Surfside Waves Wrap

Round 11:

Under 7 Red's:

The Reds got off to another good start with a goal from Max Klinsmann who scored 2 more later on. The Reds played some sexy football passing to ball around the Rovers team, Aiden and Jack were strong in midfield and Gabe was good in defence. Josh played for the Rovers as they didn't have enough players and he scored.

Under 10 girls: Surfside 6 - Barwon Head Stars 0
New players Bailey & Kiani joined the squad. Halfway through the first half Surfside wrestled dominance back from the plucky Stars following a goal from Matilda with a surging run from defence. Three goals followed from Audrey, Ashleigh & Libby. The highlight of the second half being Penny who ran the full length of the pitch rounding numerous opposition players unlucky not to score. Surfside added two more goals and finished the last ten minutes of the game in charge with the newcomers Bailey & Kiani unlucky not to score.

Under 11's White: Surfside Waves White vs  Surf Coast Blue

Well St Leonards really turned on some beautiful weather this morning, real shorts and thongs stuff.

All the boys trickled in with their arms crossed and heads down, but Daz and Paul got them running around and warmed up. The game got under way and was a bit of a stalemate early, Bob was running through the midfield looking dangerous linking up to with various forwards. Alex was able to score 3 goals in quick succession. Thomas scored a couple & a few others chip in with a goal each.

Under 11's Blue:  Surfside Waves Blue  vs  Surf Coast Yellow

Surfside controlled the game from the onset, moving the ball around well but were not able to convert. Some good quick passing saw Jolyon have a 1st time shot on goal which took the keeper by surprise. The 2nd half was much the same with Surfside playing all over Surf Coast but unable to score. Finally Ciera got her game going & scored 2 quick goals. This seemed to spur Ciera on & a few minutes later she was able to get onto the end of some great passing to score again. Surf Coast got on a breakaway & with their only shot on goal where able to score.

Surfside Waves  Under 13 boys: Corio Bay 5 Surfside Waves 1
 We played very good football again. The score board does not  show what really happen in the ground. Man of the match: Kain. Goal scorer: Noah Mujica.
A tremendous effort by every player.

Surfside Waves 4 Vs Bell Park Blue 0
The girls continued their winning ways with a 4-0 win away to Bell Park. The week off and school holidays didn't affect the Waves who quickly had Bell Park under pressure. First half goals to Emily and Lucy effectively sealed the points. The second half saw the Waves continue to dominate possession but they could not capitalise. Well done girls on another great result. We need to continue to work hard and improve our skills and passing game particularly against the higher placed teams.

Under 17 boys: Corio 1 Surfside Waves 0

On a wet and cold day, Surfside played wonderfully well and despite missing 5 opportunities in the first half, a defensive mistake saw us punished. 1 nil down at half time. The lads responded beautifully and in a determined performance we continued to pressure Corio with at least ten chances on goal, their goalkeeper had a terrific game. Despite dominating the game we were unable to score. That's football the beautiful game. The lads will use this result as motivation for the final 6 games as we hope to make the finals.

Men's div 3: Bell Park 2 Surfside Waves 2

Ladder leaders Surfside travelled to second-place Bell Park in the top of the table showdown.  Surfside controlled the first half and were 2 goals up at half time, both coming from young striker John Black. Surfside started the second half well, but tired during the half on a mud-bath of a pitch that could have seen the game called off. Bell Park finished the game strongly and scored twice in the last 10 minutes to even the scores. Credit should be given to the under 17s players who had already played 90 minutes on a poor Corio pitch before giving everything for the seniors.

Drysdale 0 Surfside Waves 0

Round 12:

Under 7' Reds

Round 10 the Reds played Drysdale United, after some fantastic football by both teams the scores were level at halftime. Max and josh played like van Persie and Suarez in attack scoring for fun in the second half. Jack and captain Aiden played well defence and Gabe took control of midfield. Well done to both teams.

Under 7 white's:

A great return to form today by the Whites.  Congratulations to the boys by spreading well on the pitch and working well as a team.  Zachary and Konnor added to their goal scoring tally whilst Jayden, Michael, Fletcher and captain Nicholas defended hard and ran all game.  The game was good to watch and both teams played well.

Under 10 girls:

Surfside Waves put themselves immediately in the driving seat scoring a goal within the first few minutes and they never really looked back. Birthday Girl and Captain Ashleigh added a second and the waves played some excellent passages of play with further goals from Libby &Audrey. Into the second half the girls played very unselfishly passing to set up team mates Zara, Bailey, Penny & Kiana in scoring positions. Matilda had a strong second half scoring four goals and Ashleigh rounding off her birthday match with a further goal for a hatrick. To their credit the Comets never gave up and continued to play with determination which was finally rewarded with a great goal.

Under 14 girls: Surfside Waves 1 Kardinia 1

The Waves hosted 2nd placed & undefeated Kardinia at Shell Rd. The Waves quickly moved into rythym and had the Kardinia defence under pressure for much of the first half. 0-0 at half time in a tight contest. Both teams fighting hard to exert their influence.The 2nd half was much the same but it was Kardinia who took the lead in the 35th min through an unfortunate own goal from the Waves. Undeterred the Waves piled on the pressure and equalised in the 41st min with a great shot from Lucy. There were some anxious moments for both coaches as both sides went for the 3 points. In the end a fitting result to a very good game.
