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.

Training this week has been focused on creating scoring opportunities by “thir...

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.

The boys last game was against the 13s girls. We held posession extremely well again for the majority of the game with only a few lapses in concentration and composure. This is something we need to work on throughout the season and should improve. We also failed to put the ball in the back of the net more than once and really should have won the game. The girls were strong and physical and managed to get a goal back. The game finished 1-1. The boys played some beautiful football and there awa...

On Saturday 25th March  the boys Played Hunter Valley Maroon , they started out well with our well drilled passing game although Hunter Valley got a run away & scored early. Hunter Valley are larger physically than us but this doesn’t deture our boys and we rise to the challenge. Hunter Valley wher able to score another making it 2-0. The boys regrouped, determination, passing well saw us  bring the score closer together.
The boys really showed our apponent that we can play good Football wit...

This Saturday our boys take on the Newcastle under 14 SYL team.

The draw last week to Valentine under 15 boys highlighted that our up tempo “possession” based football and our “ball orientated” defending requires an aggressive mental approach to the game. The approach is that when in possession the ball is moved with controlled urgency and when lost there is immediate pressure on the ball. The boys started the game a little too passively but improved significantly in the second half...

Very well played by all. The exercises and drills we have practiced all came off in this game. The boys played some terrific football. maybe the only part was our strength of our passes. It was great to see our team pass then look for support. can't wait for next week. Great effort boys. Thanks goes to Sally for her skills of organizing our team prior to game.
