Saturday afternoon saw a full day of football action at the Sports Park culminating in big wins for the senior Premier squads.
The day started early with the U13 FQPL side taking on second place Magpies.
The home side put in a strong performance on the back of solid defence from Lauren, Sarah, and Karlee which helped keep the score goalless until very late in the game when Magpies managed to break the deadlock.
A last-minute goal as against the run of play gave the final score 2-0 to the Magpies.
Yet again, the U15 Div1 side did everything but win the game against Country.
In an evenly poised match, they played exception football and dominated possession but just could not find the back of the net.
Div2 men played against the U17 Lions on Saturday afternoon.
While the game was back and forth the Whitsunday team never really looked like getting into their stride. Failing to take chances that came their way the Whitsunday team eventually fell 4-1 to the young Lions squad.
Div1 men had an arm wrestle of a game against Sarina.
Going into the half 1-1. The Whitsunday front line were a constant threat, eventually taking the lead with a mazy run from Tate Butler who beat three Sarina players to score a beautiful solo goal, seeing the game out 2-2.
The Reserve women played out a frustrating draw with Rangers. The two teams were evenly matched in the first half which saw them go into the break nil all.
The ladies kept trying but couldn’t break through the defence and came away with a 1-1 draw.
Premier women continued their winning streak with a 10-0 win over Country (Orange).
Whitsunday were determined to come out strong, knowing that Country were sitting in the top 4 on the ladder.
The goals started early in the first half thanks to Steph who finished off a cross from Akema. Willow then demonstrated absolute class by curling a corner ball into the net, and not long after Lena got on the end of a corner to put Whitsundays further ahead.
A few weeks off now and the next game will be the top of the table clash against Lions.
The Mens Premier Reserves were looking to bounce back after last week’s defeat.
Kurt Ashley put the game to bed with 5 minutes to go with Whitsundays winning 4-1.
The Premier Men started their game with a bang through a Scott Boldy goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, the lads didn’t play their best football for the remainder of the half and lacked the clinical touches they had the week before.
Whitsundays ran out 8-1 winners, but it was great to see Dolphins fight to the end with so many young talented players.
