Under 11’s V Albury City  Drew 2 – 2Under 12’s V Albury City   Lost  2 – 3
Our boys were still on Easter Holidays.
Goals Kye 2
Awards: Harry M, Harry C, Zac and Toby

Under 12’s Girls V Albury City   Draw  3 – 3

What a fantastic game from the Super Under 12 girls team, they have come along way with their skills and are doing a great job and improving each and every week. The girls demonstrated great sportsmanship and team spirit.  A good game was had by all and we look forward to having a full side and showing what we can do over the coming weeks. Special mention to Charlotte, Makayla and Brooke who played their first game for Hotspurs and to Ciara, Sarsha and Laura who had strong games and dominated the play!  Ava and Hallex2 both scored, Keep up the hard work at training girls!! I’m very proud to coach such an enthusiastic bunch of girls who enjoy the game. Well Done

Under 13’s V Albury City       Lost  4 – 5
I think the boys were still on an Easter Egg Hunt in the first half as their minds seemed to be elsewhere. A much better second half by our boys. CJ passed the ball to Kye who scored, Manny passed to CJ who scored and Harry passed to Felix who passed to CJ who scored with a great header and the last goal was scored by Felix who chipped the keeper. Marcus was solid in defence and Felix controlled the midfield well.
Goals: Kye 1, CJ 2 and Felix 1
Best on ground: Marcus, Felix and Wendell

Under 14’s V Albury City       Won  5 – 4
Well the game got off to a flyer, it was intense from the get go. Zac had a crack from well outside the box to put it in the net. Then City came back with an equaliser, but Mitchell had other plans scoring another to put us up 2-1 at half time. John stirred the boys into action with a speech about mateship and doing it for each other. City came out strong to put one away early. Our defence strengthened up in the second half. Then came a goal from Ollie, then Cody joined in on the action scoring one. Zac got a penalty shot from the spot and made sure of it. But City weren’t finished scoring two more with only minutes to spare. It was a tight finish but the boys and a girl did a great job.

Under 14’s Girls V Albury City Lost 0 – 10

Under 16’s V Albury City  Won 3 – 2     Under 17’s Girls V Albury City  Lost 0 – 3

Third’s V Albury City         Lost  0 – 4
The Spurs did not play very well on Sunday. Our passing was very poor and we did not work as hard as we usually do. Sajit, Indra, Lewis were our best  players. We need to improve for next Sunday.

Over 35’s V Albury City          Lost  1 – 5
Not a game we wish to remember. Jim put us in front with a cracking goal from outside the penalty area to put us ahead in the first 10 minutes. From there we had glimpses of good play until we conceded a soft goal towards the end of the half. In the second half our formation just was not there & they scored a goal within a minute of kick off. Some other questionable goals (which we disputed with the referee for offside) in the first five to ten minutes left us a little dumfounded. A slight reshuffle & we found our feet again. We did play better in attack & defence in the last part of the game but it was all too late.

Reserve Women V Albury City         Lost  0 – 3
Great game played by the reserve ladies. Well done to Megan on debuting as keeper. Jess Alvey, Danielle, Kaels, Beth Whitehead and Kelly played a very strong game. Well done girls, I could see the skills you’ve been working on at training starting to come through, keep up the good work.

Reserves V Albury City   Lost  0 – 2
The Reserves did not have much luck and  just could not get the ball into the goal the team managed to hit the opponents crossbar four times during the game. Ram, Dhan and Santi had good games while Jon Cochrane and Zac Brodie were  strong in defence. Better luck next time.

Ladies V Albury City        Lost  2 – 4 
Congratulations girls on scoring goals against a team we haven’t in a few years. As someone who got to observe on the bench I can honestly say I can see the improvement and was enjoying watching so much I didn’t want to go back on. Thanks to Julz for a cracker effort in goals. Kendal, Nat Pursehouse, Bec Briggs and Jordan played a strong game. Congrats to Jess Briggs on scoring in the penalty and KT on a superb shot.

Seniors V Albury City       Lost  1 – 3
The senior men were very disappointed with this result. We again found ourselves two goals down early and chasing the game. We created many chances in the second half but poor finishing and good goalkeeping prevented Spurs from closing the gap. Matt Townsend and James Eggleston were the best for Hotspurs.
