Last Saturday saw brilliant conditions at Lighthouse Oval for the third game of the season for the Primary girls and the first day for the MiniRoos. How great it is to see so many playing for the club. It is a record season and a credit to all!

Twenty-six players made up the Reds and Blues and the girls entertained their crowd of supporters who we are so pleased to have this season after 2020's difficulties.

Each team of seven played a forward line, a back line and a goalie and the first match saw both teams passing well and demonstrating improved positional play. At the change over of teams, the younger girls eagerly took up their spots and referee Finn Louth blew the whistle for the second game. Those playing forwards were consistent in attack while defenders were definitely more confident than in previous games.

Another changeover and it was evident the Reds were in more control with them scoring not once but twice, putting them in the lead 2-0. With the next games, the Blues valiantly played on, having some shots but no luck. Finally, with just a few minutes left, success came and the Blues equalised the score right on the whistle. Cheers all round with a 2 all draw and proof that 'We should never give up!'

The girls gathered for their '2021 - Girls' soccer is fun, fun, fun!' and cheers for the referee. Thanks Finn and thanks also to those who get the fields ready each week.

Red team were Zoe, Olive T, Laila, Olive L, Indy, Josette, Bella, Lena, Aurelia, Amelia, Aanya, Mattilda, Iluka and Olivia.

Blue team were Ivy, Grace, Kate, Pearl P, Pearl PD, Elouera, Chelsea, Shye, Georgie, Milla, Charli and Lorelai.

All girls are commended on their enthusiastic approach to play.

Remember training is on Friday 4:00 - 5:00 for those who can make it. Club person Luke will be there. There is no training if it is raining. Please be at the field by 8:15 Saturday morning so team shirts can be organised.

Saying for the week: Go after your goals!

This week's Blast from the past - 'What year was that?'
