Under 16 - Grand final
Sharks 2 v Whales 1

Well the boys did it. A very close encounter with the final score at 1-1 and the match decided on the golden goal rule. Both of our goals resulted from well planned corners finished of by Dane. Well done boys.


24 & 25 August

Senior Men
Hammerheads 0 v Kawungan 0

A good match to finish the season with a full side and one to proove our record of no loses with 11 on the park.

Senior Ladies
Makos 0 v Kawungan Blues 6

Though we have a good repoire with our opposition, our aim was to limit goals scored against us. We acheived this with typical MAKO attitude and certainly gave them a game. Strong games from Cheryl, Janette, Michelle and Sally helped our cause and all the girls put in a mighty effort for the last game of the season. Hope I get offered the job next year to be a part of this team, THANKS LADIES.

Under 16
Sharks 4 v Bayside 3

This was not a game for coaches. 8 mins to go and Sharks down 3-0. All stops pulled out by the boys saw them score 3 goals in the next 5 mins to make it 3-3 full time. Golden goal extra time saw Bayside unfortunately score an own goal resulting from a corner and line clearance. Well fought boys. Goals to Dane 2 and Cameron 1.

Under 13
Sharks 0 v Strikers 1

This final went to extra time and golden goal. The boys had their chances at goal and were unfortunate not to convert them and didn't give the oppositon many chances at all, however the one chance that was given was accepted. Had luck guys with a great game and good season to all boys.

Under 10
Makos 2 v Tornadoes 0

Tough game but Makos teamwork is coming together with a great second half. Steve Becker had a great game in goal.

Under 9
Sharks 3 v Hammerheads 0

The Sharks played an all round excellent game giving us a 3-0 win over the Hammerheads. WELL DONE LADS !!! Goals scored by Alex 1 Maxwell 2. A great defence played by the M.O.M Matthew.

Under 6
Makos 3 V FCAC 0

Good game by both teams.Man of the match to Steven well done guys.



17 & 18 August

Senior Men
Hammerheads 0 v Sharks 0

A full side gave the Sharks a tough game . We were unlucky to score having the majority of play and unable to convert our chances.

Ladies
Makos 0 v Sharks 3

Tonight Girls i didnt need to tell you that you had improved and were getting better,when you walked off the field i could see on your faces that you were happy and so you should be. Come a long way in a short time, it was just a lack of finishing in front of goal that let us down and that will come. Strength confidence and much better marking had us in this game. It was unfortunate for a fellow clubmates to be missing players and then be one short due to a dismissal but it was a good learning experience for us and we benefited greatly with the space and time on ball. GO MAKOS one game left.

Under 16
Sharks 0 v Whales 1

An early goal had us fighting to the end with many chances going astray. Good marking and teamwork got us in the position to score however it didn't come. Strong games for all players.

Under 13
Sharks 3 v Orcas 0

The boys played one of their best games and kept the Orcas in their own half for the majority of the game with their marking and when in possession keeping it in their possession. Great game boys with the honours to all. Goals to R. Knox 2 and A. Devereaux 1.

Under 11
Sharks 1 v Whales 1

Knockout semi and we took the early lead only to see the hungry whales equalize halfway through the second half. The fulltime whistle saw us start again for 10 sach way and GOLDEN goal ruling. The boys running on fumes at this stage dug even deeper and the chances were scrambled away at both ends of the field. An eventual penalty shoot out was needed to find winner and we unfortunately missed a couple of ours. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WHALES and every player on the field deserves credit for this tremendous game. THANKS Sharks only asked for 100% and that is what i got, VERY PROUD OF YOU.

Under 8
Sharks 7 v Strikers 0

Sharks had another strong performance against Strikers who without some superb keeping could have been hammered on the scoresheet, Mitchell scored the goal of the season for the first of his double hat-trick.Was given plenty of opportunities to score with some excellent crosses from Greg. All the guys went well with Jacob scoring the other goal.

Under 7
Makos 7 v Sharks 0

A great game of soccer by both teams. Our goals were scored by Max Mclean(1), Ryan Murray(2) and James Bowers(4). The boys all passed the ball well and played together as a team. Sam Bean and Matthew Baumann played well in goals. Best for the day were Sam Bean and James Bowers. Well done team.


10 & 11 August

Senior Men
Hammerheads 0 v FCAC 8

Team loyalty and committment is a limited resource these days and with 6 regulars and 2 under 16's to make up the 8 made it difficult. At least we held them scoreless for the first 15 minutes. Imagine if we had 11 !! Every time we have had the full 11 we have not lost !

Senior Ladies
Makos 1 v FCAC 4

Having the full team to training on Tuesday night and then another 6 on Thursday underlines the attitude and spirit of these Ladies.There are winners in this team all over the park we just havnt been able to gain that victory we deserve, though we battled on in typical MAKO spirit and certainly had the lions share of the play particularly in the first half. Goals against were from break aways and the advantage of speed and youth. Julie thoroughly deserved her goal as she chased and fought for everything. Hope Chris has a nice holiday and see her at the breakup party.

Junior Girls
Sharks 0 v BS Storm 0

A very close game with shots at goal but not going in. Samantha Sherry again has proven herself as an excellent fullback, with Michelle Hall and Holly Gould working up front as a team.

Under 16
Sharks 3 v Whales 2

A very close game with Cameron again getting a hattrick. Whales were very unlucky not to have equalised atthe end. Solid performances by Ashley, Todd, Cameron and Ryan.

Under 13
Sharks 1 v BS Lightning 0

A close tough knockout semi game with the sharks securing a higher percentage of the possession and goal scoring opportunities. Converting these opportunities will improve our results. Matthew Cartright put away the goal from some good teamwork and a cutback from R. Knox (the easy goals boys). Great work.

Under 11
Sharks 1 v Hammerheads 1

Super games from Patrick, Chris, Jamie, Bowen and Tim, good goal with left foot and later in goals.

Under 10
Makos 3 v Hammerheads 1

It was a great game and the teamwork is really coming together. Brad, Tom and Oliver all scored a goal each and Steven kicked a beauty but unfortunately it was just inside the circle. Well done team.

Under 8
Sharks 4 v Whales 0

Once again a dominant Sharks outfit defeated their opposition with a well disciplined team effort, the boys are now gaining the confidence and skills to develop wonderful teamwork passes are going to feet and without some exceptional keeping in the first half from the opposition the score could have been much greater. Mitchell and Greg had half a game each in goals and the remainder of the guys stood up and played beyond their ages, with the loss of John O'Rourke to injury for the season the defence stood up and kept the opposition out with the usual non stop effort from Rory who I am sure has Red cordial for breakfast he is a ball of energy every week. Zach and Michael also had strong defensive games. Greg, Liam, Johnathon and Jacob were ruthless in attack and Mitchell had some blistering runs down the sideline and was everywhere in attack and defence.

Under 6
Makos 0 v Strikers 1

Great improvement by all the boys, fantastic goal keeping by Trent and Jack. Men of the match went to Nicholas and Anthony.



3 & 4 August

Senior Men
Hammerheads 3 v Bayside 1

A full team played as a team and reaped the rewards controlling the midfield and having a solid defence. Goals to Todd and 2 for Josh.

Senior Ladies
Makos 1 v Bayside 5

Another gutsy and improved effort by the girls. The scoreline was indicitve of their efforts. Gutsy little Catharina was injured in goals and Janette also injured was a fine replacement, Sorry to lose Chris after next week mighty game, Julie saw what Lizzy winges about and the mid girls once again shone but none more than Cheryl for her talking and leadership. Paula's hard work at penalty taking paid off and a special mention to the Referee who had a tremendous attitude towards women soccer. THANK YOU FROM THE TEAM.

Under 16
Sharks 4 v Bayside 2

The lack of talk and organised midfield saw us 2-0 down at the break which was rectified in the second half and managed 4 goals , 3 to Cameron and Todd with the other. Thanks to Robbie and Daniel to fill in from the U13's.

Under 13
Sharks 6 v Bayside Lightning 1

A good passing game with all the boys chipping in. Goals to R. Knox 2, M. Cartwright, T. Martin, N. Ryan and C. Dellit.

Under 11
Sharks 0 v Strikers 5

ROOSTERS ONE DAY, FEATHER DUSTERS THE NEXT. From where I sat players on both sides had the same amount of limbs, though you wouldn't beleive it wacthing the SHARKS. Why this team is our nemesis is beyond me. WE must STOP fighting amongst our selves and CONCENTRATE on the oppositoin .

Under 9
Makos 1 v Strikers 0

Great teamwork and good sportsmanship. Tom scored our only goal, but every player made a great contribution with Keegan taking out man of the match.

Under 6
Makos 3 v Sharks 1

Good game by all Jack and Sam scoring. Jake and Trent shared the bench, thank you to them. both teams seemed to be running out of energy toward the end of the game. Well done both teams on a great game.



27, 28 & 29 July

Senior Men
Sharks 2 v FCAC 1

A very close and physical game with us losing our captain Paul Cavanough early in the game. Our opening goal was scored by Allan Taylor with the winning goal coming from Derek Palmer.
Sharks 1 v Whales 2
This was the first time this season we have been beaten by the Whales. We welcome back Steven Hall, who with his first touch of the game scored the opening goal. A couple of lapses in defence cost us 2 goals and the game.

Senior Ladies
Makos 1 v Kawungan Reds 2

Whilst not a game for the purists, I was engrossed watching this game between two evenly matched sides, we took the lead halfway through the first half with a scrappy goal from Julie and put together some other raids with a much improved midfield with Sally and Gia combining well and some good thought going into our play. Several lapses of discipline eventually led to the dismissal of one our players and a later injury unsettled us considerably in the defencive line, we have just started to handle our respective positions so it was a big ask to play in unfamiliar positions. Though in typical MAKO style we did not give up and were unlucky to lose this match. A super effort by Catharina who was in goals for us and the rest of the team played far above themselves. We thank Kawungan for the great match.

Under 16
Sharks 1 v FCAC 3

With the amount of possession and shots we had we should have won. Good games for Cameron, Skinner, Ryan and Todd.

Under 13
Sharks 9 v Makos 2

The guys started passing again this game and showed in the result. Goals to Matthew C. 3, Robbie 2, and with Steven, Max H., Daniel and Nick one each.

Under 11
Sharks 6 v Lightning 0

WOW PASSING THINKING LOOKING HOLDING POSITIONS could this be my team? Yes excellent effort guys Patrick 1, Tim 2 and Jamie 3.The forwards combined well and the mids were strong Darcy, Bowen and Justin setting up play well. The score was nothing compared to the way the boys combined.

Under 10
Makos 5 v Cyclones 1

Good game by all the team. Well done on a great win.

Under 9
Makos 7 v Minkes 0
A great game - Tomas scoring 4 goals, Michael scoring 2 and Brad scoring 1, Derek played with Minkes to make up numbers and saved many a goal. Well done team.

Under 8
Hammerheads 0 v Whales 1

What a good game for the crowd both teams played well never giving up attacking. We just needed better direction towards the goal end well done team.
Makos 4 v Minkes 0
Great teamwork, lots of passing, player of the match went to Tyler Grahame .

Under 7
Sharks 3 v FCAC 0

Another good result with everybody contributing to the win. As each week progresses the team seems to be getting better and better. Goals scored by Billy Saunders, James Martin and Brendan Lye. Player of the match was Brendan Lye.

Under 6

Great game by all our players. Man of the match goes to Trent. Thank you to Jake for playing for the other team. Well done boys.


 

20 & 21 July

Senior Men
Hammerheads forfeit v Kawungan Whales

We could only manage 7 players for the game and decided to play with a full team and have a friendly game with a few ringins. With the side made up to 11 players thanks to the U16's, Sharks and the Whales we managed to win 2-0. Thanks all.

Ladies
Makos 0 v Kawungan Blues 4

This is one coach who needs to go on hols more often, for both his and the teams sake. Saw the same happy faces but it was coupled with confidence and a better understanding of a game that was NEW to so many of them. This is a great team to be involved with and we have our goals and they will be acheived on tonights formatch. Super games by Janette, in goals, Gia with good foresight, Tracie for never shutting up and Pammy for her tremendous team spirit. Tireless efforts by Lizzy, Michelle and Chris again. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS LADIES.

Under 16
Sharks 3 v Whales 0

This was a close game and the difference between the two sides was in defence and the middle where the Sharks had the edge. Goals to Brad, A. Skinner and Ben.

Under 13
Sharks 0 v Dolphins 5

We were outplayed on the day with our boys not securing the ball and giving it away too easily unlike previous weeks. Daniel K, both Matthews, Corey and Anthony had good games.
Makos 0 v Strikers 9
The Mako's battled hard throughout the game but were up against a very strong side. Don't give up Mako's we still have a lot to play for. Man of the Match Michael Fischer.

Under 7
Sharks 5 v Hammerheads 0

This was our best result ever for the season. All kids played really well and deserved to win the game. Goals scored by James Martin with 4 and Brendan Lye with 1. Our best players were James Martin and Mallory Batchelor.


 

13 & 14 July

Senior Men
Hammerheads 2 v Sharks 6

Another reasonable effort by the Hammerheads against the FA cup winners & playing yet again a couple short of the eleven. A slow start saw us down 5-0 at the half time break. The second half seemed to be played within 40 yds with both sides playing the offside trap but to our credit we won the second half. Thanks to Tim McLaughlin and Andrew Skinner who filled in for us from the U16's and had a good game in goal.

Ladies
Makos 2 v Sharks 4

We started wonderfully, but where was the coach? On holidays of course. Playing the Sharks is always a daunting task but we played well scoring our second and third goals of the season, well done ladies. Kristy and Julie attacked the ball well with Julie scoring both goals and the cartwheels were excellent thank you Tracy and Julie. Where was the coach? Still on holidays. A big thank you to David who helped with the team in Garys absence. Well done ladies!!!

Junior Girls
Sharks 2 v Bayside Storm 0

A very tight game with both sides playing well. Samantha Sherry played a very good defensive game at the back . In the last minutes of the second half Catharina Korhecz passed the ball to Angela Wilkins who broke free to score. Great team work by all. Well done girls.

Under 16
Sharks 3 v Strikers 2
A close game which seesawed all the way with the Sharks coming out on top at the end. A goal each to Wade and Cameron , and an own goal gave us the tally. Jay in goal ,Dane, James, Cameron, Todd and Andrew held the team together well . Goals Dane 2, Wade 1.

Under 13
Sharks 2 v Kawungan Orcas 1
A great game of soccer to watch with the Sharks maintaining a high percentage of possesion throughout the match. The boys started well and allowed the Orcas in first to an early goal and to their credit fought back to end up taking the match to a well deserved 2-1 win. All players got the man of the match this week for such a good allround team effort. Goals to N. Ryan and A. Devereaux.
Mako's 7 v Kawungan Whales 3
A Brilliant game played by all. Great passing and ball control displayed by the Mako's. Goals by Lindsay, Timothy, Dwayne and 4 goals scored by M.O.M Mark Wecker.

Under 11
Sharks 4 v Whales 0

Well the boys showed us that they can pass the ball and it showed in the final score. All the boys played well with Nick , Chris, Darcy shining out. Goals by Tim and 3 to Nick. Well done boys



7 July

Finals of the Favourite Pets Federation Cup

Senior Men
Sharks 3 v Whales 2

This was the final of the Favourite Pets Federation Cup. It took 114 minutes for the winner to be decided. This game was a close hard fought game, that sometimes got very physical when tempers flared. Our goals were scored by Allan Taylor, Dane Grabbe and the match winner by Josh Graham. This was a great team effort with everyone having a hand in the victory. A big thankyou to Jock of Jock's Paints and Qld Sporting Imports who are our sponsors.

Ladies
Sharks 2 v Kawungan Blues 0

A magnificent effort from a very committed Sharks team saw them overcome their nemises Kawungan Blues 2-0 in the ladies F.A. Cup Final.
Goals by Tiffany Irving and Yasmin Carlos in the first 15 minutes were enough to do the job for the Sharks. Well led in the midfield by captain Julie O'Donnell and with very solid defense marshalled well by Trina Friel , the Sharks repulsed all Kawungan attacks.
Bee Darby and Kristel Hawes added attacking flair down the flanks and with Vicki Hogan hustling hard, the blues defense was always extended. Josie McDuff, Pam Kitson, Sharnie Miles and Kellie Vial were exceptional in defence with goalkeeper Renee Irving and Corrin Miles saving some solid shots and very good posionl play.
Special mention to Helen Hatchett, who played an integral part in getting the team to the finals and who is now in retirement expecting her first child. Well done Helen.
Thanks also goes to new sponsors Bradnams and Hervey Bay Door & Kitchen Centre who have their first major trophy to adorn their businesses.


 

22 & 23 June

Senior Men
Hammerheads 2 v FCAC 3

We managed to scramble 10 players for the game. A slow start saw us 3-1 down at half time trying to counter the extra man, then in the second half after a few positional changes we managed to get on top and couldn't quite put away the chances. Well done guys, note that training changed to Tuesdays 6-30 and starts up after the school holidays.

Ladies
Makos 1 v FCAC 3

For the fist time this season, we have been competive enough to question certain
judgements and bounces of the ball. This developed into a fiercely contested game which brought forward a competive attitude previously untapped as is our
way the best soccer was played in the second half. Laxxy was tireless along
with Michelle, Sally featured thoughout the game capping it off with a sharply
taken goal. We wish to dedicate this loss to our long-suffering goalkeeper
Susy sadly leaving the team.THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK

Under 16
Sharks 1 v FCAC 3

A tough encounter for the 9 regular players and one 13 yo playing up found it difficult to contain FCAC in the first half. The second half was promising with Jay going into midfield controlling the play. Strong games from Ryan and Todd in defence.

Junior Girls
Sharks 0 v Kawungan Hotshots 5

Another exciting game from shaeks with excellent teamwork up front with Michelle Hall having 2 brilliant attempts at goal. Strong defence in the backs and midfield with some effective passes.

Under 13
Sharks 8 v Whales 1

What a difference passing makes! The boys took some of our training into the first half and started like a train being 5 up within 15 mins and scoring 3 more with the half time score being 8-0. Then we forgot our training and first half and decided to go back to our old ways and struggled allowing one in and not scoring any more. Goal scorers N. Ryan 5, A. Devereaux, C. Dellit and S. Knox. Good games from everyone on the park with M. McLaughlan and A. Devereaux standing out.

Under 11
Sharks 2 v Hammerheads 3

This intraclub clash was a non-event as both teams decided to share the halfs of football and see what came out at the end. Sharks were lacking in enthusiasm and the Hammerheads were in second gear after the break leading by 3 the final result was fair and bring on the holidays YEHAHAHA Welcome back Zac.

Under 10
Sharks 3 v Whales 2

Great game working as a team no weak links Good on ya guys!!

Under 9
Makos 1 v Orcas 2

A very tight game and both teams played a good defensive game. Derek scored Makos only goal and Michael Sherry saved some great attempts.

Under 7
Sharks 1 v Minkes 3

After starting the game slowly, and being 3 nil down at halftime, we came out in the second half a more determined side and played the best we have all season, considering we were short of players. Our best players were Brooke Palmer and Billy Saunders.

Under 6
Makos 0 v FCAC 3

Excellent goal keeping by Trent another good team effort and Men of the Match to both Sam and Steven.


 

15 & 16 June

Ladies
Makos 1 v Strikers 10

It would appear that the late game was not to our liking, a great turnup with 3 subs but we seemed to be ready to go to bed, till the halftime break gave us a wake-up we came out with a bit more urgency and Julie scrambled home a goal.

Under 13
Sharks 0 v Strikers 1

Quite an entertaining and very close game with the strikers managing the only goal of the match. Maxim in goal, Anthony were our best with a welcome to Corie , who had a good first up game.

Under 11
Sharks 1 v Strikers 3

Was very proud of boys today, once again bare minimum, though we lifted our game considerably. Playing this top team seems to daunt us somehow till we scored in the 2nd half and realised they have the same amount of appendages as us and CAN BE BEATEN boys. Created several chances and the goals scored against us were only due to complacency and lack of marking.Chris and Bowan stuck to their tasks well and had strong and influential games, Nicholas and Patrick were great in goals and Tim took a very nice goal after good leadup work from Nicholas. Matt was safe at the back along with Darcy and Justin.

Under 8
Sharks 6 v Tigersharks 0

Sorry it has taken so many weeks for a report on the u8 Sharks i guess I was waiting for someone else to write it, Mark Broome's team continued their undefeated run this season with a 6-0 defeat of Tigersharks, A first half hat -trick to Greg Knox who took on the main strike role with Mitchell away, the team as a whole played very well with everyone taking part in the goals some excellent passing skills from Michael ,Jake and Jonathan led to the first scoring opportunities backed up by some great defensive work as we have come to expect from Rory, Zach and John O'Rourke. With the team firing in front of him Liam was left to freeze in the goal with very little to do.
In the second half Greg took on the role of goalie and the team continued their attacking raids on goal which resulted in three more goals two to John O'Rourke and one to Jonathan. To their credit the Tigersharks never stopped trying and they were aided greatly by some strong saves from their two keepers one in either half who kept the Shark attack to only six. A great team effort today with an impossible decision to single any one player as best on ground .
Mark is back next week I am glad that I kept the unbeaten run going in his absence.



1 & 2 June

Senior Men
Hammerheads 1 v Bushrangers 5

With new players in the team we were unorganised and this was taken advantage of by the Bushrangers constantly threatening at goal. The half time break gave us a chance to reorganise and sure up defence. With regulars returning to the team will steady the line-up and produce some results after the long weekend.

Senior Ladies
Makos 0 v Kawungan 1

A solid base of players now, and it is starting to show. Glimpses of developing TEAM SPIRIT whilst having fun, welcome Christie to our HAPPY team. A bit of pace up front, some resemblance of midfield and enthusiasm went a long way tonight. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS no Janelle didn't score, stay tuned though.

Junior Girls
Sharks 1 v FCAC 0

Sharks taped into their reserve of talent and won. Great teamwork by Tamara Hughes scoring the only goal which was setup by Angela Wilkins(captain). Chantelle Wilkins in goal made some excellent saves.

Under 13
Makos 2 v Lightning 4

A good all round performance, a little on the hesitant side during the 1st half but came out fighting in the 2nd, we were definately unlucky to lose this one. Both goals by Timothy Rae and M.O.M Rhys Duce debut game in goal,thanks for stepping in Rhys, You did a top job !!
Sharks 4 v FCAC 0
The team fell back to kick and chase in the first half and still managed 2 goals then reverted to a passing game which improved the game for the spectators and added another 2 goals. Nick Ryan and Robbie Knox both got 2 each and the teams man of the match went to Anthony Devereax.

Under 11
Sharks 2 v Lightning 0

A typical gritty game by the boys, though lacking in defence, structure and positioning. They certainly give their all, great attacking by Tim again scoring one and setting up the other. He deserved his award for the month along with Jake who did some talking prior to the game and backed it up well. Justin, Chris and Nichlas(1 goal) had strong games .

Under 8
Tigersharks 2 v Strikers 1

As the first win for the year it was a good one we had a lot of opportunities but only two made the back of the net. Well done to the new player Trent Scheuer and the goal scorer Bradley Marshall.
Hammerheads 2 v Sharks 4
Geoffrey Fahey man of the match.
Makos 3 v Tornadoes 2
Great team effort including the ring ins Aaron was outstanking by scoring all our goals and Jordie was awarded man of the match.

Under 7
Makos 4 v FCAC 1

Another great game. The boys are playing well as a team, passing the ball and talking to each other. It gets harder each week to pick the best players as the boys are all playing so well. Goals were scored by James Bowers, Ryan Murray, Daniel Read and Max McLean. Players of the day were Max McLean and Stuart Sutherland. Well done team.

Under 6
Makos 2 v Strikers 2

Good team effort, Great game by the boys who had no training last week. They remembered some training drills and kept the strikers goal rate down. Jack passed the ball to allow Steven to score well done boys a great team effort by all with Anthony man of the match.


25 & 26 May

Senior Mens
Bushrangers 0 v FCAC 1

The Bushrangers started well with some good skillful play but failed to take the goal scoring opportunities when they arrived. The College kicked off with ten men but as the game progressed they seemed to have had twelve or thirteen on the field as the Bushrangers failed to man up.
The passing game that was spoken about before the kick-off was a distant memory after the first 15 mins as we played for the remainder of the game was as individuals who over used the ball trying to do too much on our own instead of playing like we have in the past.
The result was a fair one in my eyes as we didn't play as well as we could have and the college deserved the win. The college goal was 10 mins from the end with a penalty.
The simple fact is Bushrangers if we don't score we will not win and we can't blame anything or one else.
Jason Livingstone stood in as keeper this week & had a great game. Don, Ross and Micky did a great job to keep the college forwards from scoring.
I was told the game was a great game to watch, I was disappointed with the Bushrangers but it was good to play in fast and hard with end to end action.
If the Bushrangers hope to play well, then they must learn to play as a team not as individuals. Not one player in the squad is any more important or valuable to have on the field. One, two or three players don't make a team, eleven players make the team. The Bushrangers was formed as a team of blokes wanting to enjoy the game as a team not a group of self-praising individuals. Until we come to terms with that we better get used to this weeks scoreline.
Report by
David Marshall

Hammerheads 0 v Whales 3
After starting the game with a man down we rallied to finish the first half being 1 down from a penalty. After half time we lost another player and yet another through injury 25 mins into the second half, as well as Manly soldiering on with a torn thigh muscle and his steading influence, solid defence and intellegent play to help to keep the score down to only 3. All in all there was some great soccer being played from the whole team.

Senior Ladies
Makos 0 v Kawungan Reds 6

The Girls were certainly under pressure but battled mightily holding the opposition out well and showing a lot more confidence on the ball. Everyone played above themselves, though must mention new player Cheryl, Morag, Tracie and Paula and...No need to ask who the leading goalscorer for our team is though , if you want to be a forward just ask ok Janelle.

Under 13
Sharks 1 v Lightening 1

Our usual solid control passing game was missing in this game until 5 minutes from the final whistle, instead we were panicking against a good scrambling defence. Max Hatton scored our goal through a good passage of play.

Under 11
Hammerheads 4 v Kawungan Whales 0

The Hammerheads are a much improved team from last year, this season to date they have only lost one game. After leading 1-0 at half time they produced some good football in the second half to run out 4-0 winners against a determined Kawungan side. Goals - Elliot 2, Mark & Brayden 1 each. Great team effort guys! Special mention to Jayde and Tom at the back, Elliot, Brayden and Martin in midfield and Mark up front.

Under 10
Sharks 1 v Whales 0

Both teams showed improvement in their skills and endurance. The Sharks coach is happy with his teams progress. There were many excellent plays, passes and runs up the field by all members of the team. Special recommendation goes to Tim Shaw for scoring the lone goal and at the same time showing his team play on defense. Ben Hindmarsh showed he listens to the coach in practise by giving an opponent the sidelines to run up and cutting off the every dangerous middle. Arian Dubroy is also to be commended for his strong defense. Player of the match is Callan who played well in net and when playing on the forward line showed some very good strategic moves and set a number of players up for shots toward goal.

Under 9
Sharks 4 v Strikers 0

Great game boys, the team are playing well and keeping position well. Goals by Joshua A, Maxwell 2 and Alex. Strikers goalie had a few good saves and they played good defence.

Under 8
Tigersharks 0 v Hammerheads 0

The under 8s played to the best of their ability and once more our goal keeper Dwayn McInnes had a great game. Phillip Dearness was the player of the match.

Under 7
Hammerheads 0 v FCAC 1

Good game on both sides.

Under 6
Makos 3 v Sharks 1

Both teams did well all game with the Makos playing their best game yet. Nicholas hard work was rewarded as player of the match. Well done under 6s.


 

18 & 19 May

Senior Mens
Sharks 3 v Hammerheads 3

Sharks - After a very poor 1st half and being 2-1 down at half time, we came out and played much better in the 2nd half and came back from 3-1 down to level the scores at 3 all in the end. Goal scorers where J.Lewis, P.Cavanough and S.Hall.
Hammerheads - With the mixture of the old and the young we played some pretty good football with a couple of lapses which resulted in goals against. Well played guys . Goals to Josh 2 and Mark 1.
SS Bushrangers 10 v Bayside Strikers 0
The Bushrangers had a wake-up call for the first 30 mins of the first half, where the Strikers pressure was enough to make us play outside our normal game. The Strikers could have scored two goals in the first 30 mins and that sparked the Bushrangers back to life coming off with 4 goals in the remaining 15 mins of the half.
The second half started as the first finished with another 6 goals and some very entertaining soccer. Bushrangers goals were from Fernando 4, Bobby 3 Ross, Joe & Drew 1 each.
I must congratulate the young Strikers team, they kept on battling away and never gave up at any stage of the game.It will come stick in.
Saturday 26th May at 4.45 The Bushrangers plays FCAC in a replay of last years Grand Final. Please come down and support both The Bay's strongest club Sandy Straits and the HBUSC. The Bushrangers would like to thank everyone who contributed to the $30.00 raised for Young Gun Joe Longworth.

Makos 0 v Sharks ?

This "never give up team" asked the coach after the match if they were getting better and of course they were because they had scored 2 own goals tonight hahaha GO GIA and JANELLE. Good games from Janette and Chris and thanks to Tamara for helping us out and had a great game. Good game by the Sharks I think they got 8 or 10.

Junior Girls
Sharks 0 v Hotshots 6

Sharks played an exciting game with skill to spare under the captainship of Chelsea Kilbride. Catharina Korhecz and Tamara Hughes played well up front. A special mention must go to Samantha Sherry who played a very good key defensive game to keep the score low. Yasmin Horsburgh as goalkeeper made some excellent saves.

Hammerheads 1 v FCAC 2.
A very close match with us loosing a player early to a red card. The team is starting to mesh well and with some successfull finishing will be a force. Our goal resulted from a penalty from constant pressure, put away by Darron and got another later on which was saved by the keeper.

Senior Ladies

Sharks 1 v Hammerheads 1

It is no secret that our training sessions are a disaster, though it seems playing our fellow clubmates brought the best out of us. After conceding a goal early in the first half the guys battled back well to create several chances, a nice goal from Patrick was the equalizer and Darcy, Jake and Bowan had strong games with Jamie improving in the mid-field.

Sharks 4 v BS Cyclones 2

The Sharks are a team of aspiring stars. Each team member is improving with each game. We had greats efforts from every player. Our scoring leader is of course of center forward Tim Hindmarsh who placed three smart goals behind the keeper.Aiden Betts scored our other goal after hard work up front.
Makos 2 v Whales 1
A good strong game fought hard by both teams.Makos looked to have gone to sleep in the 1st half going into the break 1-0 down but two quick goals scored early in the second half by Samir Bektas seemed to rouse the boy's and they all fired well till the end to win 2-0.Great game all over the field was had by Kyle Grima. Man of the match awards went to Trent Searle for great assist and to Murry McInnes for great defence.Well done to all the boys. Terry.

It was a sad day for the boys who said goodbye to their only "Girlpower" teammate Ashley who is moving to Alice Springs. Good luck Ashley. Keep up the good work . Well done team.

Senior Mens
SS Bushrangers 4 v Kawungan 1

Just Not Cricket !
For the crowd that turned up to see the Team that was touted to be the pre-season favourites may have wished they where watching cricket.
For once again as in past years the Bushrangers dictated play and commanded the ball for all of the first 45 mins. Goals from Fernando, Rob, Bobby and Joe allowed the Bushrangers to go in at half time 4-0 up.
Evan though the older players of the Bushrangers only had one player on the bench they still managed to play the better football for 35 mins of the second half.
The Bushrangers slackened off and allowed the Whales into the game but only just managed to pierce the solid defence once with a soft goal but a much deserved goal as a consolation for at least trying.
The Bushrangers would like to invite all Sandy Straits Players, members, friends, to the Hervey Bay Utd Soccer Club on Saturday 12th May for the English F.A. Cup Final, K/Off at 11.00pm to help raise money for the over 35's Soccer.

Hammerheads 3 v Bayside 0
Another game of "get to know you" but with more understanding than last week. We started with both teams down 2 players and as players turned up we had the numbers advantage and combined to score the 3. Goal scorers Josh 2 and Gary with the other.

Senior Women
Mako's 0 v Strikers 6

A goal in the first 30 secs did not help us settle down real well, but the girls battled well and were undaunted by their more experienced opponents and at times showing glimpses of form to come. Pam would have to be the most improved at the moment and again tireless efforts by Lizzy and Michelle, Julie has to remember when she is playing Rugby and when she is not and it was good that Janelle had lost her voice and was not able to give me any lip. The team wants to thank the Junior girls who helped us out . Holly, Tamara and Catharina You can play with us any time.

Sharks 1 v Orcas 4

The team was let down by a couple of "no shows" and took the field with 9 boys and help from u11 player Elliot who played and extremely good game and meshed with the team. We held to 1-1 at half time but the boys tired in the heat and eventually surcomed. The team goal scored by Robbie after good leadup by Nick. A super effort from all the boys and wish the 3 lads who were sitting for the FCAC scholarship exams have success.

What can I say, no subs, two injured players. The Mako's ran their little hearts out . Well done. Man of the match Akin Alagoz, excellent goalkeeping

Sharks 0 v Strikers 4

A much improved positional game by the sharks, though we are still searching for the right combination. Whilst we were 2 down at halftime, it was our best half of the game and the boys fought well being one short again. We created several chances and were just unlucky not to capitolise on them. The second half was very scrappy with the wheels falling off due to some poor positional changes. Super efforts from Matthew at the back and Chris didnt give up all game THANKS GUYS

Very hard and physical encounter. We were lucky to go to half time with the score being nil all. Midway through the second half, a good cross from Josh Graham took a deflection off a whales opponent to give us a 1 nil lead. Fortunately, we were able to defend and hold onto this score line. Big games from P.Darlison and P.Cavanough.
Mako's 0 v S.S. Bushrangers 4
A good result for the Mako's considering the team was pu together in a couple of days. The first half was basically a get to know for most as well as having a good share of the ball . We kept the Bushrangers to 0-0 in the second half.

Senior Ladies
Mako's 1 v Kawungan Reds 1

This was a tremendously competitive game as the standard of both teams had risen considerably since our last meeting .It was a delight to have a full team tonight and the team benefited greatly ,the girls ,though new to the game held their positions well and put into practise some new found skills.We also did something new tonight and that was attack with our inexperienced forward line showing heaps of potential.Though 1 down at halftime the girls pressure paid off with the equalizer coming with 10 mins to go.Strong games from all and sundry and i think they even surprised themselves .

A good game with a slow start by our boys who just could not find the back of the net in the first half with half time score of 0-0. Second half the simple approach was made and 4 goals resulted with still a few more gone begging. Man of the match went to Paul Josephson . Goals to Nick Ryan(3) and Robert Knox(1).
Mako's 1 v FCAC 2
An excellent game played by both teams. After the Makos going 2-0 behind early in the second half, the Makos played well and pulled a goal back and were unlucky to share the points. Goal scored by James Stroud. Player of the match , Holly Gould.

This was a scrappy game at times and our poor positional play and little to no teamwork gave the opponents plenty of leeway and lots of chances that they fortunately failed to capitalise on.A very nicely taken goal by Tim Korhecz secured the win.

Mako's - A great first game effort with a top goal by Tomas.
Shark's - For our first game of the season this was a great game to watch. Both teams were well matched and the Makos slipped on into the corner of the goal in the first half. If all our games are this good the kids should have a very competitive season ahead of them. Great game by both teams and welcome to all the new players this year.

Though lacking in numbers, we did not lack enthusiasm and never stopped trying. Makings of a good team, Girls. Playing our strong fellow clubmates did not deter us as we were keen to get the match experience and it will be to our benefit. We thank the sharks for the spirit in which it was played and look forward to the next match. Mention must be made of our goalkeeper Susie who was tremendous, better than at training hahah and also a lovely goal by Gia.

Yet another fine performance by the Mako's being 2-0 down in the fist half then 3-0 at the beginning of the second, My boys didn't lose heart, pulling back 2 goals, scored by Lindsay Atkins then in the final 5 minutes a superb equalizing goal scored by Dwayne Ferguson a truly wonderful effort and entertainig game shown by the Mako's.

This match was a great deal closer than the score shows although the score does show the difference between the two teams ability to play as a team. Again, it was extremely difficult to seperate any one from the pack with everyone putting in their contribution to the team effort. Scorers were Robbie Knox (2) and Matthew Cartwright. Keep up the good work boys, training as normal.

Whilst unclimatic weather enabled us to train we were still outclassed by strong opposition. Several injuries didn't help but we are young (experience whys ) and have heart, last 20 mins the best for us. Maybe the Whales got sick of scoring HAHAHAH Look forward to next week Ladies. There is only one way for us and that is up and we will get there maybe quicker than you think .

First game of the season, poor attitude at training and pointed it out to boys .Maybe somewhat harsh,for their attitude on game day was great . I thought we were 3 down others said 2, but we were short all game with several injuries and hiccups and still i think had the best of the game . Thanks guys i guess this game tells us what we both expect . see you Friday .

The result doesn't paint the true picture, despite the score, the Mako's defence played a solid game, the whole team played an absolute blinder and I am proud of them all.

Shark's 5 v FCAC 1
A good effort to start the season with. The boys started showing some great teamwork yet again this year. We have a few new players who all blended into the team well. We started on the wrong foot going 1 down early which jolted the boys into action. Good performances all round with goals to Robert Knox(3), Steven Knox(1) and Matthew Cartwright(1).

Imagine if you can being a parent and getting hit over the head with a sign-up book by our two more recognisable characters Janelle and Lynda ,what do you do ? Well if you know what is good for you ,you just say yeah ill give it a go .So that is how the Makos came to be born, 8 or 9 people who dont even know how to spell Soccer have come together to form a team .I was only joking about the spelling hashah .But seriously ,two training sessions and a quick session on the rules and of cause saying Girls we are going that way and away, we went.Add to that the enlistment of coaches, one who has enough and has done HEAPS that he would be excused from having the energy and the other who,s only claim to fame is coaching the u8s Sportsfront Winners and played to the level of u13 C2 team at Rochedale Rovers.
WOW imagine what are their chances ???????????
