Match Reports 16th May 2009

Saturday the 16th May Under 9 Port Saints Bears vs Lake Cathie Yellow. This was a hard fought match for the Bears being down 2-1 at half time. But they fought back in the second half showing great team work as well as individual flair resulting in a 5-2 win for the Bears. Hence, it was a difficult decision for the coach to decide on player of the match. The award was given to Isaac Demaria for his great defensive work.

 Well done Under 9 Bears!

Following this hard fought game on the weekend, the Bears had a gruelling training session Monday afternoon, involving a 50 minute game with the mighty Under 9 Sharks. Thanks to the Sharks for this opportunity. Both teams showed excellent sportsmanship and commitment to the game of soccer.

 

U8 Port Saints Bears

U8s Port Saints Bears vs Camden Haven (Kumbak Bakery)

The U8s Port Saints Bears enjoyed a great game of football at the Laurieton fields on Saturday when they came up against a well-drilled Camden Haven side.

The bears had to turn up the defence to keep the ball away from the Camden Haven goal and worked hard as a team to earn another win.

Samuel Amini and Adam Sherratt dominated the attack shooting six goals between them. They were ably supported by Ty Bonney who shone in the defensive ranks, Riley Fairhurst who worked hard along the sidelines to place the ball near goal, and Jackson Haverfield and Blake McMillan in the midfield. Callum Frewin put in a top effort before retiring from the game injured.

 Adam Sherratt was named Player of the Day

 

 

 

Match Reports 9th May 2009

U8s Port Saints Bears The U8s Port Saints Bears have entered the 2009 season in fine form with maturity and confidence bringing a new enthusiasm to their on-field performance. The young charges came up against Port Saints Lions at their home ground on Saturday in a match that tested their skills and teamwork.

The Bears were forced to work hard to get the ball to their goal end but the fine footwork of Samuel Amini earned the team the first goal of the game. Supported by Adam Sherratt and Callum Frewin with a goal each, Amini went on to score three more outstanding goals before fulltime. The Lions put up a great defensive line forcing the Bears' Riley Fairhurst and newcomers Ty Bonney and Blake McMillan to rally the troops to ensure the team stayed on top of their opponents.

Samuel Amini and Callum Frewin were named the Players of the Day

 Under 9 Saints Tigers V Under 9 Port Macquarie FC

Another great match between these two teams. For the last three years we have looked forward to playing the Port Macq. FC team. The boys all go to school together or know each other so it's always great to see not only the young guys in competition but also the spirit of fair play when things don't always go one team's way. A fairly even match that highlighted the developing skills of the team, such as positional play & passing.

Well done Tigers!!!
