U12 div 3 v Castle Hill United Draw 3-3

U13 div 4 v Merrylands SFC Loss 3-1
The team played very well in the first half displaying good skills with controlled passing and organised build up and were rewarded with a 1-0 score line at half time. Merrylands fired up and scored 3 unanswered goals in the second half despite our boys making many more opportunities, 2 rattling the crossbar and one other off the post and a number well handled by their keeper. While our attack was strong our defensive structure let us down. Nathan finished off our well constructed attack to score and Novneal was todays stand out player. Strong positional play and controlled defense leaving a number of the opposition booting clear air. Overall the team showed the skill to augur a strong season. (Paul - Manager)

U14 div 4 v Pendle Hill Won 9-1
A goal in the first minute to new player Elcin got our season off to the best possible start. Strong tackling, passing, talking, and calling in the first half saw more goals including Chris M's first ever goal, a second for Elcin, and 2 screamers from Mark struck from well outside the box. 6-0 up at the break. Second half our structure fell apart a little as the boys got a bit too greedy to score, and lost their passing game and stopped talking. End result was still a big win. Great start boys. (John - Manager)

U18 div 1 v Toongabbie Loss 3-2

O45 div 1 v Winston Hills Loss 5-1

O35 div 6 v Dundas Loss 1-0
Ordinary start to the season. Struggling to find team cohesion with several new players. Not enough decent shots on target. Dundies with many efforts on goal and one lucky one sneaks inside the post. But for us it was a case of if you don't shoot you can't score. Chop almost bagged us a late equalizer with a neat deflection just tipped wide by Dundies keeper. A couple of yellows and Chops 40-20s were noted. Not a great game for our spectators including special guest Capt G.

Senior 3 v Merrylands SFC Draw 1-1

Senior 4 v Granville Waratah Won 8-0

U14 Girls div 1 - bye

U16 Girls div 2 v Castle Hill United Won 3-0
What a terrific start to our season. Marking was good for the most part but deteriorated in the 2nd half, particularly in the midfield, we need to work harder on this for the whole game. Passing started off poorly with too much 'blind' kicking, but improved as the 1st half progressed and the girls grew in confidence. This controlled passing eventually wore down the CHU defence and a nice through ball from Shayley allowed Sheri to tuck away a well placed shot to open our account. Sheri also got our 2nd goal when she anticipated from a CHU goalkick, stole the ball from their defender and neatly sidestepped to again tuck the ball low into the corner. Up 2-0 at the half. Our 3rd goal was just superb - after stopping a CHU corner our defence flicked the ball up to Kacey in midfield, who passed to Renae to her left, who played a perfect through ball for Sheri who again put it low and wide to bag her hat-trick - 4 passes in all from inside our own 18 yard line to scoring! Some defensive lapses saw CHU threaten our goal several times late in the game - we went soft on tackling and did not clear the ball away from goal strongly enough - something else for us to work on. A penalty late in the game saw Megan given the opportunity to score her first ever goal but alas she put it over the bar. Great game from Chantelle in defence, DJ who ran hard all game, and Cassie was brilliant at the back. Everyone passed well but Kacey and Renae did particularly well. Emily ran well up front and could have also scored a few but needs to finish stronger and place her shots better - keep trying and the goals will come. Sheri earned Player of the Match with her hat-trick but it was a great team effort that won us this game.

All Age Ladies div 4 v North Rocks Loss 7-2
Off to a good start with HR scoring first. NR capitalised on our errors and scored off almost every mistake we made. Our 2nd goal was neatly done with a nice through ball on the right which Lisa ran onto and flicked a perfect pass across to Niccy P running towards goal and tucked the shot away. But by this stage the game was gone. NR are not a better team by that margin but they did take advantage of our errors. Need to tighten up in midfield and defence and not concede so many goals to be competitive in this division.

All Age Ladies div 1 v Baulkham Hills Loss 7-0
A good effort against better opposition than we are used to. Thanks to Cassie from U16G's for filling in. Keep working hard. We will get better.
