Week 1 vs Old Brighton Seniors As expected, the first game of the season turned out to be a scrappy affair. At times Old Brighton had 8 players behind the ball hoping to catch us on the counter-attack. Our game plan was non-existent in the first half which meant we had all our midfielders out of the game. A penalty awarded for a handball in the area presented us with the first opportunity to go 1-0 up, which was confidently converted by Ted.The second half started much better with our midfielders getting on top early and from there on, it was smooth sailing. Thierry finished his first competitive game with the Sparrows team with a hat-trick, along with a dislocated shoulder and a concussion. The defence, led by Mick, J.R and Hugo were solid and some fantastic efforts by the above-mentioned ensured we finished the first game of the year with a clean sheet and a 4-0 win.

Week 2 vs Dandenong White Star Seniors A good performance by the Sparrows team turning a "danger" game into a comfortable win. A fantastic individual effort in the fifth minute by Damien gave us a 1-0 lead. By half time on the back of a fantastic goal scored by Hugo, and with goals to Schuie and Ted, The Sparrows team had a 4-0 lead.The second half saw another dominating performance in which we scored another 5 goals, with Schuie scoring a further 4 goals including a fantastic header from a corner and Ted converting a penalty for his second penalty and third goal of the year.4 of the goals scored are definite early contenders for Goal of the Year.A good all-round team performance finished with Sparrows winning 9-0 and a second consecutive clean sheet.The next game at home against Berwick Kings looms as a danger game, the Sparrows team are looking forward to the challenge. Noticeable absentees Jason and Brent will both be available for selection. Reserves No Report submitted |
