Player of the Week – U13s – Isabelle S – Another fantastic goalscoring performance from Isabelle, who once again showed the class player we all know she is. We also love the way she’s always looking out for her teammates, top day, Izzy!

Player of the Week – U15s – The Whole Squad – The way this group of players have gelled, especially after a long summer break, shows what a fantastic group this is. There’s still plenty to work on, but some excellent passing and fabulous finishing showed that the future is very bright for this team.

Coaches Comments:

Coach Tyler said after the games, ‘It was great to see both teams back in action in competitive futsal matches. The U13s played some excellent futsal in their first game but came up against a much stronger team in the next. Overall, it was a good day with plenty more to come from this group. The U15s also showed they have some very talented futsal players, and Elena proved to be a fantastic addition to an already strong squad. We can’t wait to see how they develop over the coming season.’
