WSC Vs Nelson/Mac; the Ad hoc friendly

Woodbridge starts the winter roster with a rematch against Nelson/MacKillop, 12:30 pm at Woodbridge on Saturday 19th June. Last time these two teams met, some form of miscommunication prevented the bulk of the Nelson/MacKillop lads from actually arriving for the game; we hope that this time they are adequately informed and come down to Woodbridge for what promises to be an exciting match-up.

The four Nelson/MacKillop lads who made it down to Woodbridge last time, stuck around for a 40 minute, 10-a-side friendly, borrowing Vincent and Jy from the Under 16 team, Jacob from the Under 13s and Justin, Dalles and Craig from the men's team. Despite dire prognostications, such as the overheard “we're going to get our (body part)s kicked”, the Under 16s were inspired to play their best game yet.

The 9 – 1 win may not have been official, but it was a morale-boosting way to conclude the autumn roster, and Nelson/Mac need not feel too bad about it, because although they had some talented players on their side, it was largely not the team they are accustomed to playing with. Woodbridge on the other hand looked as if they might finally be coming to grips with playing together, and up front they had fine-tuned their shots to actually bypass the keeper and hit the net.

Bolan reminded spectators of what he is capable of by putting in 5 goals, Phineas and Nick scored a well earned brace apiece and Jordan has broken his goal drought – when that happened in the U13s last year he was unstoppable! Nelson/Mac had numerous shots on goal, but Aiden was in fine form, leaping on everything until a well timed shot from Jy added the visitors to the scoreboard. And that's when the whistle blew...
