U16G div 2 v Rouse Hill Won 3-1
All Age Ladies div 4 v Wenty Waratah Loss 5-1 There was lots of individual good play in the game today but we seemed to lose team formation and that gave the opposition their chances. So even though we all put our 100% in it just didn't click in the right way. It wasn't an enjoyable match either due to the behaviour of some of the opposition. Lets not dwell on it but learn from it, be positive, work on ways to improve and pick ourselves up from this one and move forward to the semis being proud of how far we have come..

Congratulations to our U15s and U16 Girls teams - they have both secured the Minor Premiership in their respective competitions. Well done to all the players and the coaches and managers.
Our U14s, Senior 3s and All Age Ladies 4s have also secured a spot in the semi-finals.
The U13s and Over 35s teams are both in with a chance to make the semi-finals, but need to get the right results in their round 18 games. We wish them both well.

All Age Ladies div 4 v Dundas Won 1-0 Well ladies this had to be the match of the season. Every single player stepped up and made the game their own. Defense was rock solid and control of the ball was excellent. Balls were being brought down to the defenders feet and then with control kicked back up the field to one of our players. Midfield and forwards were anticipating and moving to receive the ball. Also they were using the field and lots of 1-2 touches to get around the Dundas defence. Our goalies also kept us in the game with their quick reflexes. As one of the team noted we went in hard after every ball even when not sure if we could get to it. We hassled and kept at Dundas until either we got the ball or made them kick it out or kick it blindly. We did not stop even though there were no reserves. A special thanks to our coach who puts in lot of effort to improve our skills and to our family and friends who come along each week to support us and motivate us. Hope you guys enjoyed the match as much as we did. While there may have been a vote for one player of the match, I believe every single player deserved player of the match this week. Super effort. Bring on the semis girls.
Holroyd Rangers Soccer Club Committee has recently received the following email about our Under 8's team great sporting spirit.
From Greystanes Soccer Club Re U8/1’s Please pass on my congratulations to your U8's team.
My boys played against them last week and it was a very enjoyable experience.
The kids from the Holroyd team played the game with good sportsmanship
The spectators were very encouraging to all the players and some even applauded good performances by Greystanes.
The referee (I assume one of their coaches) was very fair and honest in his interpretation of the game and gave both teams equal opportunities
The coach displayed great sportsmanship and when we only had a total of 6 players prior to kick off, he offered to only play 6 kids on his team too, so that we were equal, even though he had 4 reserves.
The Holroyd Rangers Soccer Club committee thanks the Under 8's players, parents, spectators and coach and manager for being great ambassadors for our club. Keep up the great work
Sadly Edwin Cordova passed away this weekend. Edwin was a player in our All Age Mens div 3 team that won the Grand Final in 2009. Edwin had been playing with the team in division 2 this year. He has been a player with our club for several years. Edwin will be sorely missed by all who knew him, and all his team mates at Holroyd Rangers. Edwin with his team mates (bottom row, third from the left).
Saturday 31st July one of our All Age Ladies 2 joined in with a combined Granville team to play a match against a team of 16- 20 year old American girls. At very short notice Jackie from our AAL2 took on the challenge to take part in the team.
The combined Granville team played really well together considering that they hadn't had any chance to train together before hand. A great experience for all the girls.

U16G div 2 v North Rocks Draw 1-1 Very very disappointed in the team performance today, one of those games where a lot of the girls were not there at the game today. Larissa was the coaches player of the match for a very solid display at fullback. To our keeper of the day (my little girl) what do you say about that goal, don't need to say any more except the gloves are now hung up and retired. We have a lot of work to do girls, the holiday is over. Coach
All Age Ladies div 4 v Winston Hills Black Won 1-0 Great game with our 10 players giving their all. Goal mid 1st half and a solid passing game totally controlling the play and not letting WHB into the game at all.

O35 div 6 v St Michaels Won 4-2
Keen to avenge our first round 1-0 loss to St Micks we came out fired up and soon went ahead with a couple of quick goals. Another before the break and we were comfortable, but perhaps sat back too much 2nd half and St M came at us strongly. They scored through a penalty then we got 1 more to put the game out of reach before they grabbed a late 2nd goal. All in all we played well but took our foot off the pedal in the 2nd half. Great job Webby running the subs and Tony reffingSenior 3 - game deferred.
Sun 27th June:
U16G div 2 v Kellyville Won 2-1
Very tough, hard fought win today. 2 great goals by Sarah P., great save by keeper Shayley from a direct penalty, some injuries as well. Was a super team effort today, every team seems to be coming after the leaders and your response over the last couple of weeks has been fantastic. It’s a tough month ahead girls but if you show the courage, determination and enthusiasm you showed today there will be no stopping us. Very proud of the effort today. Coaches player of the match was Sarah L. who stopped wave after wave in our last line of defence. Coach
All Age Ladies div 4 v Lidcombe Waratah Won 5-0
Great result for the Ladies with some nice goals and solid defence to keep a clean sheet. Good passing was a highlight.

Some argy-bargy between players almost proving our own undoing. 2nd half we settled and played good football, passing well and placing our shots to good effect. Well done Tony in goals and thanks to Mladen for reffing. We can beat any team in this comp if we cut out all the arguing and other crap, so why do we keep doing it?
Senior 3 v Parramatta City Won 8-1 U16G div 2 v Rouse Hill Rams Loss 2-0 Our 1st loss of the season and the most proud I have been of the team this season. Top of the table clash we started with 10 then had to play with 9 for about 15 min when one of our girls was taken out. I had to drag my daughter Cassie out of her sick bed to play which I was so proud of, she did it for the team and the coach / dad. We had injuries and some other sick girls. I’m going to mention the 10 of you, it was a super effort, and 2-0 down at half-time you outplayed RH 2nd half. Well done Cassie, Courtney, Cleo, Kacey, Kaylah, Sarah L, Sarah P, Shayal, Simone, and Susan.
All Age Ladies div 4 v Wenty Waratah Won 7-2 After the previous days thrashing the Ladies 4 went into this game determined not to make the same mistakes. Straight away you could tell the difference because we were passing and not blindly kicking the ball anywhere. Placement of shots on goal were really good. An example of this was Claire's curled shot into back corner of the net. Congratulations to Mel for her first goal. Di, Tammy, Lauren and Nicki K defended well against some fast strikers. Everyone played well but Bec and Mel had outstanding games and this was reflected in player votes. Players of the match were Bec, Nicky P and Mel. Scorers were Nicole P, Vanessa, Claire, Mel, Rochelle. (Stand in coach JN now retiring with 1 win from 1 game)
U6 Black U6 Green U7 U8 U10 div 4 v Lidcombe Waratah Black Loss 10-0 U13 div 3 v Parramatta City Won 3-2 U14 div 4 v North Rocks Draw 3-3 U15 div 3 v Castle Hill United Won 3-1 O35 div 6 v Parramatta City Won 11-1 PC bottom of the table and playing short and with injured players proved to be cannon fodder for us. Their goalkeeper made numerous valiant saves but could only do so much. Plenty of us getting on the scoresheet (although JN still couldn’t manage it) including a wonder strike from Pasta Dom. Injured Don tried hard to stay in goals but handed over to Singh for the 2nd half and PC chipped him with a neat free kick.
Senior 3 v Merrylands SFC Won 6-2
Sun 13th June: U16G div 2 v Wenty Waratah Draw 0-0 Players away today and a couple of sick girls, one of those games where we didn’t play too well as a team. We did fight hard in the end to fight for a draw. Coaches award today goes to Simone who had a great 1st half and played in goals 2nd half when no-one else would. Coach
All Age Ladies div 4 v Castle Hill United Loss 7-0 Not much to say except when we play a passing game we do a lot better. We've beaten this team before and could have done so again but were not switched on. All Age Ladies div 2 v Beaumont Hills Loss 2-1 We had the pleasure of watching the Ladies 2 play this match. The ladies played a good passing game and made many good approaches to goal but luck wasn't with them on the final shots.Goalie Kristen made some really great saves and Jackie was dogged in her determination to get the ball. Good to see Jade using her head.Bec was unlucky not to score. Kim, Lauren and Sarah were solid in the midfield making good use of the field to create chances. New players to the team are fitting in well and everyone is contributing with well thought out passing and supporting each other.
Great game girls. Next one will be a win! (John and Lisa)
