NOOSA EAGLES SOCCER
NOOSA Eagles Soccer Club played at home this weekend, basking in the last weekend of autumn sun before we hit the cooler winter months.
Under 6 Black played an exceptional game winning 5-1 against the Mooloolah Bandy’s with goals being scored by Kyro Kilgour, Myles Rollasson, Zach Ravezzani (2), and Ryder Macdonald. Ryder also took out player of the week for scoring his first goal of the season.
Under 8 Gold defeated the Sienna Marlins 6-3, they started off slow but once they hit top gear they were unstoppable. After winning player of the week last week on his birthday, Joel Fitzgerald scored as well as his team mates Harrison Howard and Montannah Ward. Player of the week this week was awarded to Bella Hillegers for her big boots in goal.
Under 9 Black were defeated by the Mooloolah Boas 2-1. Both teams played extremely well and it was anyone’s game. This week, player of the week went to Keiran Dow who also scored his first goal for the season. Beau Liddell did a great job in defence as he did last week when he took home player of the week.
Under 10 Gold drew two all against the Pacific Eels. After experiencing a few heavy losses in the first half of the season, the relatively inexperienced team has been working hard on the practice pitch honing their skills and understanding of the game. After enjoying some magic oranges and watermelon at half time, Noosa came out firing and hit back with two quick-fire goals by Jonah Macqueen, this coupled with the strong defence by Luis Brouwer and Dom Leerentveld and goalie Christian Hallam levelled the game. Charley Scott and Marli McMillan worked tirelessly in the midfield and Chloe Tompkin set up some great opportunities with some nice sideline run and passes. Man of the match was awarded to Dallas Wallace for his hard work and vast improvement in his skills.
Under 11 Gold were defeated by Caloundra Green 1-3, It was a very hard and intense game. Hayden Martin scored an awesome goal, while Bailey Atley took home player of the week.
