Round 4 results - Girls and Ladies

U12G v Pendle Hill White Won 2-0
Well played girls. Our first win for the season. It is so pleasing to see you keeping your positions that you are told to play, especially the back four of Sarah, Simone, Beth & Nez who were so strong in defence. We started off strong with an early goal through a good pass from Simone to find Chloe who beat a player & finished it off with a good shot and scored. Our 2nd goal came from a planned corner we have been practising. It was a hard low cross which Courtney hit beautifully first time into the top corner. We then dominated for the rest of the game unlucky not to score more girls.
U14G/2 v North Rocks Won 6-0
Match report: Excellent teamwork today, a lot of unselfish play. Led 1-0 at half time, than played well in the 2nd half to put 5 goals away. Goals scored by Rochelle (3), Renea, Daniela and Sheridan. Nice passing and calling throughout the game, still bunching a little, but we will work on that at training. Good defence at the back by Larissa, Rebekah, Cassie, Linda, Megan and Shayley. Good to see Renea and Natasha work out their centre midfield play. Nice game also from Emily with her running and passing. Not forgetting our 2nd half impact player swapping with Megan to come out of goals, well done Natalia. Also our little roving player Skye who seems to be everywhere on the field. Finally the Falcon Award goes to Natasha for her forgetting to duck when the ball was kicked at her. Peter (coach) and Tracey (Manager). PS: Don't get too complacent as the season is only young.
U16G/1 v Greystanes Draw 2-2
Match report: It’s amazing what a difference a bye and a lack of training (due to bad weather makes)! The girls commenced the game very flat, struggled to hold their positions and let the opposition dictate the mid field. Mary was every reliable in defence and Kristen prevented the opposition form scoring early in the game. Late in the first half the girls started to put their game together and were unlucky not to have scored through strong shots from Sarah and Sandy, only to be denied by the opposition keeper. Half time Nil all. The second half, the girls came out with more intensity. Mid half, a goal mouth scrambles lead to a goal by Sarah to put the girls one nil up. Almost immediately after the kick, a defensive lapse let the opposition in to equalize. With 3 minutes left of play, Sarah got her second after a quick throw in down the right side, some scrambling in the penalty area and finally a well executed shot. Again, immediately after the kick off, and with only seconds on the clock and some half hearted defence, Greystanes managed the equalizer basically on the full time whistle. Final Score 2 all. Player of the match went to Sandy who never gave up although not feeling 100%. (Girls – if you want to have a chance at this competition who have to play as a team for the whole game and not just in patches as well as implementing the skills you are taught at training).

AAL/4 Blk v Guildford County Loss 3-1

AAL/4 Wht v St Josephs Draw 1-1
As each week passes you can see the improvement in the white team. The girls are playing with their heads up more, looking for passes rather than just kicking it. Good playing by all.

Match report: This week we scored our very first goal of the season..... YAY!!! We managed to get the ball off Parramatta city using really good defence and Billy dribbled it down the field and kicked it straight passed their goalie it was awsome!! We were one man down on the field so everyone played a full game ... in the rain. Our defence in the first half this week was amazing and we had some great saves from our goalies Luke and Noah. Well Done guys great game!! Congratulations to our "Player of the Match" this week Billy for great defence and a great goal !!Coaches: Kristen and Robyn Lilley and Nicole Potts

U/7 VIDUKA v ALOISI Holroyd Rangers Washed out

U/7 NEILL v North Rocks Won 9-1
Match report: Today’s game was a friendly against an Under 8 side from North Rocks. Liam and Kyle from our U/8 side joined our team for the day so we could play 9 players on the field. The team played very good with everyone giving a 100 percent effort. The first half was a fairly close encounter with Ethan opening up our account mid way through the half and Lucas scored from a long range shot that got past everyone just before half time. At the break we where 2-0 up. In the second half the team just got better and better. Some great team work was displayed with the ball being passed between lots of players to set up some great goals. The final score was 9-1 with Ethan 4, Lucas 1, George 1, Liam 2 and Kyle 1. It is a pleasure to watch the boys and girls coming together as a team. The enthusiasm and effort shown by Jordonn, Billie, Joel and Nickolai also allowed us to have such a great win. The player of the match went to Ethan and the Encouragement award going to Lucas.

SEN 3 v Guildford County Won 7-0

SEN 7 v North Rocks Black Won 9-0

Match report: On what began as a very cold 3pm match on Saturday @ home became a fired up senior 7s effort, winning 9-0. At just 30 seconds into the first half of the match, Julz put a goal into the back of the net. A few good shots on goal by the boys and Julz put another goal in after another 15 minutes. At about 30 minutes Julz completed the hat-trick. Steve Greska scored at 36 minutes. We had a marvellous goal by Esky taken from a metre away from the corner to cap off the first half. Straight away wen we got back on the field Greska scored not even 40 seconds into play. We then had 2 goals disallowed by the referee and the game went quiet until the 80th minute when we had virtually back to back goals by Greska and Esky respectively. The 9th goal came at the 44th minute by Elvis and full time whistle was blown. A good result for the boys and we will hope to continue to improve our results.

O/35/4 v Lidcombe Waratah Draw 1-1
Match report: Tough game played in good spirit. The team was looking forward to the return of Superstriker only to get to the 15 min mark and he’s gone. We scored early and looked reasonably good. A great goal scored from Superstriker 2 who must have been inspired when Superstriker 1 left the field. A pass from Capt G with just a bit of work to do on the end of it. I’m sure the little stick man was put on the shin pad as assist #1 for season 07. The hotly contested golden boot is up for grabs. But Lidcombe lifted a gear and stayed in that gear for the rest of the game. They are a better side than last year, never stopped attacking, scored in the 2^nd half and looked like scoring a few more but again the Wonder-keeper kept us in it and won himself the coveted blanket. Our fullbacks were under constant attack but as usual saved the day many times. Hoppy was going to explode he was that red in the face (does this personal trainer actually exist?). Capt G played with his hyperextendableextension arm fully wrapped, bruised from elbow to wrist. Stevo had a screamer at both ends of the park, unlucky not to score with a header late in the game. Fatso the wombat claimed he supplied the perfect ball for the goal but was he even on the park at that stage? Fatso must now be the leader for "falcon of the year". Chopper’s run late 1^st half only to be clipped late leaving some work for the groundsmen to fill the large divot - at least had some support from Mrs Chopper defending his honour on the sideline (another code of conduct briefing needed for the chopper family). (Match report courtesy of Slow Fox and Terminator 69.)

O35/5 v Baulkham Hills Won 9-1
Match Report: A fairly lack lustre performance to start with but like a good wine we improved with age. We opened the scoring but Baulkham Hills managed to peg one back. We seemed to struggle for some time even with the advantage of fitness and youth(?). Dominic proved to be strong as sweeper and was equal man of the match with Dennis. Chris made some good strong runs from the back and scored a good individual goal that suprised everyone. Dennis top scored with 5 goals with Phil and Jack also scoring one each. Mick made a big difference in the mid field unitl he went off with an injury. The backs were certainly solid and kept the attacks out of the 18 yard box. Dennis went into the goals and gave Don a run in the forwards. The forwards worked well together and some good combinations eventuated. Dennis made a run as goalie to the Baulkham Hills goal for a corner. Gerry kept the back line strong and directed our efforts towards the 9-1 full time score.

Round 3 results - Girls and ladies

U12G v Kellyville Loss 2-1

A game that slipped away from us. We started the game well creating lots of chances but unfortunately didn't finish any of them. Victoria started as striker for the 1st time using her speed to great effect. Kellyville scored first just before 1/2 time and again just after 1/2 time. Victoria's determination finally paid off with a good through ball from Chloe which Victoria ran well with and slotted it passed the keeper. With a bit more luck and more pressure applied to the opposition the wins will come. Karly was fantastic today in goals saving plenty of shots & breakaways & also to my surprise coming out and collecting corner crosses.

U/7 NEILL v KEWELL Parramatta City Loss 5-4
Match report: Our first game of the year after our bye last week and the boys and girls played really well. If we only had a few more seconds of game time we would have had a hard fought draw. As it turned out the final score was 4 goals for us and 5 for them. Rayaan received the player of the match for his good saves in goal in the first half and then scoring in the second half. Billie received the encouragement award. Well done also to Ethan and George for their goals.

Match report: The team played a very good game of soccer with Ahmed scoring 2 early goals followed by 1 from kyle Murphy to lead 3 nil in the 10th Minute. The opposition got 1 back after a little fumble from our goal keeper. A further goal from leonardo Soto seen the score at 4-1 at half time.
In the second half the team passed the ball around well resulting in another 4 goals to our side. The goal scorers in the second half where Ahmed 2 Leo 1 Nathan Bampton 1. The final score 8-2 to holroyd. Well done a great team effort by all the boys.
Keep up the good work boys. Coach: Shane Murphy

U/9/6 v North Rocks Won 13 - 0
Match report: Today the team played very well. Our goalies didn’t see the ball all game nor did the backs but I was pleased to see them still hold their positions in case it did come their way. It was also nice to see the passing of the ball between the forwards with Sam, Modassir and Mitchell D scoring multiple goals - well done guys - keep up the good work. Coach Vicki Paterson

O35/5 v Norwest Demons Won 5-1
Match report: The 35/5s started out a bit slow with a full strength Norwest Demons drawing first blood. The score remained unchanged until a Norwest player stopped a cross with his hands which resulted in a penalty. Dennis opened the Holroyd account with a penalty which seemed to give us a bit more confidence. A short time later another goal went in and we seemed to settle into some better play. In the second half the goals kept coming which finished with a 5-1 full time score. Dennis scored three goals and Mick Borg scored two. Norwest had a strong attack which left us scrambling in defence at times. They have some fast forwards but some strong play by Lippo, Peter and Chris kept Norwest scoreless in the second half. There was some good passing and runs and we seem to be playing like we train.

U/12G Bye

U/14G v Rouse Hill Win 6-0
Match report: Great 1st win.

Started to pass the ball around and run Rouse Hill around the park. Good use of the whole park and good game by Rochelle (5 goals), Renea and Natasha in the midfield. Also Linda and Shayley at the back. Keep up the teamwork and we will have some more victories. Coach: Peter Pike, Manager: Tracey Hopper

U/16G v Lidcombe Win 6-2
Match report: On an extremely hot and sunny Autumn morning the 2007, they line up to do battle with the nemesis from last year’s grand final. The girls came out pumped up to revenge their last encounter. It was wasn’t long until Sarah made a fantastic run down the right side, drew the keeper off her line, and selflessly passed to our youngest member, Lauren S, for a well executed goal.
The girls are really coming together and playing as a team. This was evident from a number of passing sequences the Matilda’s would have been proud of. Several of these passages of plays from within our half, lead to Sandy, Pia, Miray and Lauren S combining together to send well weighted balls through to Sarah to hopelessly out sprint the opposition defence and leave their goalkeeper clutching at air as the ball went into the back of the net. An unlucky penalty and a goal mouth scramble let the opposition in for 2 goal goals before half time. Half time 4 – 2.
The second half was a much tougher affair. The opposition were playing for their pride and made a number of raids on the Holroyd goal. Strong defending from Kim, Jade, Lauren J and Monique as well as inspirational keeping from Kristen flaunted a number of dangerous attacking raids. Sarah finished off 2 more goals. Final score 6 -2. Overall, one of the best games the girls have put together and with continued consistency, they should do well in the competition. The “Woman” of the Match” award was hotly contested with Kristen, Miray, Sandy, Pia, Kim, Lauren S, Samantha and Vivien all polling votes. However with her 2^nd 5 goal bag for the season Sarah was a deserving winner. Coach: Don Jordan.

AAL/4 Wht v Granville Kewpies Win 1-0
Match report:The girls had a lot of confidence going into the match after last weeks great win. But were not looking forward to running around in the heat. The ladies had a good first half with a goal by Bec off her left foot. The second half was not so good with lack of fitness as well as the heat leading to scrappy playing by all.

Match report: The team played very well today considering we played the first half 2 players short then the second half 1 player short .It was good to see the new players getting in and making some good tackles keep up the good work. The result today was a 1 all draw if the referee had of seen the 10 meter offside pass which resulted in castle hill scoring we would have received the win these kids deserved today.We will get them next round guys . Coach: Vicki Paterson

U/10/3 v Wenty Waratah Won 3-1
Match report: Playing in the middle of the school holidays with kids away is enough to turn a coach's hair grey overnight. With just 11 players for our first round match we were expecting a tough encounter. And it started off that way, with Wenty scoring a great goal. But after that our young Rangers came into their own, playing spectacularly well. There was plenty of passing of the ball, looking for team-mates to pass to, supporting each other, and general enthusiasm (much more than our last trial game the week before). James was fantastic in goal in the first half, saving some real beauties, while Josh, Josh and Laith in defence all had great games. In the mid-field Jake, Alan, Daniel and Alistair kept chasing the ball, and Alistair was rewarded for getting into the game when he deflected one into the goal just before half-time. Half-way through the second half Chris scored a great goal because he kept following the ball right into the goal mouth. Some strong defence by Josh Ryan again, and with 10 minutes to go the parents (and coach) on the side-line were just hanging out for the full-time whistle to blow. Excellent play from Cameron and Shania who both made some great breaks on their respective wings, and we had our first win of the season in our sights. A minute before half-time Alan took a free kick from just outside the box which deflected off a Wenty player for our third goal of the game and the sealing of the match. And what was wonderful to see at the conclusion of the match were out kids shaking hands with Wenty! Let's keep it up team!!! Coach: Brad

Congratulations to Richard Dolton on his first goal ,I give him 2 direct penalties last year for his chance which he missed . Worth the wait, from a corner he headed the ball into the back of the net . Goal scorers today were Richard 1 , Joseph 1 , Andrew 1 , Aaron 1 , Special mention for our Keeper Jack Knight for a sensational game in goals you will play a big part Jack for our march to the end of the season with that sort of effort .

Results from girls and ladies matches

U12G 4-2 Loss v Pendle Hill Blk

Welcome to the players & parents for another year with 4 new players Danielle, Nez, Vania & Victoria coming into our side. We started our first game without Karly our regular keeper & our backup keeper Simone was out with injured fingers so Danielle went in goals & for a girl who has never kept before did a great job & I would really like to thank her for that. This was a very good game with Pendle Hill being just that bit better on the day. PH scored first & then we equalised after a great run by Simone passing the ball to Chloe who beat a girl & then finished it off with a great shot. Unfortunately we let PH score just before the 1/2 time whistle. In the 2nd half PH scored another 2 goals through some good work by their very good striker. The girls never let their head drop and continued to play well with Victoria making a great run down the right side, cutting in, then beating the keeper only to be bought down & earning a penalty which Courtney finished off confidently. The game finished 4-2 loss with all the girls playing well and the new girls fitting in really well.

Match report: Good effort by the girls for their first game. Need to concentrate more on the field and stop bunching up. More concentration also needed at training.

U16G 8-0 Win v Pendle Hill Wht
Match report: Firstly a warm welcome to the newest members of the team, Kristen, Pia, Monique, Mirna, Miray, Suz-Anna and Vivien. On a warm and sunny Autumn morning the 2007 finally kicked off. The girls started the game all fired up, and keen to start playing. This was event from the very first kick off where the girls put together 8 unbroken passes and nearly scored. The Holroyd girls clearly had the run of play for the first 10 minutes, and were unlucky not to score on a number of occasions. After a goal mouth scramble one of newest and youngest girls, Miray, scored her first ever goal. Soon after the restart, Miray scored her 2nd ever goal in much a similar manner as her first.

The third goal will go down as one of the goals of the year (In any level of soccer). The Holroyd girls got a free kick 10 metres out and to the right of the penalty area, when Sarah calmly steps up, bends, the ball around the wall straight into the top left of the goal. The rest of the half the Holroyd girls dominated play with several “near” misses, Sarah scored another and the girls went to the break 4 - nil up.

The second half was much the same as the first, lots of missed opportunities where the girls clearly dominated the game with opposition that may struggle in the top division. Sarah scored three second half goals before earning a well earned stint in goals. Donya scored her first ever goal from a volley out side the box and then calmly lobbing the ball into the top right corner of the net (must be all the hard practice).

This week's “Woman” of the Match award was awarded to Sarah for an impressive 5 goal performance. Special mention to Monique for her very reliable performance in the backs. Sandy and Kim for great general all-round play and developing leadership abilities and to Kristen for having a faultless performance in the goals. Miray for her 2 goals and tireless attitude and the rest of the team who all tried their hardest throughout the game.

AAL Wht 6-0 Win v North Rocks
Match report: The first match of the season was not looking good for the whites with 3 girls away, 1 moving and 2 injured in previous trial matches. But the injuries had healed for the match. The passing skills of the girls seemed to impress the sidelines which kept the teams spirits high. Good goals from Sherrie, Kristen, Sarah and newbie Alexis which led to the end score of 6-0. Special thanks to Sarah and Jade from the 16 girls who helped out in defence and attack. Good luck for the season to all female teams.
