Southerners Futsal

Huge props to our Div 2 team! Southerners Futsal club wins both divisions.
Well done to all involved!

Southerners got the job done tonight and, in doing so, claim the Div 2-A summer title for 24/25!

Southerners are the first club/team to achieve the double!
Congratulations!
(Narrowly missed out on the treble last night! 😯)

A huge shout-out to our Division 1 winning team. These guys were super consistent after a sluggish start, it was a pleasure to watch them play!
We celebrate moments like these and enjoy them, they're certainly quite rare and hard-earned.
Thank you to Byford Futsal League for the effort that goes in each season again, it's impressive to see what the league has become over the years.
Thanks to Ethan Zandman Sebastian Zandman Vaughan Audrain Cody van Meekeren Harvey Dykstra Ali Sina and Diego Riffo for your contribution and just revelling in the moments! You're a great bunch of guys and we love having you in our club.
Finally, a special mention to a special player Vaughan Audrain congrats on your Golden Boot win, you got close for MVP too, pity you missed the first few games!

Normally these reviews aren’t bad but the one on our game was a tad harsh on 2-Touch and robbed us of some well-deserved kudos. Yes there were some mistakes but some of the phases of play Southerners Futsal put together was just beautiful to watch. 3 of the 6 goals were well-worked team goals.
Four points clear heading into the Christmas break. What a tight comp it is though, it’ll come down to those fine margins!

Division 1 - Round 10 - Review

~

Saffies FC 🆚 The Nutmegs

Saffies FC picked up 3 points in a dire affair that really only had one highlight, that of Krys' left foot volley that happened to be the only time we saw the net bulge.
Too many long throws, and with futsal touches and completed passes being quite scarce, it meant neither team could break down their opponent to create any big chances to trouble their opposition keepers.

YKB 🆚 The Mad Shueys

YKB have noticably worked on slowing down their play to start implimenting a futsal structure, and kept the ball well at times.
With literally just fresh air to beat on 3 or 4 occasions, YKB should have put this game to bed in the 1st half, but they didn't capitalise and it came back to haunt them, with the Shueys scoring twice in the final 70 seconds to steal the win!
Shueys have been more deserving of points in other losses this season, but they will take this one gladly as they get themselves off the bottom of the ladder.

2 Touch FC 🆚 Southerners

2 Touch FC swapped their red playing shirts for red santa suits as they got right into the Christmas spirit of giving. 😆
Tom opened the scoring after creating a nice overload, but were unlucky to concede straight after.
From then on, 2 Touch assisted the next 5 goals for Southerners who really had to do very little to ice this one.
Southerners defended the attempted 5th man well and saw the game out to go 4 points clear at the top.

FC Vintage 🆚 BSG

BSG were fairly dominant in their victory against FC Vintage, with Vintage only picking up a consolation goal just before the final buzzer, which spoilt Hanno's clean sheet and probably an entry into the Team of the Week.
After conceding a sloppy early goal, Vintage did well to stay in the game however, but they couldn't contain the quality finishing of Damo's left boot, and although a quick goal or 2 may have changed the look of the game, it never really looked likely.

It's shaping up to be a cracker next week! The old rivalry continues with some new faces. We still think Tom looks better in orange ;)

Division 1 - Round 9 - Review

Saffies FC 🆚 YKB

Saffies suffered a 2nd loss in a row to the hands of YKB, who have revived their season in the past 2 weeks.
Still a long way to go for them, but there are 12 rounds left!
For the Saffies, this is the problem in this league; you have a bad week or 2, it can easily become a disaster as there are no easy games in the league, and a 3rd or 4th loss on the trot would basically end their season, they'll need to bounce back next week against The Nutmegs!

The Nutmegs 🆚 BSG

The Nutmegs claimed a big win over BSG with great performances particularly from Tim, and also Pacey minding the net.
A painful result for BSG with 2 losses in 2 weeks now, and injuries now to go with it.
The top 2 have bolted, but these two 'upsets' have created a 4 team mid pack now, with Saffies and BSG, who were ladder leaders a month ago, they're now 7 points adrift!

The Mad Shueys 🆚 Southerners

The Mad Shueys stayed in touch for much of the game, and pegged a goal back at one stage to bring it to 2 - 1, but they couldn't go with the Southerners in the 2nd half.
It's been the tale of the tape for Shueys this season unfortunately, while for Southerners with plenty of individual talent, they are going to be hard to notch a win against this season.
They lead 2 Touch FC by a point ahead of a huge clash with them to end the year!

FC Vintage 🆚 2 Touch FC

Vintage jumped a slow 2 Touch to lead two nil early, but they were pegged back by around half time with 2 Touch gaining the lead for the first time at 5 - 4.
2 Touch dominated the 2nd half, and for the first time this season, it looked like things were starting to click together for the team in red.
They need to tighten up the against column, but we're set up for a mouth watering contest between 1st and 2nd next week!
