NOOSA EAGLES
Noosa under-9 Gold built on last week’s win with a 3-0 victory over Stella Maris. An early goal from Bella started the scoring. Great work from the defence and midfielders kept the ball with our forwards. Prolific goal scorer Joel scored a cracking chip over the goal keepers head. Oliver continued his great work in the midfield to earn player-of-the-match. Joel then got his double with the only goal in the second half.
What a tough close game for under-9 Black. They were up against some big strong defenders from opposing team Coolum. Each player kept going determined not to give the game away. Alexander absolutely shone, stopping some outstanding hard kicks as goalie then came out in the second half and backed it up with fantastic defence. The game came to a close finish with the score being 5-4 after Noah belted in two goals before the whistle blew. Well done to Noah and Lenny kicking the goals, and to Baden, Jaymie, Cooper, James and Kallum for their defending on field. Player-of-the-match went to deserving Alexander who was exceptional. Cooper also won a voucher for his great play.
The under-6 Black team came away very happy with their win against Coolum Stingrays with the score 5-0. Every player put in 100 per cent on field. Eli stopped every ball from our opposing team in goals and Emily, Charlie, Max, Zach, Isaac and Myles all showed great defence. Congratulations to Max scoring his first goal for the season, and to our other goal shooters Charlie, Myles and Isaac. Isaac took home the player-of-the-match for his outstanding play.
