ARC Hosts Mackerel Feeding Frenzy

Last week was a rollercoaster for our young club—full of soaring highs, bittersweet farewells, and a Thursday night training session that looked more like a tactical masterclass than an amateur run-around.

Monday night saw a solid turnout of 14 players, proving once again that we’re more than just a collection of enthusiastic athletes—we’re a growing force. By Thursday, we had 17 eager bodies on the pitch, and if we keep this up, we might need to start taking reservations.

One thing is clear: our team is evolving. Gone are the days of relying on brute force (though some of our more “enthusiastic” tacklers might need reminding). We’re moving towards a game built on strategy, skill, and—dare I say it—actual technique! Our substitute rotations are smoother, our positional play is sharper, and the game is looking better than ever.

Of course, individual performances have been outstanding across the board, but if we had to highlight just one player, it’s Macca. He’s like a Swiss Army knife—useful in any position and always reliable. If we had three of him, we’d never lose a game.

We’ve also been getting great feedback from visitors, who’ve praised our club’s welcoming atmosphere and family-friendly vibe. It’s the kind of energy that keeps players coming back—and growing in numbers.

See you all Monday night. Until then, rest up, hydrate, and maybe practice a few goal celebrations—because we’re only getting better!
