An exciting round of football at the sports park had it all – close games, great performances, stunning goals, and some very physical clashes.
The U14 Div1 started the show with a steady run against a much improved Dolphins side. The Whitsunday kids hit the lead early with a goal to Reef Hansen in the first few minutes. He went on to score another shortly after and the side played good football to win 4-0 with Kai Draper and Charlie Fendley adding the extras.
The U14 Premier side had the upper hand against Crusaders but conceded a late goal to end up with a 2-2 draw.
U16 Prems suffered a rare loss against the run of play. They had the upper hand over the Crusaders from the start, leading by a goal for most of the game. Jazz Knezevic scored a hat trick of spectacular goals with Tyler Jankowski chiming in too.
Alex Grossi's touch was sublime, setting up goals from corners and free kicks. Crusaders never went away and their GK kept them in the hunt – eventually beating the home side 5-4.
The Men's Div1 team celebrated their first win of the season. Josh Lowe starred with two goals and the side ran out winners over Magpies 3-1.
Men's Reserves had a strong game against the normally dominant Magpies Reserve side. Phil McAllister scored a spectacular goal to keep the game at a 1-1 draw.
The Premier Women had a drama filled game with the visiting Magpies team on the back foot and a a three-goal lead. A clash between United player Sari Goodall and the Magpies Goalkeeper saw the game cut short after 60 minutes, when both girls ended up in hospital. Thankfully, bothescaped major injury.
The Premier Men closed out the night with a dominant win over last years' Grand Finalists Magpies.
Despite an early sending off leaving the side with 10 men for most of the game, the Whitsunday side showed their grit and determination to take the win 3-1 after being behind by a goal.
Tommy Torzsok slotted two amazing goals to steer the side to the win with Kristian Mulholland adding the extra.
The win takes the side to second place on the table.
