Strikers Football August 28th
Home games wrap-up
The last football game of the season for the U16 boys Strikers showed the progress they have made over the year. They played the top team of their competition, Boambee, who had previously scored 10 goals off the Strikers and were expecting the same this time. This time we kept them to 6 - 0 with several close scoring chances ourselves. A valiant effort all year by a young team for their division.
The Strikers 14 boys team were confident of a win against a Boambee Jets side that has struggled all season. After the first goal to the Strikers it was one way traffic to the Boambee goal and it was interesting to see the lads' capabilities to find space and shoot from anywhere in the attacking half. With shots coming from anywhere at anytime it made it extremely difficult for the Boambee defence but they showed composure and never gave up.
The Strikers 16 girls were in full force against Boambee with their shots coming from both wings and drives up the centre of the park. Good to see them enjoying their football.

U12s Nambucca Strikers v Bellingen
The Strikers Under 12s team played probably it's best football match of the season last weekend at home.
Still chasing their first point in the competition they came up against one of the frontrunners in Bellingen. This team beat the young Strikers 13 - 1 the last time they met.
Every player lifted in this game as the Strikers wanted to account much better for themselves this time.
Lawso Tinmouth was in top form in goal for the Strikers and when Heath Blain replaced him in the 2nd half he continued in the same vein. Lochie Paix had a superb game as the Strikers' sweeper and was well supported by Tyler Girle and Fred Henstock as twin stoppers.
Tamara Wood and Hayden Shannon defended the wings and kept them very quiet. Bellingen had a few shots and late in the first half found the target.

The midfield of Alec Gage, Nick Hickey, Jake Nicholas and Ashley Ferguson played like men possessed, charging forward in attack then defending grimly when needed. TJ Hamilton and Hamish McDonald were brilliant up front keeping the Bello' defenders on the back foot. When Lawso turned striker in the 2nd half he added the extra power and scored the Striker's equalizer.
With just moments left to a well-deserved match point, the Strikers' fell to a sucker punch when Bello' nicked another goal. The Strikers showed great character and team work and next week against Woopi they'll be unstoppable!
Final score: Bellingen 2 - Nambucca Strikers 1.

The Under 7 Lions turned up the heat
THE UNDER 7 LIONS TURNED UP THE HEAT
Despite the freezing morning we experienced on Saturday 7th August, the Under 7 Lions demonstrated amazing teamwork against the Tigers at our home ground.
Unfortunately one of our team mates was sick, but despite this, an amazing game of football was played! The team worked together winning the match and showing wonderful progress from the start of the season.

Logan used his super kicks to pass the ball from one end of the field to the other and Lachlan's defence was outstanding! Pacee showed the other team how to dribble with style as he flew past the opponents and Sam passed to his team mates demonstrating how to share! Hamish came close to scoring with a smile on his face and Liam was alert, saving many a ball from entering our nets!!!
Did we have fun? Yes!!!!
After all, that's always the most important thing!!!!

The true spirit of junior football
A combination of great sportsmanship, a huge crowd, pleasant weather and plenty of happy players was the recipe for success at Toormina Oval on Sunday 25th July at the annual Sawtell FC Junior Round Robin.
There were 42 teams of 6, 7 and 8 year olds from Clubs all across the North Coast Football Zone which descended on Toormina Oval for several games of Optus Small Sided Football.
With the aim of the day being inclusion and enjoyment for all, with no point-scoring, the atmosphere was structured but relaxed.

The organisers from Sawtell FC arrived early to set up the many fields, the well-stocked canteen and the nerve centre of the Round Robin - the official tent. Players and supporters began arriving well before 8:30, and the first Under 8 games kicked off at 8:40.
After that, the games progressed quickly and efficiently, with the final games kicking off at 1:05, followed by a huge presentation at 2pm, where all participants received their ribbons and the raffles were drawn.
With an emphasis on pitching in for a good cause, many supporters and current players spent their Sunday working willingly, in the knowledge that their support of Optus Small Sided Football at Sawtell FC is assisting to promote the game and to support the development of young players.
It is on days like these that the Community can observe how valuable volunteers are. Everyone who attended the day did so because they enjoy the round ball game and/or because they take pleasure in giving to their community. Although it is tiring for all, we look forward to continuing the tradition of the Sawtell FC Round Robin at Toormina Oval again next winter.

Sawtell U11s
Sawtell Scorpions U/11s have had a good start to the season. After completing our trial games and a great pre-season training the boys hit the ground running in the 1st round played against Bellingen Kewell's last Saturday. Sawtell ran out winners 5-2 in a dominant display of possession and attacking football.
Scorpions' midfield consisting of Boston Philips, his cousin Jayden Burns and Layton Duck showed great strength and skill in winning the ball and feeding the wide men (Jack Collins and Aiden Crough) with excellent execution. With the speed out wide of Collins and Crough the Bello boys would always be in trouble from the get-go.
An early goal to Philips saw the Scorpions take control of the game and play it the way they wanted to. Young Philips then went on to set up his cousin Jayden Burns who never misses an opportunity to bury one in the back of the net, 2-0 Sawtell.
Bellingen briefly got themselves into the game midway through the 1st half with some good passing and movement off the ball, but as the game started to open up with some end to end plays, Sawtell's superior speed and skill proved too much for the young Bellingen team.
A great effort by Sawtell's back 3 (Keaan Van Venrooij, Danny Woodhouse & Mathew Orman) kept any Bellingen attack held well at bay joined with some great Keeping by Hayden West.
Sawtell soon went up 3-0 after an excellent display of passing starting with CB Danny Woodhouse laying off to Aiden Crough taking the ball forward and putting Layton Duck into a big midfield hole, Duck then looked at his options and linked with his Captain and striker Jackson Petrie by a great penetrating pass in which Petrie finished with style. A late 1st half goal to Bellingen had the Sawtell boys leading 3-1 at the break.
The second half was much the same as the first, Sawtell came out firing quickly taking dominance again, they were unlucky not to go further ahead with some near misses early in the half to Burns, Duck, Collins and Petrie. Sawtell soon found the back of the net again through young star striker Jackson Petrie after a sustained period of 'keep ball' and a great cross from winger Jack Collins.
The team Captain, Petrie then put the game to a close with about 3-5 mins remaining with another solid well, placed strike, a hint of off-side was with the goal, but the flag stayed down and the referee paid the goal. Sawtell ended the game on a high and sang their winning chant loud and proud on the halfway line. Well done boys.
Goals to: Jackson Petrie 3, Boston Philips 1, Jayden Burns 1.
Assists to: Boston Philips 1, Layton Duck 1, Jack Collins 1.
Coach: Aaron Bryant-Smith, Manager: Jodie Burns.
NEXT GAME: Sawtell Scorpions U/11's at Nambucca Heads Strikers. 9:30am
Scorpions U/11s would like extend their thanks to COCA-COLA for the Powerade drink bottles, Cheers Gav.
