In a mighty top of the table clash, the U14 Div1 side suffered their first loss of the season against Lions Green – a team full of representative players.
The Whitsunday side held their own from the opening whistle and showed that they could match it with the best.
Coach Brett O'Keefe was disappointed with a few decisions by the ref but was proud of the way the team worked together. Kai Draper was Man of the Match with a tireless effort in midfield, driving forward and creating many opportunities.
The U16 Prems' were back in the winner's circle with a scrappy, hard fought win against Country FC. Goals to Jazz Knezevic and Zane Hill saw them go in at half time 2-1 – enough to secure them the victory.
The Women had two tough opponents in Wanderers and Country. The Div1 side faced the top of the table Wanderers side who were at full strength and determined to reverse the 4-1 defeat inflicted by Whitsunday the week before. Wanderers came out firing and scored 4 goals in the first half, despite Robyn Dean’s outstanding performance in goals.
The Premier women had a nail-biting tussle with Country FC, leading 2-0 before Country came back leaving the score in the dying minutes 3-3. Sari Goodall scored her second goal to secure the win for the side. The win almost guarantees the side a place in the finals.
The Senior men continued their good form against Wanderers with the Reserves fighting out a draw 2-2 against their third placed opponents. Laith Beattie and James Vodicka scored the goals and the result puts the side in contention for the finals series.
The Premier Men's said ran riot against the home side running in 7 goals to 3. Harry Hodgen scored yet another hat trick in a sensational return season. Ben Smith adding two goals, with Scott Ferries and Jimmy McEvoy-Bowe adding the extras. The win ensures the side will be playing for the championship come September.
