game tomorrow. (Dave Hunter - coach)

Sun 28th June:
U14G div 1 v Castle Hill United Draw 0-0
U16G div 2 v Kellyville Loss 6-0

Not much to be said about this game other than we did everything wrong.
Players not marking up, out of position, not attacking & winning the
loose ball, & not adjusting to KV's long throw-ins.  That being said,
Rochelle played well in the backs & then a good game in goals 2nd half
to win player of the match.  Larissa also tried hard & made some nice
clearance kicks & headers.  Big effort needed at training & more
focus during the games.

AAL div 4 v Pendle Hill Black Won 5-1
Pendle Hill Blk upped the pressure and made us work hard for every goal in this rematch. They had a couple of players at front who were quite dangerous when they got to the ball. With a short field it put a lot of pressure on our backs and midfield who took up the challenge and ran their butts off. Vanessa was rewarded a few times with goals after some great chasing and footwork. Kristens corners were impressive. At one point she took a corner, which Vanessa trapped and passed back to Kristin who then curled a marvellous shot high towards the goals. The pendo goalie got her hands to it but fumbled it and it just dropped behind the line and bounced back out again. Just to make sure Lisa kicked it back in but it was clearly Kristens goal. When we were 2 nil up they managed to make the most of a good through ball and got around our defenders to score a goal. Mel had a few good chances but couldn't convert. Don't worry Mel , you will eventually be rewarded with a goal for all you hardwork on the field. We could see the danger from their forwards and we enlisted Nicole P to help out Tammy, Nicole K and Lauren in the backline as well. Between the four of them and our midfield, Pendo was not allowed to score another goal. Before the first half finished a sweet toepunt from distance from Amy gave us the third goal (Her first I believe after all her stints in goals.)
We still were not out of danger as Pendo kept the pressure up in the second half and the backs had their work cut out for them. A high goal by Pendo perfectly aimed to go just under the bar would have changed the face of the game but Danni made sure of it with a huge leap and caught the ball cleanly. Danni has been a key factor in many of our close matches where her saves have made the diference. After that, some great teamwork gave us another two goals. Congrtulations to Vanessa for her hat trick. Keep up the good work girls. Thanks to Todd for standing in for Dennis and organising the gameplan, positioning and subbing so well.

Round 9 match results

Sat 13th June:
U6 Green v Wenty Waratah U6 H Won 14-0

The Greens played an excellent game today: tackling hard and without
hesitation which is fantastic to see. Lemour and Sam stayed to help
their teammates out and were both rewarded with a hat-trick each  in the
first half, whilst Andre scored 5 goals throughout his time on the
field. Ben has improved a lot, scoring 3 goals himself, but even more
impressively for this week, passing the ball to his teammates 8 times!
Costa worked hard, chasing the ball down and going in for the tackle
numerous times! His left foot is proving invaluable in setting up and
helping the 6's score. Overall, the Greens worked hard as a team and
deserved each and every goal we scored this morning. Good work guys!
6's Man of the Match goes to Ben, who really worked hard at and
concentrated on his passing today. It was very pleasing to see and Tammy
and I are both proud of him. 

U6 Black v Wenty Waratah U6 G Won 7-1

A great game from all the Blacks today and scores which denonstrate how
far we've come as a team! Costa had some amazing passes in this game
which was pleasing to see because as we learnt today, sometimes passing
is more important than goal scoring! His great passing led to two very
impressive goals by Jamie and Fayez. Sam played magnificently, trying
hard to use both feet in his tackles and passes and was rewarded with
three goals of his own. Lemour had some great foresight today which saw
him running down the field and helping out his teammates on numerous
occasions. Rosilenn had two great big kicks which helped the blacks get
down the field quickly. Overall, a great game from the blacks today-
their coach was very proud of them! 

U7 v Guildford County U7 B
U8 Purple v Granville Waratah Won 4-0
U9 div 3 v Castle Hill United Loss 1-0
U12 div 3 v Wenty Waratah Won 6-1
U13 div 4 v Wenty Waratah Loss 3-2
Last time we played Wenty the score was 2-7 down. This time we were unlucky not to end with a draw or even a win. We had the best of the attack in the first half and scored twice in the first 15 minutes in our best opening passage of the season. For the first goal everyone was so solid in their positional play as the ball came from a defensive move, that scoring seemed inevitable. The passing from our backs through midfielders to our line of forwards was fast and accurate and so well executed that in the end we had several scoring options but it ended with Carlos firing one into the net low and past the keeper’s right hand. Ryan finished another of our strong team moves to put us 2-0 up. Wenty scored a somewhat fluky goal 8 minutes from half time.

Attack has always been the strength of our team. Sometimes we press forward to with such intensity that we can find ourselves vulnerable at the back. Without the amazing efforts of our star sweeper Scott we would have more scored against us. Running perhaps twice the distance of any other player on the field during the game Scott was our man of the match.

As in our last game the commitment by all the players is very pleasing. Novvie had another good game as did Fadi. There seems to be a combination forming between Tyler and Thomas with some very slick combination moves around the Wenty defenders. Andrew O is looking the play maker with his control and accurate passing and in the last 20 minutes Andrew B’s defensive work lifted appreciably and helped keep Wenty from getting any structure to their attack. Another busy day at the office for Alex who showed it all with good anticipation and a couple of lunging saves. Matty had a solid game as did Nathan who created a couple of scoring chances by reading the play well and finding good position.

For Wenty their second half keeper had an exceptional game pulling off some very strong saves to keep us scoreless and their centre forward showed some very classy skills in to cut through and boot 2 goals.

U14 div 4 v Castle Hill RSL Won 3-2

A win is a win but this was not one of the boys best games.  Scrappy
play, loose marking & then pushing up and not getting back to defend.
Consequently our 3-0 lead was soon whittled away when CHRSL had us
outnumbered in front of our goal on several occasions and managed to
convert 2 of them.  1st half we played reasonably okay and Ryan opened
our scoring with a nicely struck ball.  Passing was good but trapping &
calling virtually non-existent.  1-0 at the break.  2 quick 2nd half
goals to Cameron, firstly with a penalty then a neat left foot finish at
the back post after a corner.  Then the boys took their foot off the
pedal and obviously thought the game was won, but it ain't over till the
final whistle as they say and CHRSL hurt us on the counter attack.
Another good game from Bradley, and George probably with his best game
so far this season.  Chris F played well in goals with well-timed runs
off his line to gather or kick clear.

U18 div 1 v Winston Hills Black Loss 5-0
O45 div 1 v Pendle Hill Loss 5-0
O35 div 6 v Pendle Hill Won 2-0
With only the bare 11 (including help from 0/45 player Pierre ) to kick off, the guys initially struggled to capitalise on any chances. Brad did a lot of good work in defending and his goal kicks were great. About 30 mins in, the voodoo was finally broken after a cross from Ray was headed in by Nashie (now in the running for the Melon award). Bill turned up at half time and his tackling in the midfield helped create more chances for the team. Andrew, Brad, Bill and Ace all had good chances with shots either hitting the post or just going wide. Ace was denied what seemed to be a clear goal and was justifiably a bit upset. A great pass from Clive was well placed by Brad to give them the second goal. A great save by Musky late in the second half helped keep the other team scoreless. (Report from Lisa)

Senior 3 v Wenty Waratah Won 3-0
Senior 4 v PCYC Parramatta Draw 1-1

Sun 14th June:
U14G v Pendle Hill Loss 1-0
U16G div 2 v Lidcombe Waratah Loss 4-3
A terrific start when Sarah P slotted home for us 2 minutes into the game. Then we allowed LW too much time on the ball to get off good passes and they released through balls for their forwards and we went to the break 2-1 down. The worst possible start to the 2nd half conceding an early goal. We had it all to do now and to their credit the girls put in the effort and were rewarded with 2 goals within minutes of each other, both the results of good lead up work from the backs and midfielders, putting the ball through for Sherri who unselfishly laid the ball off for her support both times. Firstly Sarah P was in support and tucked away a neat shot and then Emily with good attacking support from left mid finished with a delightful strike to level the game at 3-3. We endured a lot of late play in front of our goal eventually conceding a late goal. All game we had struggled to clear the ball out of the defensive third of our field and that is what hurt us in the end. Girls - we must have quick clearances away from our goal. Terrific defensive tackling often as the last player in front of goal and a solid header off the goal line earned Larissa the player of the match.

AAL div 4 v Lidcombe Waratah Won 2-0
A frustrating first half with our girls having plenty of possession and shots on goal, but the LW keeper was in excellent form. The tension at the half-time break was at a knife edge as our girls clearly expected and deserved to be up by a goal or 2. Calming words from coach took them back out for the 2nd half with the will to continue their good work knowing it would eventually pay off. Early 2nd half a rare LW raid towards our goal was neatly collected by Danni jumping to grab hold of a shot that would have just snuck under the bar. The best chance of the game came when Lisa brought down a goal kick with the iron girdle and dropped the ball to her feet, then chipped it through for Niccy whose shot at goal alas flew just over the bar. Soon after the drought was finally broken when we were awarded a penalty and Nessa neatly tucked it away. Quickly this was followed by a second goal when Kris took a clever short corner kick to Claire, who lined the ball up for her magical left foot, and curled a pearler of a shot into the back top corner - no goal keeper could have stopped it. Great game from Niccy whose speed up front caused havoc, Mel's passing was on song, Claires clearances were spectacular, and Sherrie ran well up front. Crystals traps and passes were a highlight, Di was solid in defence, and Amy exuberant in the midfield, but both Amy and Nessa need to lift their head and offload the ball earlier. A very pleasant game to watch even in the damp conditions.
