Whilst the senior Men’s Premier sides struggled for numbers and results against Lions on the weekend, the Premier Women continued the winning form with a dominant performance against Mackay Rangers at Rangers Park.
The solid 4-1 win was punctuated by a stunning long-range goal by Willow Gaffney striking the ball well outside the box and finding the top corner.
Dani Kinnear set up another great goal with a perfectly placed corner. The win makes it two from two for the Premier Women.
The Reserve Women went down 3-1 to Rangers; a great effort for the many players having their first season in the sport.
Both Premier Men’s sides were short of players, but not effort, and took on strong Lions outfits and despite minimal substitutes, made the home team work for their spoils.
The Reserves were unable to hold onto an early lead, eventually losing 4-2, whilst the Premier Men conceded two early goals and were unable to reply in a 2-0 loss.
On Friday night the Division One and Two lads travelled to the Wanderers fields and continued their good form. Div Two looked likely to take their first win but ended with a 1-1 draw.
Similarly, the Div One boys had a constant tussle and narrowly lost in the dying minutes, 3-2.
Under 13 Premiers faced a tough and aggressive Magpies outfit and despite a great effort went down 2-0.
A similar result for the U15 Division One side who couldn’t buy a goal despite many shots and near misses – both young sides have made a good start to the season and shown lots of promise.
The Under 15s continued their winning ways beating Magpies 5-0 and looking strong contenders for finals already.
Coach Peter Farrell was happy with how the club was tracking across all age groups: “Lots to work and build on but great attitude and effort throughout the club.
“This will be a great year again for Whitsunday United.”
This weekend the Men play at Whitsunday Sports Park, with League One Men against Rangers on Friday night from 7pm and the Premier Squads against Wanderers on Saturday night from 5pm.
