Result 1-3 loss to Newcastle Mustangs.  This was a game of lost opportunities where we had a majority of the possession and control of the game.  A  bit of ball watching saw quick counter attacks  from Newcastle through the middle.  The  players need to transfer what is learnt  at training to game days.  The boys have been working really hard at training and it is  simple mistakes that  cost us.  Fortunately there are many games ahead to work at getting this across to match day.  I definitely...

Due to washouts the first round, this was our first game.

Our Macquarie Blue and Stripe teams played one another on Sunday at Wallarah oval. Both teams tried to play football, which was very pleasing. Playing against your own is always difficult, however the boys stuck to their tasks. It's a long season, and there were quite a few things to work out. Well done to all.

 

Our White team played Hunter Valley Maroon. An excellent result. This team played some good football. They played as a te...

Just a small match report from Sundays game. Macquarie v hunter valley.

Both teams played very well. 1st goal shot by Georgia Cook and 2nd goal scored by Kiara Olivares. Both goals in the box.

I was very impressed with my whole team as they did not give up throughout the whole game, which gave us the victory win 2-1.

From what was on display on Saturday, the 12's comp should be a very close affair. There was some pretty good football played.

 

Our white team played Newcastle Mustangs, in the early fixture. The boys should be very pleased with their effort. Keeping the ball and their build up from the back was a highlight. They did not let the Newcastle team settle in to any routine. Good all round performance. Won 2 - 0

 

Our blue team played the late game against quite a well coached NNSW girls...

It was nice to finally start the season on Saturday with the boys playing against the Newcastle Mustangs in round 1.

It was cool and a little wet but the boys felt good and were looking forward to it.

They played their passing game well, especially in the first half with the majority of the possession, switching the ball effectively.

Challenges were strong, as they always are from the Newcastle teams, however our team were strong also and not at all put off.

In the second half we managed ...

Macquarie U14 SYL – Round 3

This Sunday our boys take on the NSW Institute of Sport under 18 girls team.

The loss last week to Hamilton Olympic under 15 boys showed the physical challenges for our under 14 boys. The game was a little reminder that maintaining possession is the key for us so that it remains a ”technical skill” based contest rather than a “physical” contest.

Training this week has been focused on the three main defensive strategies of the FFA National Curriculum...

Our first trial matches against Newcastle went ahead as schedule. Very hot day and with the long grass it did not help our style of football. Newcastle produced 3 very competitive football sides. The under 11's results went against us, however as it was our first hit out the boys played very well and were totally committed. Both our under 12 teams also played very good, and you can see players are listening to there coaches instructions. have a good week at training and can't wait for our fir...
