WEDNESDAY afternoon blessed us with a gentle breeze, sunny weather with lots of shade thanks to the row of large pines that were being feasted on by some noisy black cockatoos.
A nice roll up provided enough players for a seven a side match with one or two subs on the sideline and a couple of on-lookers joining us for a great afternoon of sport, exercise, social connection and lots of laughs.
The two 15-minute halves turned out once again to be
“not enough” so, after a well needed 5-minute rest and chance for quite a few sips of cold water, a further 15-minute extra play session was requested and enjoyed by all on the field and the sideline too.
There was some conjecture as to the exact tally that made up the end score, however the thing that we all took off the field and was mentioned by several of our players, that this game was an outstanding display of gained skills, passing and teamwork that we have all seen to date! Well done everyone, it was a joy to watch and be a part of.
Our regular after-game “sit & chat” was a ripper!
Everyone came off the field pretty pumped and eager to share some stories and relax amongst friends.
Thankyou Lorraine for volunteering to do the laundry this week and Gary and Vicky for taking and sending through the fabulous action shots.
Gary and Vicky, who have been with us since our very first game, are moving down to the central coast and next week will be their last regular game with us. We will miss them terribly and wish them all the best in the next chapter of their story. Open invitation to all players, feel free to drop in Wednesday afternoon to help make their last day special and say hooroo.
Our Registration Assistance & Open day on Saturday morning was well attended with mums, dads, prospective junior soccer players and walking football players alike. The regos’ were flowing freely thanks to our TGSC secretary Alissa and treasurer Kate with their laptops running hot as was the BBQ with free sausage sandwiches a big hit for everyone there.
Our winter season will commence 2nd May. Junior soccer games from 9-11 then Walking Football game(s) from 11am.
