Forty Winks Campbelltown City Quake Futsal Club Match Report Saturday 13th Dec 2008.
16-Dec-08 by Scoops Martinez Quake shakes the Eagles in massive Saturday.
The Forty Winks Campbelltown City Quake Futsal Club had a fantastic trip to Bankstown, where they took a huge 17 points from the Eagles, with 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.
12 boys Quake 0 SCE 4
This was always going to be a tough assignment, however, the Quake boys put up a terrific display, at times playing some very attractive Futsal. We say it every week; it is the teams inability to finish off chances that is letting them down. With a little more potency in front of goals, this team could become a force to be reckoned with. Nonetheless, the Eagles are a quality outfit, with such players as Paul Kalsetis and Andre Giolosa leading the way for them, and a quality GK in Blake Tuxford.
14 boys Quake 6 (Daniel Vellonio, Nathan Clissold, Marko Vukovic (2), Daniel Nelson, Shannon Fielding) - SCE 1.
With Quake missing Pat and Bruno Antelmi plus Nico Colantonio, we thought this was going to be a tough one to get. However, the boys dug deep and produced a super performance to take all 3 points. It was Marko who got the score going for Quake after a pass from Jake McGing. Not to be outdone, SCE equalised and that is how the teams went to the break. It was a superb first 10 minutes of the second half that produced the win, with goals to Shannon, Vellonio, Boomer and Nelson that set up the win. With 3 mins to go, Marko got his second and Quakes 6th to finish off a terrific win, keeping them in 2nd spot behind the Vipers.
13 girls Quake 2 ( Kaila Blayney, Laura Murtogh) SCE 10
This was always going to be a tough one, with the Eagles a quality side. Even though the score was one sided, the game was played in terrific spirit, a credit to both teams. The girls had a great time (both sides), the crowd cheering for goals to both teams. Well done Eagles, better luck next week Quake.
16 boys Quake 8 ( Tim Beasant 3, Andrew Rose 2, Jake McGing, Guy Goodwin, OG) SCE 4
This was an upset, as first placed Eagles were probably expecting to win. However, a depleted SCE outfit, coupled with a determined and well structured Quake team, reversed the result towards the purple and orange club. With a hat-trick to Tim Beasant and a double to Andrew Rose amongst the many highlights, the win keeps the Campbelltown team in contention for a play-off spot. Coach Simon Keith was happy with the win but insists consistency is what is required in this league.
16 Girls Quake 4 ( Madison Strutt 2, Laura Donelly, Linda Dudek) SCE 1
This team just keeps on improving. This was a very important game for Quake and they showed the importance by their determined start. After a tight first half where the teams were separated by a Laura Donelly goal, the Quake girls came out firing in the second. When Quake Top Scorer Linda Dudek scored Quakes second, the game picked up a notch, with the Eagle girls lifting. They were rewarded with a goal to Hayley Matheson to cut the deficit to just one. However, Quake was finishing the stronger, with 2 unanswered goals by Madison Strutt to claim a great win.
Youth Men Quake 5 ( Emmanuel Hairshirt, David Von Dinklage, Mark Symington 2, OG) SCE 2
This was a danger game for the high flying Quake team. Quake were playing a depleted Eagles side looking to upset the competition front runners. And that they were doing when goals to Jamal Saliba and Chris Hanly put Sydney City 2-0 up. They say good teams make their own luck, but Quake had to rely on an error by the Eagles GK, followed by a deflection, to take them to the break at 2-a- piece. However, the much stronger Quake team consolidated, and led by Symo and DVD, secured a hard-fought 5-2 victory. All credit must go to the young Eagles who took Quake all the way showing courage and skill along the way.
Women Quake 1( Caitlin Jarvie) SCE 1
This was a game where the result was justified. I am sure both Coaches are reading this and claiming that THEY had the better of play. After a scoreless first half, a goal to Pommy in the 10th minute was cancelled by a penalty goal scored by Effie Rodopoulos in the 15th minute. SCE looked to be finishing the strongest as they hit the post and missed several chances in the last minute, but 2 points each was a fair distribution after 40 minutes.
Men Quake 7 (Mark Symington, Simon Keith 2, Tuan Cao, Danny Martinez, Tim Simpson, Miles Downie) SCE 3 (Isaac Wadick 2, Leo Carle )
Ever since their first round encounter, Quake had been thinking of the return match with the Eagles, wanting to avenge their last up defeat. But it all took a bad turn when in the second minute, Leo Carle laid off a ball at target to an approaching Isaac Wadick to put the Eagles up by one. It was not until the 19th minute when Danny Martinez played a ball to Simon Keith who slotted the ball passed the keeper to take the score to 1-all. That is how the teams went to the break, as they received inspiring talks from their respective Coaches.
The second half was a different story, as a tiring Eagles outfit could not cope with the quicker, more structured Quake approach. Mark Symington took Quake to the lead when in the 5th minute of the second half, he made a typical solo run up the middle to score unchallenged. The Quake scoring continued as Miles Downie (8th min), Tim Simpson (10th) and Tuan Cao (12th) took Quake to a 5-1 lead. The Eagles begun to play 5th man and Quake took further advantage as Heber Carvalho took a great pass from Simon Keith, to beat Leo Carle and lay off to Danny Martinez for an easy tap in. The score went to 7 when Simon Keith scored his second form distance into an unattended Eagles goal. The last 8 minutes were better for the Eagles, scoring 2 late goals to put some respectability in an otherwise powerful Quake performance.
Quake will host Mascot Vipers this Saturday 20th in our last game before the Xmas Break. Source: Admin | |
