JUNIOR RESULTS RECAP
U12’s:
Great game today, the players got after it right from the start creating huge pressure on Sturt and were rewarded with an early goal.
Although Sturt hadn’t really pressured us to much at the back, they managed to get a shot off to make it 1-1 going into half time.
We started the second half much like the first and applied a lot of pressure on Sturt and forced a handball inside the box, rewarded with a penalty to go 2-1 up.
We controlled a lot of the game and played some really great passages of football, but somehow Sturt managed to squeeze in a equaliser, we continued to control the game and created so many chances to find a winner but we just couldn’t get there with our final shot on goal.
2-2 draw with plenty of positives to take away leading into our cup game Wednesday night, great effort from every player today, was so good to see.
U13’s:
Unlucky not to come away with all three points today.
The lads really took on board the focus this week around using the full width of the pitch, which led to some great passages of play and effective switches.
We found the net just before half time, but Sturt responded early in the second half following a miscommunication at the back.
A late moment of drama saw what looked to be a goal in the dying seconds not given, and we had to settle for a 1–1 draw.
U14's:
The boys did really well today, moved the ball around well and confidentially, but unfortunately gave it away way too easily in situations.
We dominated 75% of the game, happy to come out 4-2 victors.
U15’s:
We made hard work of it in the first half just lacking a bit of intensity. We won a penalty which was cooly converted to go in 1-0 at halftime. The second half we played better and at 2-0 our keeper pulled off a great penalty save. We then went on to win 4-0. Another clean sheet was great to see. Well done boys.
U16’s:
Always a tough place to get a result and today proved to be that. We scored early, then for some reason we panicked in possession and gave the ball away cheaply. We battled to the end and scored last kick of the game to win 2-0, very happy with the clean sheet too.

WOMEN’S RESULTS
Div 2
Heading into the match, the Lady Patriots were forced into a late reshuffle of positions, but adapted quickly and settled into the contest.
The breakthrough came in the 21st minute when Scarlett delivered a perfectly weighted through ball to Georgette, who made no mistake in front of goal, calmly finishing to give Playford the lead. Just two minutes later, the pressure paid off again — Riziki capitalised on a defensive error and smashed the ball into the back of the net, extending the advantage to 2–0.
Playford controlled the tempo for the remainder of the half, forcing Vista deep into their own territory and taking a deserved two-goal lead into the break.
Vista came out strong in the second half, looking to respond and finding moments through the middle. However, Playford’s defence stood firm, with Lyn leading the backline brilliantly, shutting down attacks and protecting the clean sheet with composure and resilience.
The result sees the Lady Patriots maintain their position at the top of the Division 2 table, continuing their strong run of form.
U14’s
A lunchtime game in the heat was always going to be a tough outing for the girls plus half our defence was sick with colds and fevers.
For the first time this year, we lacked desire and our ball control and passing was off, which gave Fulham real belief they could win.
We scored on 21 minutes but the initiative was with Fulham and they deservedly scored from a deflected free kick to make it 1-1.
HT 1-1
The girls knew they were below par and came out in the second with renewed desire.
A fantastic captains goal early gave us the lead and lifted the team. We dominated from there, kept the ball in our forward half and eventually the dam broke and the girls scored 5 goals in 14 minutes.
Wow!
i’ve said it before, we have amazing fire power up front.
FT 7-1
