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.

AAL5 through to Grand Finals

1-0 win to the AAL/5 against Castle Hill sees them go straight through to the Grand Finals.  The only Holroyd team to go straight to Grand Finals.
It was an exciting match to watch. 
Sara scored in the first 5 minutes of the match.  Holroyd continued to take shots and were pressing Castle Hills goals all first half.  Second half Castle Hill were at our goals a bit more.  However, Jess made some absolutely brillant saves that gave Holroyd the upper hand. The whole team worked hard to retain their lead but were tiring in the last 10 minutes.   While Castle Hill were in the Holroyd goal mouth quite a few times in those last 10 minutes Holroyd kept at it and with the help of Jess managed to shut the opposition down.
Congratulations Ladies we knew you could do it

3 out of 4 through to finals

Nailbiting finishes today in the race to the finals.

The 15/3s were down 3-1 at half-time.  Showing a lot of heart they then scored 3 goals in the second half and won 4-3.

The 16/2s scored the first goal of the match via a penalty handball call.  Guildford County then equalised.  Plenty of opportunities in extra time for both sides but no score.  Penalties seesawed with AJ making some magnificent saves.  It took 10 penalties to each side to get a result. Unfortunately we missed out.  The boys played valiantly and should hold their heads high.

The 35/3s were up 1 nil after scoring off a free kick.  The opposition scored early second half to equalise.  Then halfway through second half there was a handball by Granville Waratah in the penalty box clearly seen by the linesman.   Holroyd put the penalty away to go up 2-1 and this was the final score.

The 35/7s won 2-1.

Congratulations to the 15/3s, 35/3s and 35/7s all progress to the finals next Saturday.

We look forward to the result at Ladies 5s match tomorrow at Lidcombe at 3pm.
