INTERMEDIATES FINAL SERIES WEEK 1

1st Sharks v 6th Barracudas

The Barracudas have not had much luck all year and were out to make something of their finals campaign but the Sharks were undefeated in the regular season and weren't going to let this one slip if they could help it. The Barracudas kept themselves in the game with a crowded defensive style that was putting the Sharks attack off and frustration was starting to creep into their game a little. But the class of Justin Stubbs shone through in the later stages of the game scoring twice to seal the victory! Best for the Sharks were Justin Stubbs Angus Bunn and Natasha Liversidge and best for the Barracudas were Pip Sherriff Matt Barr and Mitchell Clarke. Final score Sharks 2 Barracudas 0

2nd Piranhas v 5th Stingrays

The Piranhas were coming into the finals with their best win of the season last week and were looking to put the Stingrays through the wringer and storm into next weeks preliminary final. However the beauty of finals football is expect the unexpected! The Stingrays stung the Piranhas defence early with Josh Daniher slotting in a nice goal to get his team in front and the Piranhas were looking a little flat in attack. The Mighty Midget Midfield of the Stingrays were making the Piranhas look like they had finished 5th in the comp with some strong tackling and nice teamwork but the scores were levelled with a well finished goal to Patrick Willding. The game was heading for extra time when a hand ball in the goal square gave the Stingrays the opportunity to wrap up the first upset and Tom Daniher slammed the ball into the bottom left hand corner to give his team a great win.

SENIORS

Asteroids v Fireballs

The last meeting of these 2 teams saw an entertaining match from start to finish and this match was no different. The Fireballs were a little flat in the first 20 minutes and paid the penalty when some pedestrian defence saw Josh Stubbs kick the Asteroids into the lead. However the intensity of the Fireballs game lifted and they were rewarded with a well struck ball from Pat Martin flying into the back of the net from a diving Kaitlyn Harrison in goal. The second half was end to end stuff with some outstanding defending from both teams keeping the score the same as at half time. Best for the Asteroids were Jason Nucifora Jonathon Crisp and Jacob Camilleri and best for the Fireballs were Chris Corcoran Tamara Roberts and Alex Royds. Final score Asteroids 1 Fireballs 1

Meteors v Comets

This game was very entertaining with both teams creating some good passages of play with some nice passing. Although the score was 0-0 at halftime the game was ready to explode in the second half and explode it did! First off Harley Williams put a well finished move into the back of the net to give the Comets a nice lead and they could have increased their lead if they were a little more accurate in front of goal. Things were looking good for the Comets as time ticked away and with the Meteors not creating much of a threat on the Comets goal. The Meteors finally started to play more as a team and before they knew it they had scored and were looking like they had control of the game. The Comets were running out of steam as the Meteors managed to score a late winner and take away the 3 points. Best for the Meteors were Tashi Wood-Ward Beth McAllister and Molly Northcott and best for the Comets were Claydon Williams Ben Wlasak and Tom Willding. Final score Meteors 2 Comets 1

ALL AGE

A great game between the White and Blues saw 11 goals and plenty of missed chances as well. The Whites skipped away to a 4-1 lead at half time and were playing some nice controlled football as the Blues were struggling in defence. The Blues came out firing and managed to get the game back to 4-3 early in the second half but the Whites managed to consolidate their lead and ran out comfortable winners in the end 7-4.
