U6 SSF Gala Day

This years Gala Day was held at Rouse Hills Rams home ground at Rouse Hill. It was a great day complimented by the brilliant weather. It was a well-oiled operation with the Granville Association doing an excellent job at ensuring the schedule was followed.

After arriving and finding a parking spot as the car parks were full, we set up camp near field 14 as 4 out of 5 games were to be played at this field. We had an addition to the team from Merrylands as being a small team (5 players – 1 unable to attend), we welcomed the additional player fielding 4 with 1 on the bench.

The 1st game started at 9:40am followed by a game every 1hr and 20mins this giving the team 45mins between games to rest. The last game was played at 3:00pm. The team played well considering that this was their first year of playing soccer. Holroyd U6 won 3 games, drew 1, and lost 1.

The emphasis of the Gala day was on participation for pleasure and winning was part of the fun.  The team met players from Sydney FC and took photos. At the end of the day a presentation of a medallion and show bag was given to each participant.

As the coach of the U6, I must say that I thoroughly ended the experience of training and guiding the team during the season and to finish off with the Gala Day was thoroughly enjoyed as the players gave a tremendous effort and showed great team spirit. I shall look forward to doing the same next season.

A big thank you goes out to the parents who persisted with the training and early Saturday games.  Holroyd U6 Gala Day team; Josiah Palu, Lukeman Elbadar, Sahil Arya, Dominic Horley and Javish Nadan.
