CONGRATULATIONS FROM LAKY TO ALL THE BOYS FOR WINNING THE GRAND FINAL !!!!
YOU GUYS MADE ME PROUD !!!
!!!! PREMIERS !!!!
It was a long road to get here but we finally proved that unfortunately (to some inconsistent results earlier in the season) we dropped to the wrong group.
A 6-0 win in the grand final was a deserved result.
Everyone in the team played very well in the final with very little if anything to fault.
Had to wait again (two weeks in a row) for the previous game to finish that went into extra time and then penalties. Venue was Milperra’s N0. 2 field near the trees.
An early goal about 15 minutes into the game by Jimmy off a free kick set the tone for the game and was the right thing to happen at the right time. A great goal – from well outside of the penalty box to the right of an outstretched keeper who just managed to get fingertips to the ball but not enough control to keep it out.
Very tight marking in the backs kept out any real shots at goal and no corners in the first half. Good runs up the side wings from Danksy and Tass with Sanjay, Barry and Foxy doing the same. A wide park on a lush green surface (lush is not a word you’d associate with the Marco fields during a season) really suited our play and passing game. There was not really any counter to great defence and offensive runs. 3-0 at half time but we really had to keep focused because of the way the crowd greeted us when we came off. Almost felt like full time!
Second half was more of the same. Not much hope for them 3-0 down but we knew they’d throw everyone up from the beginning of the half and they did. It was quiet for about 20 minutes without any further goals but then we started to come again with Jeff running up the guts and feeding a great through ball that led to another goal. Danny got into the mix with plenty of time with the ball outside of the penalty box to the left of the goal. We could all see from his body language what was going to happen next – a curling ball across the face of the goals dipping into the top right hand corner of the goal. Almost a chance from Barry plus 2 more goals led to a 6-0 win in the end.
A hat-trick from Dave, the goal to start it off from Jimmy and goals from Costa and Danny to cement it.
Andrew had very little to do again – goal keeping can be like that sometimes and a thankless position.
More like an association cup win, but a grand-final is a grand-final. We worked hard in the second half of the season and it paid off. Well done to everyone for a well deserved finish to the season.
Thanks to all those who came down to watch the game and who shared in the win after the game.
Thanks also to Laky and Jimmy for organising the season, training, and keeping our spirits in the right place and keeping order within the squad. Special mention to Laky who always manages to keep a smile on his face in any situation and a great inspiration to managing and teamwork.
