As we head towards the pointy end of the season, most Whitsunday United teams are jockeying for positions in the top four.
On Friday night, the divisional men played City Brothers. Div2 went down 2-1 but Div1 managed a win, coming out on top 2-1. Div2 are now in fourth spot on the ladder and Div1 are top of their league.
U13 Div1 faced a strong Country United team who should arguably be in FQPL – the 8-0 loss does not reflect the effort on the park by the young Whitsunday team. The U13 FQPL Squad went down to Lions 3-2 in a tight match – they still sit on top of the ladder
WUFC U14's were ready for a big game this weekend against top of the ladder, Magpies. Always a fast paced, intense game playing this team and it didn't disappoint. The WU boys came out strong from kick off, working the ball up into our attacking half early on. A couple of attempts on goal early on were missed opportunities. The team played quick and dominated the action for the majority of the first half, unluckily conceding 2 goals in quick succession as half time loomed. Second half, WUFC kept up their intensity, keeping Magpies from scoring for the majority of second half however tiredness crept in the last 5 minutes allowing Magpies to find the back of the net. Final score WUFC 0- Magpies 3 – they still sit in third spot on the ladder.
The U16 had a good win over Lions 4-0 then had two forfeits against them on the Sunday with Mackay teams not travelling up – the results put them in a solid third on the table.
Whitsunday Women’s Premier had a strong all-round team performance that saw Whitsunday take a convincing 6–0 win at home against Country. Drew led the line with smart hold-up play early on, and the team created plenty of chances before Sarah broke through with two quick goals before the break. Bre added a third after half-time, followed by goals from Rob Dog, Sarah (completing her hat-trick), and Bre again to round off the scoreline. Bre stood out with a dynamic showing on the wing, and the whole team worked hard to keep a clean sheet. A composed, confident display and a proud coach on the sidelines! Fourth on the table with games in hand making third spot a real chance.
The U23 Men beat City Brothers in a tough top of the table tussle. The 6-4 win puts them on top of the table. In Men’s FQPL, Whitsunday had a narrow win over Brothers 1-0 – the win keeps them in third position on the table.
