Somerset Spartans Football Update

The Football Gold Coast Aldi Miniroos competition played Round 4 last weekend. Read on for a few match reports.

Under 7 Blue

What a brilliant match against Talley Valley, ending in a draw.

The team started off with some big kicks by Hamish and Liam. Hamish's early score giving the team a good start. Abhiveer scored the second goal showing some amazing footwork and great passing by Emily. Mayuko was brilliant with her defence and did not let go off the ball.

The team played a cohesive match passing well to all players.

Well done Under 7 Blues.

Under 7 Orange

Under 7 Orange were outshined; an exceptionally talented Broadbeach United taking the win.

The boys put in an impressive effort, never relenting and managed to scrape in a desperate goal by Hunter. The score followed the team effort’s scramble in the opposition’s domain heading into the end of the game.

The final score was 10 to 1 to Broadbeach; a gap that would have been much wider without the Under 7s defending. Kai shined on the day, throwing himself into the line of fire and saving many goals. Score aside, the boys had a fun time in Broadbeach and we look forward to the next match against Merrimac FC.

Under 8 White

The Whites played at Coplicks Family park verse Tally Valley in this round, under the guidance of Coach Ryan. Despite playing well, unfortunately luck was not on our side and Tally Valley took the win with a few late goals.

Under 8 Green

A good team performance from the Under 8 Green saw them finish with a 10 to 1 win against a well organised Magic United team.

Edward opened the scoring with an early goal before Ollie and Max scored two goals each to finish the half up, 5 nil. The Spartans continued to play and pass well in the second half and Ollie continued finishing off moves with more goals.

Persistence from Magic's girls saw a well deserved score after a couple of fine saves from Knox, helping in goal. Jacob saw his shot go wide before Will was rewarded for his efforts on field with a goal of his own.

A great team performance. Ollie earning Player of the Match with six goals! Well done Under 8 Greens.

Under 8 Blue

This week the Under 8 Blue team was the only team playing at Somerset. They played Tweed United Red again, having only played them two weeks ago.

The side had a great game. By half time Somerset was in the lead 4 to 1. Rollin into the second half of the game Coach Maarten got louder, making the opposing team's coach louder and suddenly there was a real battle.

Both teams scored again, and Tweed United stepped up a notch with another two goals, making three in a row for the opposition. The score then 5 to 4.

The opposing team was hungry for a win but in an edge-of-your-seat climax, the buzzer went off and Somerset U8s won the game 6 to 4.

Under 10

Under 10 played well against tough competition by Robina. There was great defence on both sides in the nail-biting experience for all the parents.

The 1 nil result came in Robina's advantage. Congratulations to Ashton who took out, Player of the Match.
