U12 div 3 v Castle Hill RSL Won 4-1
U13 div 4 v Pendle Hill Loss 2-1
A disappointing result this week with a 1-2 loss in a fast and entertaining game. First half we had the best of possession and attack with Ryan Safour scoring first after consistent pressure. We made several other opportunities that we failed to finish through either good recovery defence by Pendle Hill or hesitation on our part. Pendle Hill equalised with a well put together attack down the left side, a well placed cross and a low shot beneath the keepers outstretched hand. Second half continued apace testing the fitness of both teams. After a number of end to end plays which kept both keepers busy Pendle Hill score via an unmarked forward. Scott Manning, busy as always, was the player of the match with a quality sweepers effort. All players put in meritable efforts. Well done lads. (Paul - Manager)

U14 div 4 at North Rocks Won 9-1
Cameron with our opening goal when he volleyed in his shot off a flicked on corner. Goals also to Chris M, James, Ryan, Mark and Elcin. An easy game really 11 against 10 but they opened us up at the back too often. Even when physically tired stay mentally focussed and keep marking your player. Daniel did well at centre back, and the twins ran hard all game. Keep up the good passing as that is what will win us the big games.

U18 div 1 v St Josephs Loss 5-3
O45 div 1 v Kellyville Loss 2-1
O35 div 6 v Parramatta City Draw 1-1
Nice opening goal from the Marksman before he went off with his hammy. The Blunderbuss with a chance early 2nd half off his favoured left foot but he put it over. Chop on the sidelines for another week preferring to make sure the drinks stayed cold. 2nd half we were not as sharp in the mids and consequently came under a lot of fire, eventually conceding late in the game. Another week without a win.

Senior 3 v St Josephs Loss 2-0
Senior 4 v Wenty Waratah Won 3-0
U14G div 1 v Winston Hills Loss 3-0
U16G div 2 v Winston Hills Won 4-1
A really terrific game – great passing and good defensive marking. One problem was bunching – spreading out more opens up bigger spaces for us to utilise. Nicely worked play saw Sheri with a soft shot towards goal and the ball a couple of metres off the line and wide of their keeper which Sarah P pounced on, belting it into the back of the net to score her first goal for us. The 2nd goal was a gem and a great team goal – a strong tackle from Chantelle at the back won the ball, playing it forward to Sarah R at left mid, who played it through for Emily. Em ran it to the goal line to the left of the goal against a strong defender, and placed a super pass across goal for Sheri to score unmarked in front of goal. A late chance from Sarah P cannoned off the post. 2-0 up at the half. WH got 1 back but we came back strong with 2 more nice goals. Terrific through ball from Kacey to Emily with a strong finish, and some nice passing in front of their goal which Sheri finished. Great play from Rochelle at centre back, great passing and through balls from Kacey, good tackling and passing from Chantelle, and good tackling and passing from Sarah R. Sarah P playing as striker 1st half and as holding defense 2nd half was just superb all game earning her the Player of the Match award.

AAL div 4 v Wenty Waratah Won 3-0
Playing was very bunched, but part of that may have been playing on the North Rocks mini sized field as well as the defensive focus by the other team. As a result, we had so many chances but the ball kept hitting the many feet in the way. The 3 goals we did score were good ones. Vanessa found the sweet spot on her head from a superb corner from Claire to slot the first goal in. Tammy took a shot from distance and cracked it in. The third goal saw Vanessa easily take the ball in and slot the goal. Mel was very unlucky not to score as she constantly hunted down the ball and just didn't give up. As did Nicole who was a powerhouse of energy. Robyn was determined in the midfield and usually won the ball from every tackle she was in. Lisa's nose took a beating and then The Phantom took her out later on but she went back on hoping to keep on her feet for a change. Kris was worried about her corners but then went on to kick a beautiful corner but we just couldn't put it in for her. On the few breakthroughs that Wenty had, Nicole or Di or Lauren easily chased them down. Lauren often seemed to do the impossible with an attacker and the ball very close to the sideline she would still manage to get the ball past the Wenty player and bring it back up for us. Danni only had to get to the ball a few times but judged her runs really well and contributed with well-paced and well delivered goal kicks. Crystal's throw-in's were great as usual and she kept the ball from going out providing the forwards with plenty of opportunities. We could have got more but were happy with a 3-0 win.
