Reports - 2009
Round 1 - 26/04/2009
The boys travelled to Knott Res. Clifton Hill for their first
game, and found themselves up against an all girl team. In a
very one-sided game the boys teamed well, passed the ball around
and scored at will. The girls hadn't practiced together, but
some of the girls showed promising skills and with some practice
and games we hope to see great game on the return match. The
pitch was in perfect condition, a beautiful green carpet and the
boys took advantage of it, showed lots of skill passing and
moving with confidence, Keep it up boys!. (Special thanks to
Toni for stepping in as Ref and keeping the game on track).
Round 2 - 3/05/2009
Reality bit the Joey Reds in the second Round after their first
round cakewalk, the Brunswick Zebras were bigger and stronger
and had plenty of skill, and had come to play!. The PV boys got
an early goal in the first half through Martin, but the zebras
got 5. The Pascoe Vale joeys kept up the fight in the second
half, giving all they could, and restricted the Zebras to just
two more goals, but couldn't make a mark on the score board
themselves. Our boys had some chances, got forward plenty of
times, but couldn't find anyone in a scoring position. All the
boys tried hard all game, highlights, Frankie was everywhere,
ran miles, attacked and defended, a fantastic effort, as was
Josh's efforts in goals second half. And Jordan, who took a ball
hard in the face and got right back into the game, well done.
Round 3 - 10/05/2009
The Joeys had an early start at Bundoora, a fine morning, and a
nice pitch, but not easy to find. Three goals early in the first
half, including two to Martin saw the boys ahead 3-1 at half
time, with Charlie in the goals first half doing a fantastic job
and lots of good passing and teamwork. In a much tougher second
half the Bundoora boys and girls came back hard, but the PV boys
held on in defense and when Charlie slotted home our 4th goal
the boys were home with a 4-3 win, well done, a really good team
effort. All the boys played a great game, a highlight
Gabrielle's efforts in defense in the second half, well done.
Round 4 - 17/05/2009
Pascoe Vale Joeys Red boys were at home (on the oval) to DOC
United and had a fantastic game. Our 7 boys worked hard for the
full 40 minutes, in the first half Martin scored twice after
great crosses, and Josh threw himself around in goal for some
great saves. 2-0 at half time the boy continued the great
teamwork in the second half. Thomas was solid in defence, great
running by Gabriel up the right side, and Charlie, Frank and
Jordan all getting the ball into the back of the net, a
fantastic team effort, a well deserved 5-1 result. Our opponents
had some good and fast players, but it was our teamwork that
made the difference, keep it up boys. (We may need to practice
our "wall" though, preparation looked okay but execution was a
bit shaky!).
Round 5 - 24/05/2009
The Joeys Red hosted Eltham North on the grass at Hosken
reserve. Kicking into the breeze in the first half it was a
tight struggle, some great work in defence on both sides,
Elthams goalie made several good saves, the PV boys were unlucky
not to have more than 1 goal on the board at half time. The
experienced players in this PV side were doing a fantastic job
of bringing their less experienced teammates into the game, by
passing to their advantage and giving them every opportunity to
make the play and gain confidence, great to see. The second half
with the wind, the PV boys kept up the pressure, and created
lots of chances by good passing and running. We managed 4 goals
in the second half, the visitors had some chances too, but good
defence kept them scoreless. Very well done boys, improving
every week.
