A-grade players elected to have one match of girls versus boys.
The girls’ team got off to a very good start with some attacking play and a couple of shots, but they were not able to find the back of the net.
At half-time, the game was in the balance at 2-nil in favour of the boys.
The boys consolidated their win with four second-half goals to end up 6-nil.
Boys 6 def Girls 0. Best – Oscar Thompson, Lydia Hornung. Sportsman – William Steenholdt, Elka Connolly.
A-Reserve:
In a must-win round for both Mariners and Heart, Mariners weren’t off to a good start.
United held off attacks thanks to Ahmed Labib and managing to score three goals before half-time.
The match looked sealed, with Ahmed again combining with the Hanns brothers to be an impenetrable wall.
A late flurry of goals opened the gates though, and the Mariners were able to just sneak the win in the dying moments of the game.
Unfortunately for Heart their game was not as successful against Victory.
Mariners 4 def United 3. Best – Darcy Nilsson, Lenny Hanns. Sportsman – Ollie Dellwo, Travis Hanns.
Victory 2 def Heart 0. Best – Mitchell Thompson, Hayden. Sportsman – Oliver Water, Jasper Dellwo.
