NOOSA EAGLES JUNIOR SOCCER
UNDER 6
Great game from the Under 6 team with a win against Stella Scorchers 10-2. Goal shooters were Myles, Charlie and Zach, but Player of the Match went to Isaac for his fantastic passing, ball control and team play. Well done, Isaac!
UNDER 9 GOLD
Under 9 Gold are coming into their own in the second half of the season. They notched up their sixth win out of nine games when they won a close home game against Palmwoods.
‘Bella the Boot’ got the team in front with a goal early in the first half but despite a number of chances by the other forwards – Joel and Harrison -they couldn’t convert. Strong goal keeping by Oliver gave Noosa a clean sheet for the first half. Palmwoods slipped one by dedicated keeper Eli early in the second half. Tight defence and solid midfield kept the Palmwoods’ attackers out. It was a great team effort that found Harrison with the ball at his feet in front of goals, a calm head prevailed as he slotted the winner away. A great effort by the whole team, but it was Cooper that showed his true colours as a strong midfielder and took home Player of the Match. UNDER 9 BLACK
Great competition for Under 9 Black this week against Palmood Braves finishing with a draw – 1 all. All players had a great game. Rohnan scored Noosa’s goal after a fantastic pass from Lenny. Player of the Match went to Storm who played an outstanding game on field.
UNDER 10 BLACK
A 4-0 win for Under 10 Black against Buddina. The final score does not reflect the hard-fought contest between these two teams. Noosa Black’s defenders – Charlie Drew, Ritchie Meyer and Joel Mackay-Black were kept on their toes and, with the help of two great goal keepers, Isaac Benjamin and Josh Plant, did a sterling job keeping Buddina scoreless. Great effort again this week against a formidable team.
