Player of the Match: Will Foreman

Match Report: Another fine win for the boys based on good team football. A positive approach and good sportsmanship were evident throughout the game.

A composed and controlled passing game early in the first half put pressure on the opposition’s defence and by spreading the ball wide the boys were able to make space for Heath to score his first goal. After going up one nil, St Marys Convent came back with one of their own. Blue Mountains then showed good character to control the ball and create more opportunities. Another fine goal for Heath came on the back of excellent team play and a fine cross. In the second half a solid finish, in a congested penalty area, by Gus Langworthy gave us a two shot lead which the boys defended until full time.

Impressive passing sets with good build up from our back field is great to see at this time of the season. More goals will come when we show just a little more patience and fine tune our final passes to create more on goal chances.

A scrappy period of play at the start of the second half, when we were kept in our own back quarter of the field (for what seemed like an eternity!), highlighted the need for the occasional long clearance ball when no other options are available.

Will Foreman was outstanding in the midfield, especially in defence. His tenacity and skill won many contested balls and valuable possession for the team.

A fine debut by Chris Cather in the midfield. Chris showed fine skill on the ball and has fitted into the team very well.

Honourable mentions must go to Robbie Churchill who made very good positional decisions to be rock solid in goals and also Jacob Hunter who was again lion-hearted in defence.

Frustrating injuries to Will Cooke and Lachlan Jones made the win even more commendable.

Keep playing composed team football and the goals will continue to follow.
