Sat 30th May
U6 Green v Wenty Waratah U6/B Won 4-1
The guys played a great game and we could all tell that they have been
listening in training.  Both Samuel and Costa scored twice and
Jonah was excellent in his defence saving a lot of goals.
Rosilenn as usual not scared of the boys and using her big kicks.

U6 Black v Wenty Waratah U6/F Loss 9-0
A big thanks to Jonah and Samuel for playing a second game and helping
out even though tired they both played a great game. Ben with his great
tackling skills stealing the ball afew times and Lemour using his
passing skills to get around the field.

U12 div 3 v Dundas Washed out
U13 div 4 v Auburn District Won 4-2
The whole team should be very proud of themselves. The Coach, Manager
and supporters certainly are. They demonstrated the commitment and
teamwork that has taken them to 3 grand finals in previous seasons.
The game started untidily with both teams taking a little while to
settle into the match. We scored a minute from half time with clever,
long throw in from Matty to Andrew A's feet. With one touch Andrew, put
the ball through to Carlos, on the left wing, who struck the ball too
solidly for the keeper to get near.
The intensity of the match picked up significantly after the break with
a real contest for getting to ball first. Auburn scored twice this half
but we slotted a further 3 home to win 4-2.
There were many highlights today. Here are just a few:
Ryan's lofted cross from the right wing was perfectly weighted to the
far post where Carlos was positioned to head the ball strongly into the
net behind their bewildered keeper. Where is the replay when you need
it? Tyler scored a miraculous goal from 25 metres out that cleared the
leaping keeper's finger with a high looping shot just sneaking in under
the cross bar.
Thomas, who had worked like a Trojan all day, was rewarded after a
number of promising moves with our final goal only few minutes before
the end after working through a crowd of Auburn players.
Mentions must be made of the team-play shown by Andrew Orlando whose
skill assisted in more than one of the goals. Fadi had a great game
being the standout player of the first half with many runs and some
surgically accurate passing. Alex had his usual strong game with two
diving, fingertip saves and one drop kick that cleared both teams and
went all the way to the other keeper. You might want to tone it down a
bit Al. 
In the second half Aiden was quite scary in his commitment to attacking
the ball. His efforts resulted in us gaining more possession, giving us
the chances to score.
They really looked like they knew what they were doing. Well coached
Shaun.
This week's saying: ''You're born.'' ''You die. ''In between you play Soccer.''

U14 div 4 v Baulkham Hills Won 6-1
With 11 players and 3rd v 4th this promised to be a tough match.  Our
boys rose to the challenge and put in a work-rate that had to be seen to
be believed.  We outplayed BH in every department, winning almost every
loose ball, and our passing and calling was fantastic.  Numerous raids
on their goal without result was frustrating our boys but they continued
to work hard and eventually the goals came.  Mark with 2 long range
strikes to score our 1st and 3rd with Ryan slotting home a nice finish
for our 2nd.  BH had a late run to grab a goal just before the break.
2nd half Elcin with an early goal before he got another and then Chris M
scored.  Bradley played an outstanding game in the backs.  Overall a
great result from a first rate effort.

Sun 31st May
U14G div 1 v Beaumont Hills Loss 3-0
U16G div 2 v Castle Hill RSL Loss 3-2
First half we gave CHRSL too much space and marking was too loose.  As a
result we were down 2-0 at the break.  2nd half a much better effort
with us dominating the midfield.  Early 2nd half a nice run from Sheri
was turned away by their defence but the ball was kept under control and
brought back to our midfield and Renea with a lovely strike from outside
the 18-yard line got our 1st goal.  Soon after we levelled the scores
through strong work from the midfield.  The ball going out wide to the
right and crossed in, deflecting off a defender and going in for an
own-goal.  Scores remained locked for most of the half until a couple of
late runs from CHRSL wore down our defence and alas they scored the
winer with just a couple of minutes left.  A better 2nd half with good
strong play in the midfield but not enough shots on goal.  Strong work
and good positioning in goals saw Megan stop many attempts on our goal
earning her the player of the match award.  Nice play from Rochelle and
Cassie at the back, Renea had a great game in the midfield, and Adriana,
Natasha and Sarah R all contributed well in the mids.  Nice to welcome
Larissa back into the team after being injured in a pre-season trial
game.
