of SlowFox, MrAliB and Terminator)
