JUNIOR SOCCER
With the finals done and dusted preparations are under way for a weekend of grand finals and a much anticipated Gala Day.
The B Grade grand final will be kicking off on Saturday at 9am between Blue and Black. Due to prior commitments with both teams it has been agreed that the A grade grand final between Grey and Green will be played on Sunday at 9am. Come along on both days and give these teams your support.
The Gala Day activities will commence at 9am on Saturday(including D graders). The day promises to be action packed and fun filled with quick round robin games of soccer played in all grades as well as a jumping castle for C and D grade players and bubble soccer for A and B grade players.
A free sausage sizzle for the kids will replenish their energy levels after activities conclude. Presentation of trophies will take place after Gala Day activities.
The committee would like to thank our sponsors IGA, Davies Newasagency, DB Engineering and Fabrication and McGeechans for their generosity in supporting a wonderful sport and great competition for our kids. There are many parents who volunteer their time each week to support our game. No matter how small or large your contribution, without it this competition would not run, so a big thank you to all of you.
Finals results:
A Grade
A very tight game was played between Red and Green with Green just managing to edge out Red with 4 goals to 3. Sam McGregor was outstanding scoring 3 goals and Jacob Griffiths 1 for Green. Mitchell Lyons, Kimberly Allport and Hanna Shipton all found the net for Red. The skills and sportsmanship seen in this game was of a high standard and sets the scene for a fantastic grand final.
The friendly game was played between Grey and Blue. A lot of fun was had in this game and it was great to see the kids able to put the competitiveness aside and just enjoy themselves kicking the ball around.
B Grade
A hard fought game played out between Black and Green. Charlie Cramp managed to score the only goal of the match for Black. They were very strong in defence and managed to keep Green scoreless even though there were many great attempts by Green to break through.
The friendly games in B grade seen Blue defeat Orange 5-0 and Maroon defeat Red 5-1.
C Grade
No finals are played in C grade but that didn’t stop the kids playing their best. Seven seemed to be the number of the day in C grade with Maroon defeating Orange 7-1 and Red defeating Blue 7-3.
