U6 Port Saints Bobcats v Port United Goannas
It was another superb team performance against the Port United Goannas as the Bobcats notched up their highest goal tally of the season. Diljot picked up the Weekly Award for his incredible display in both attack and defense and was rewarded with a goal as well, Jett swooped on the loose ball on several occasions to prevent the opposition from scoring, Brodie tore around the field in a non-stop and very determined display and showed off some fancy new ball manoeuvres that bamboozled everyone, Evan cracked another half-dozen into the back of the next for the 2nd week in a row and Byron who is small in stature but big in heart continued his tough enforcer style game by getting in and having a crack at everything! Hats off to the Goannas who played with great gusto and managed a few goals themselves. Bobcat parents were very proud of the efforts of all their boys today.
U11 Port Saints Wildcats v Port Saints Bears 1-2
The Wildcats headed onto the field for a make up game against the Bears which was washed out in June. This being the Wildcats last game of the season, due to a bye next week, there were a few end of season positional changes in the first half, the game started out well for the Wildcats, but just before half time the Bears took advantage of a Wildcats communication error and scored the first goal to go into half time with a 1-0 lead. With some great passing between Bailey Pascoe and Ethan Garden, Bailey found the back of the net with a great goal. This week Bailey was named player of the week, he had a fantastic game in both defence and attack. Well done to the Wildcats for a great season, they are James Lambert, Lachlan Ross, Alex Ross, Bailey Pascoe, Ethan Garden, Dylan Orchard, Brandon Bryant, Lachlan Camilleri, Daniel Mottley, Jacob Oakes, Noah Agland, Eloise Pepper, Clare McLachlan and Brendan Fuller. A big thank you to coach Darrell Pascoe and assistant coach Al Ross for coaching the team.

| Port Saints Gala Day - 8th August 2010 |
|
U8 Port Saints Tigers
What started out a chilly morning for the Port Saints Gala Day ended up a spectacular day in every way sun, clear skies, enthusiastic teams & spectators! The Tigers had a fantastic day, winning 4 out of 6 initial games & making the finals. They didn't come away with the winning medallion but proudly a second place ribbon they worked so hard to attain. After four games in a row, a few tears of exhaustion flowed - lunch came at the right time, rejuvenating the boys enough to play another 3 matches! Roy Krebbs put in a super effort for his team despite being very unwell. Patrick Brown was on fire all day, ecstatically scoring his first 2 goals of the season. The more seasoned players: Isaac Plunkett, Tate Hutchison, Chris Hamilton & Jack Hyde gave the team it's backbone strength of technique, tactical footwork, power & speed, scoring several goals between them. Charley Terry, Tobias Marsham & Tim Myhill provided the necessary support around the field and in goal positions. Angus Williams joined the Tigers team, providing exceptional skills & a goal to boot! Whacky Charley brought some humour to the day with his victory streak (well half) around the oval after their winning matches! Great work Tigers!

U6 Port Saints Bobcats v Camden Haven Sapphires
The boys were at home to the Camden Haven Sapphires in a tough tussle that went right down to the wire. Both teams made several breaks in the first half which led to a few goals and a few near misses but the scores were still all locked up at the main break. The second stanza proved to be an almighty arm wrestle and there were limited opportunities as both sides showed great determination to keep the ball out of the back of the net so a draw at full time was a fitting result. Evan (2) and Diljot (1) scored for the Bobcats and along with Brodie played really in attack despite some heavy marking, Taylor did his best in the midfield and the Weekly Award went to Jett for his outstanding contribution in stopping a number of shots in front of goal.
U7 Saints Dingos v Wauchope Cedars
Port Saints Dingos hosted Wauchope Cedars on Saturday. Saints Dingos carried through with their convincing u7's 'gala day' winners from last Sunday, defeating the Cedars in a fantastic game.
Saints Dingos got the game rolling with an incredible shot at goal from Kyle Davis, the only scorer of the day well done Kyle, Mitchell Clarke tried and tried and tried just missing at least four shots at goal. Man of the match went to Jaylen Butler, who continued his consistent effort of last Sunday showing he is a confident defender and an ace attacker. Braydn Cook, Cobe Rose and Ella Wighton demonstrated terrific teamwork to support their team and defeat the opposition. Thanks to the Wauchope Cedars for a great game.
U7 Port Saints Bears v Camden Have Redbacks
The Bears came up against the Camden Haven Redbacks on Saturday morning at a sun drenched Findlay Park. All of the players had a fantastic game, showing great ball control and using the whole pitch. Really good passing by all the players this week after a great Gala Day last Sunday.
No goals were scored this week by the Bears however there were a few near misses by Spence and Theo who carved them up on the wings. Bridgette, Mason, Josh, Jack, and Sarah all came close to scoring goals this week. Well done team.
U8 Port Saints Tigers v Port Macquarie FC Pythons
What a great defensive game by the Tigers against the skilful Pythons! Some great saves in goals by Patrick Brown & Tim Myhill, but a few well placed kicks by the Pythons escaped them, leading to their win. Tobias Marsham, bounding with energy, played a brilliant game! Never holding back, Charley Terry blocked many balls & made a great goal attempt. Roy Krebbs took a power-packed ball full on, landing him on the ground. Not deterred he was hot on the ball all game. Chris Hamilton, dependable for his long, powerful kicks also managed, very successfully & obliviously, to deflect ball from goal area with his head. Isaac Plunkett, the quiet achiever, always impresses with his skilful footwork. Tate Hutchison, dependable too for his power-packed kicks and goal scoring and Jack Hyde's consistent lightning speed & tackles made for an action-packed game.

Byron and Taylor soon joined their team mates and offered tremendous support which saw the Bobcats pounce on the ball and take control from start to finish.

Saints Dingos were hosted by the Saints Bears last Saturday. Saints Dingos had all players on deck with Tallis Petro making his season return after breaking his wrist. Dingos were in top form giving their best and enjoying their last game of u7's football. Kyle Davis, Braydn Cook, Jaylen Butler and Tallis Petro were all goal scorers well done boys. Cobe Rose, Ella Wighton and Mitchell Clark supported their team putting in a fantastic effort to hold off a determined Saints Bears side. Thanks Saints Bears for a great last game of the season. Well done to Saints Dingos for maturing as players over the year, learning to play as a team - sharing the ball, following through on their kicks, attacking the ball more through confidence in their ball skills.

U8's Port Saints Tigers vs Port Macquarie FC Expressway Spares
The tactical Expressway Spares team gave the Tigers a run for their money in the final game of the season. Tim Myhill & Patrick Brown were under constant pressure in goals whilst the rest of the team: Chris Hamilton, Tate Hutchison, Jack Hyde, Roy Krebs, Tobias Marsham, Isaac Plunkett & Charley Terry worked tirelessly, with Tate scoring the Tigers' only goal. The last 15 minutes was dominated with injury- Charley Terry sustained a dislocated shoulder, an opponent & Roy down in tears. Although not a great way to end the season and a loss, by goal scores, the Tigers are to be congratulated on their effort, commitment & team spirit. An enjoyable BBQ @ Settlement Point followed with an informal soccer match by the girls/mums & team. Charley returned from Hospital in a sling to join his mates commendable for his bravery & commitment to his team!
