North Beach Soccer Club
First team Vs Gwelup
North Beach 4 Gwelup 2
Scorer Gus 3. Chris Lavin 1
Fantastic game with North Beach scoring 3 first half goals and all but sealing the game by half time. Gus had a storming game and deserved his hat trick of goals.
The second half was a much more even affair with Gwelup managing to pull back 2 late goals. This was after Neil perkins was sent from the field in a very dubious refereeing decision. I am sure that if you are willing to buy Neil a beer in the clubrooms he will give you the full breakdown of his red card.
The team is now showing real commitment in their play and are scoring goals which is leading to the results that we have known they deserved all year. Although not certain it appears that relegation threat can be left behind and the team can focus on winning the remainder of their games.
Reserves Vs gwelup
North Beach scorers Potty 2, merlin 1
The reserves team continued to play fantastic football. After lasts weeks heroic effort the coach rewarded those players with a guaranteed start in this weeks game. Too this was added the u18 keeper Kenny and the U18 striker Potty. This meant that for the first time in many weeks we had a really strong bench if required.
The first half was a very tough affair with both teams having opportunities but not able to get the ball in the net. North beach were happy to be going to the half time break without conceding a goal.
The team came out with potty taking the field in place of an injured Adam. this paid off on the 20 minute mark when he beat the defence with his speed and scored. 5 minutes later he repeated the move to get his second. At two nil up the pressure came off a little until Gwelup scored a goal to bring the score back to 2 1 to North beach.
A fantastic reflex save by Kenny was probably the final nail in Gwelup's coffin as they seemed to drop their heads after it. North Beach then sealed the game with a third goal from Merlin who headed a lovely cross from Potty.
It came to my attention just how young the team was when after the game the president told me to shout the boys a drink due to the way they had played. I went in to the changing room with 14 beers but had to take 6 back and swap for cokes...
Great effort guys and with 4 players still to come back the rest of the season is looking good.
