WOMENS MATCH RESULTS
U14’s:
After last week’s top of the table clash finished 1-1, we ventured to Nuriootpa in a 2nd v 3rd clash against Barossa United in the rain. This was going to be another tough game against a quality outfit and the girls would need to bring their absolute best if we were going to walk away with the points.
First half we dominated the middle of the park through Leilah Kaneza and Helen Constance and while opportunities to score were in short supply because of Barossa’s tough and disciplined back 4, we did break through on 20 minutes. Leilah is one of our most physical and determined players and kudos to her for smashing her way past two defenders to shoot true to give us the lead.
HT 1-0
The second half started with an unnecessary corner being given away only 3 minutes in and from that Barossa managed to edge the ball over our keeper into the net. Barossa lifted and we were under immense pressure for the next 10 minutes, but the girls held firm. We slowly wrestled back control of the game and on 50 minutes, Apuk Baak received a pass and danced past the last defender to score her 10th goal of the season and restore our lead. 2-1 with 20 minutes left.
As has been the case all season, our Playford girls pushed hard to the final whistle and for much of the last 10 minutes of the game, we were camped around Barossa’s penalty box. Acacia Baggendorf made a tremendous run skilling three defenders before shooting, but sadly the keeper saved. With just 2 minutes to go, some great work from Helen Constance and Liya Ratthanachan on the right wing resulted in a cross into the box. Acacia deftly controlled the ball and smashed it high into the net. Game over!
FT 3-1.
While the goals were amazing, once again it was a team performance strong on desire and second efforts that won the day. Our defence, led by Pendeza Mabilo was amazing though. They read the game brilliantly, understood the Barossa tactics being used and shut down the league’s leading goal scorer. Well done!!!
Patriot Girl Power!!!
Div 2:
Heading into this week’s clash, Lady Patriots sat on top of the table with Mount Barker United close behind in second place, setting up a tough and physical contest.
The cold, wet and damp conditions were challenging from the first whistle, but both sides came ready to battle. Lady Patriots controlled much of the possession in the first half, while strong tackles flew in from both teams throughout the contest.
Despite chances at both ends, the players headed into the change rooms locked at 0-0.
The second half burst into life when Captain Skye delivered a perfectly weighted through ball to Riziki, who made a run into space down the left wing. Riziki unleashed a rocket into the top corner — “top bins” — giving Lady Patriots a 1-0 lead in the 52nd minute.
Mount Barker responded quickly, equalising just four minutes later in a hard-fought battle.
Both teams continued to push until the final whistle, with great shots, strong defensive efforts and heavy tackles across the park. Lady Patriots showed great resilience and teamwork to hold onto the draw under tough conditions, earning a valuable point in a well-contested 1-1 result.

JUNIOR RESULTS RECAP
vs Para Hills Knights
U12’s:
Good even contest this morning, solid in defence and another clean sheet, we had good possession in periods, but also held up to moments of huge pressure in return, unfortunately we couldn’t capitalise on our chances hitting the post numerous times, disappointing not to find a winner, but fair result in the end and positives to take away.
U13’s: postponed
U14’s:
Once again the boys came out ready for a challenge on a day where you have to play to the conditions.
We managed to put one away early, and continued to dominate posession. Several missed opportunities and a moment of lapse in the middle saw Para Hills equalize before half time.
Second half the lads demonstrated desire and determination , they displayed that they wanted the ball and the game more than their opponents which led to us putting the winner away with approximately 15min to go.
Very proud of the whole group and congratulations to all involved.
U15’s:
We played in very wet conditions against Para Hills at home. We got one early and looked like we were up and about. Then we conceded two goals from set pieces and somehow went in 2-1 down at the break. The second half we played the conditions better and controlled the game. A worldie from 25 yards drew us level before a great team goal saw us take the lead. A great fight back and well deserved win!
U16’s:
We started well scoring a well worked goal only to concede 10 minutes before halftime, the boys lifted and finished the half 3-1 up. We started the second half as we finished the first, putting 3 goals away, ending with a 6-1 win with 2 lads finishing with hattricks.
