THIS week’s Tea Gardens Soccer Club Results.
Thursday afternoon training was unfortunately cancelled due to rain on the day.
Saturday morning was an absolute blast thanks to another Alissa Barker (TGSC 2025 Secretary) initiative.
We held friendly games for our players and then Alissa surprised everyone with parents and children’s games played across all age groups.
To top off a great fun morning, Alissa brought out three huge light weight blow up soccer balls and the fun games started all over again!
The parents got involved throughout the mornings’ activities on the fields, at many stages creating mayhem and comedy during every game!
There were a few competitive mums and dads who “strutted their stuff” in the Midis grade combined players and parents’ games, namely Brendan Brookehouse, Rob Ridgeway, Ben Johnstone and Josh McCartney.
Thank you and well-done boys, but how did you pull up on Sunday morning?
The juniors grade gave some super Mums, Nicole Jacobson, Lauren Thompson, Meg Delaney, Meg Keeble and Elizabeth Gibson the opportunity to revisit earlier days with some crowd-pleasing fancy footwork and super mum soccer skills unseen until today.
No doubt there would have been a few sore legs and backs on Sunday morning, I guess.
A special mention to dad, Pete Howard for a goal to rival anything we have ever seen.
I’ve heard confidentially that he may be headhunted by any forward thinking A League team needing a striker.
Well done Pete, and thanks for being there very early every Saturday game day morning to set out the fields for us.
After the fabulous day that we all experienced and enjoyed, the Walking Football players took to the oval.
We had a record number of attendees turn up for our second last game day of the winter season, all of whom have voted to commence a “Summer Twilight Season” to kick off early October.
Stay tuned!
We had a very enjoyable game on a larger pitch, to cater for the larger number of players, that allowed us all to stretch it out a bit, having more room to grow our ever-improving skills and laughter levels.
Well done players, and welcome to our two newbies, Roger and Kaarin.
Next week is the TGSC presentation day, commencing at 9am.
Please drop in to support your local club of 35 years and all of its kids, parents, grandparents and onlookers.
You can even get a bacon and egg/sausage sandwich and a hot cuppa from our canteen!
What more can you ask for on a sunny Saturday morning in Tea Gardens?
See you there.
