YOUNG players went on a goal-scoring spree at the Noosa Eagles/Good Shepherd Fields for the Noosa Eagles Soccer Club’s final home games of the year.
Noosa White under-6 team played Caloundra Red, but went down 6-2 in a high-scoring game – with the team’s newest player D.J. Tantayakorn proving tenacious and his refined ball skills gave him several great shots at goal.
Charlee Benton was fearless in tackling the opposition and she took out the coach’s trophy for the week.
Speedy Adler Lenitschek was again great in defence and he took out the sport award. Charlee Owen and Eli Robinson were our two goal scorers.
Noosa Gold under-7s made double figures in goals.
Bonnie Boyes scored the first two goals for the team Bonnie BB Boyes five goals and Bella “The Boot on her birthday” Eve a big six goals with the other goal going to Montannah Ward.
The whole team played an awesome defence game, and the end result was that Noosa Gold defeated Stella Cyclones 12-3.
Under-8 Gold played against Mooloolah Mambas with Noosa winning 3-1.
Gold are finishing the season strongly with their second win in two weeks.
The score was deadlocked 1-1 at half-time, but Noosa Gold came out with great enthusiasm in the second half to hold off a strong Mooloolah team to finish 3-1 up.
Great play by Thompson Nimac scoring two goals, Tom Vale with one goal and Riley Mitchell making some great saves in the second half. Player of the week went to Iggy Gerber for consistently putting in 100 per cent effort in training and matches and some fabulous game play on the day.
Noosa under-9 Gold played Chancellor Cougars.
Although they were defeated on the day, the under-9s played with courage and great heart. They played a great game and the coach’s award went to Dallas.
Under-10 Gold played Caloundra White. Noosa lost 3-1 with the Noosa goal scored by Hunter Baistow. Player of the week was Zachary Nugent.
