U9 - Stingray's Blue

The final game of the year and sadly we drew, we had so many opportunities but could not convert them. Not practising on Wednesday was felt today as we lacked the tactical advantage we would normally have. Next week is the awards ceremony and the final certificate........ It's been fun and I hope we'll get together sometime this summer to talk about all those games and the games to come.

Congratulations to Harry Parker for last weeks outstanding performance - Gold Star Award

Coaches' Corner : Everybody contributed today and the improvement has been noticed by everybody from the start to the end of the season- a draw was what we got but we should probably have won.

See you all at the presentation..

The score ended up 2-2
Scorers: Charlie Bloxham (1), Thomas Lang (1)

U9 - Sandringham Sandy Stars

It was time to play the No.1 club in our league and sadly we lost again albeit it by a much smaller margin. The only difference was we still fall apart when under pressure and lose focus. Saying all that the coaches thought it was the best we had played and we ran our socks off. Many goals were denied but ultimately the better team won. We have one more game left and its time to end on a high but with no practise and with the Blues being trained by Erwin Rommel we have our work cut out for us.

Rachel blew us all away with the half-time shark fruit - Lets see someone TOP that!

Come on little chaps, its time for the Theme song:


Congratulations to Arun Bloxham for last weeks outstanding performance and GOAL - Gold Star Award

Coaches' Corner : Everybody gave there all in this game and even the half time fruit from the mouth of a shark could not give us more goals- last game and a big last effort next week is required - the fruit is going to be a problem for somebody.

The score ended up 6-2 to the The Sandy Stars
Scorers: Charlie Bloxham, Harry Parker

U9 - East Bentleigh Swordfish

What a nail-biter; and while East Bentleigh were a much improved team we just could not find the back of the net in the first half. After some tropical fruit delights and a few choice words from the coaches we went in looking for the win. If finally happened, a great first goal from Arun from 30m out that trickled over the goal-line. From that point we had multiple chances but we just could not convert any more opportunities (one from Karl crossed the line but sadly the referee did not see it). Both Martin and Thomas were solid in goal and we kept a clean sheet. The one thing we did notice that the Swordfishes fell down at the slightest glance from our boys with Martin coming up to me saying "what a bunch of suk-a-la-la's"

Congratulations to Martin Neubauer for last weeks outstanding performance - Gold Star Award

Coaches' Corner : A good team performance where we should have scored about 4 goals but managed 1 - we need to be quicker getting to the ball and releasing the ball or the opposition shut us down.

And this weeks offerings of fruit were not bad with little or no complaints.

The score ended up 1(2)-0 to the Aspendale
Scorers: Arun Bloxham

Boys just having fun
