All Age Ladies div 5 gracious in Grand Final loss

Sun 11th:

Holroyd Rangers All Age Ladies div 5 team were gracious in defeat today losing their Grand Final 2-0 v Kellyville. A couple of good early shots on goal did not fall for us then Kellyville scored on the counter attack. The score remained at 1-0 for much of the match. We had 2 more good chances - a curling free kick from Shannon almost snuck in the near post, and a flicked high shot from Kacey almost caught their keeper napping.  It was not to be our day though because with 5 minutes left to play we were pushing forward in an attempt to grab a late goal when Kellyville snuck through for a 2nd goal. All the girls should hold their heads high for a fantastic season and should be proud of getting to the Grand Final. Well done on a great season - we are proud of you all.

U9s Gala Day

The Gala Day, held at Granville Park on Sunday 28 August, was thoroughly enjoyed by both players and parents alike. The U9 White team performed extremely well, given the hot weather and playing some teams from higher divisions. The day started on a high, with a win over Winston Hills Orange 3-1. The highlight of the game was William Bremner, who is usually the goalie in the U9 Grey team, scoring his first-ever goal. Game 2 against Castle Hill United Orange was tough and but the teams were evenly matched, reflected in the nil-all draw.

Game 3 versus Kellyville Knots was also tough, with goalies on both sides having great games A goal late in the game by Holroyd reduced the deficit to 2-1. Game 4, against Granville Waratah Brown, was very evenly matched. A great goal by Anthony in the second minute got Holroyd off to a strong start. Basel Georges scored two goals in the second half, with the latter taking the score to 3-2. But a goal by Granville in the dying minutes of the game robbed us of our second victory of the day, with a 3-3 result.

The final two games of the day were a ‘pot luck’ draws played after lunch. We drew two teams from higher divisions, Merrylands and Lidcombe. The entire team put in great efforts in both games, which was not reflected in the 0-4 and 1-3 scores.

Basel Georges was the team’s leading goal scorer for the day, with Anthony Elbazi not far behind. Goalie was rotated throughout the day, with a notable performances by Waseem Salim and Sebastian Hashim. Congratulations to all team members for putting in strong performances over a very long day, which also included Kyle Schembri, Alfie Laguzza, Amber Robertson, Saro Sorani and William Bremner.
