A well-deserved win for our u15 prem this week against Country United. They attacked confidently from the start and played with determination and heart throughout. A much-needed goal from Luka Miller in the second half found us the momentum we needed. Solid performances from Logan Burke and Byron Goodin in defence kept the final score to 2-1.

Premier ladies also came out on top against Country this weekend. The ladies were in control for much of the game however goals were elusive. Eventually Steph opened the scoring, finishing a cross put in by Alice. The ladies went into the second half 1-0 up and determined to get ahead by a few more. Finals score was 3-0 win to Whitsunday ladies.

Our Men's Premiers and Reserve travelled to Wanderers in what proved to be a crazy two games.
Our premiers ended up winning 8-4 after going 2-0 early in the first half showing great determination not only to come from behind but to slot a massive 8 goals. Our Men's Reserves started the game very slowly but an opening goal from Zac Kelley sparked the game into life with Wanderers scoring twice to lead 2-1. The team rallied and the quality began to shine with Zac completing a hat trick and Sam Blake slotting from the penalty spot to bring home 3 points.
