Another beautiful sunny morning to show off the skills you have practiced all season.
Last week I said 'sometimes getting the ball into the net takes something special.' Well Elkan, you sure proved that with two excellent goals - including the second which has to be GOAL OF THE SEASON!
Well done Edward, Leah and Layton as joint players of the day - recognition of lots of hard work in the sun.
A special mention to Alex - your hard work getting the ball down field was outstanding. The opposition coach was very impressed and wished you were on his team."

Alex scored 8.

Wte Warriors vs Pleasant Point Leopards

Played Saturday 20th August.

Played at Pleasant Point at 10am.

Wte Torpedoes vs Temuka Cougars 2-1

Played Saturday 20th August.

Played at Gunnion Square, Temuka at 10.30am.

Coach Rochelle said, "Because of the size pitch we had lots of little red faces again by the end. We did recruit a school friend Zayne to play as our extra so we could have a wee sub. He did really well and is very keen to play with us next year! Everybody put in a big effort..... the passing game that Dave got them doing at practice paid off, there was definitely more looking and thinking going on! A real tussle around the field with offence and defence, the ball was in our half the majority of the second half but we lost count of near misses at the goal, it was exciting to watch."

Player of the Day: Noah.

Wte Giants vs WE Beaconsfield Breakers 1-9





Played Saturday 20th August.

Played at West End, Timaru at 10.40am.

Parent Tim said, "All the Giants players worked hard on Saturday. Playing the first half in squishy mud, then the second in frozen mud made for an interesting contrast. I have noticed real improvement in passing accuracy and players off the ball looking for a space and calling for the ball. Just remember guys and gals, look to use the touchline to get down field. The Giants have a bye to finish the season."

Players of the day: Shaun and Brodie
