Under 16 Div 2 results so far:

Results reported to FFT
Kingborough Lions Blue - 0 lost to Huon Valley - 7
Taroona - 4 defeated South Hobart White - 0


Thus far the ladder would look a little something like this:



Still waiting to see how the game between Glenorchy Knights White and Nelson MacKillop went.

U16 - 1st game not till 1st May...

The season proper starts with a BYE for the team this weekend (Sat 24th April), so their first game will be against Glenorchy Knights White next Saturday (1st May), 2 pm at Woodbridge.

Knights, who take on Nelson/MacKillop this weekend, also played in the Lightning Premiership in Group 2, defeating South Hobart White 1 – 0 and securing a nil all draw with Tilford Zebras.

There are several ways one could describe the performance of our Under 16 squad at the Lightning Premierships; the various oppositions, for example, may use the term 'surprising'. I prefer to use a qualified “awesome”.

Why can't I just come straight out and call them “awesome”?

Mostly because I'm reserving the term for later. This team has so much potential, so much promise, that I am reasonably certain that these first three mini-games are a mere hint of what is possible; and that “awesome” is yet to come.

Group 3 Results:
Woodbridge 3 Vs Kingborough Lions Blue 1
Woodbridge 1 Vs Huon Valley 1
Woodbridge 2 Vs Nelson/MacKillop 1 (for some reason this game is not factored into ladder calculations)

The team did extremely well in this tournament, and yet I sense that they can, and will, do even better.

They currently sit at number three on the overall ladder (minus the Nelson/MacKillop result) and Bolan, who put in two against Kingborough and one against Huon Valley, shares the top spot on the goal scorers ladder with Samuel Ross from the ladder topping South Hobart Red team. Statistically great results for a small country club

Waiting to Play

Woodbridge Soccer Club's new Under 16 team is eagerly awaiting their season's kick off.

Their first game will be competing in the youth Lightning Premierships which are scheduled to start on the weekend of 17th & 18th April, but as yet no details are available about the games.

The roster proper is set to start the following weekend (25th & 25th April) and although the roster has yet to be published, a little birdie informed me that the lads can expect to come up against teams from Glenorchy Knights, Huon Valley, Kingborough Lions, Nelson/MacKillop, Sth Hobart and Taroona.

It promises to be an exciting season.
