The U13’s State titles held in Newcastle from the 11^th -14^th of April was a great experience for the Macquarie boys. Many new players to the Academy this year had their 1^st taste of tournament football. To play two games a day over this period requires a huge physical and mental effort .

The teams overall improvement was the highlight for me, hopefully this will be transformed into their weekly competition over the coming weeks.

Thanks to Brad, Tryphena and Jason for their contribution

This Sunday our boys take on the Weston Under 15 team.

The win last week against Newcastle Under 14 SYL was a credit to the boys self-belief and discipline.  After scoring first, and then later going behind, the boys patiently maintained their possession based football.  Part of the aim of this style of football is to fatigue the opposition and the boys were able to go back in front toward the end of the game.

Hi, Macquarie Whites verses Newcastle, The Game commenced at a very fast pace with Macquarie holding our own with their passing game. Newcastle had very explosive strikers and they scored early on in the match to make it 1-0. Macquarie white always regroup and play beautiful football, we had a couple away for this match so our defence was weakend by this.Newcastle are also very physical side and the boys held their own in that regard as well.The final score was 3-0 but this was no indication ...

The boys started off by playing some good football. All we practiced was starting to come together, players starting to look for support etc. Good points were noticed. Good team goals were scored. Mid second half our game plan fell apart. "Footy Tip" Don't forget to check your gear bag before leaving home. See you at training.

It was a hot day at Turner Park Cessnock when the boys took to the field at 1.30pm. The first half they displayed awareness and control and managed to go a goal up. Passing and movement were good in parts, especially against some strong physical challenges.

In football the saying is "its a game of two halves", how true. I think the referee thought we were playing footy in the second half and so the challenges kept coming and coming. This caused confusion and a loss of control from the majori...

Hi all the stripes played the Newcastle mustangs at wallarah today, the boys put in a good performance on a hot afternoon. they put together some good things with some good ball movement ,but we need to improve still. Our defense did well to shut down a chance on goal and over all the boys worked hard.
