12th Grade Sharks

Today we played Te Rerenga in what turned out to be a game full of end to end action. Both sidelines were in full voice cheering their kids on. Players of the day were Seth Wilmshurst and Casey Carleton. Goals scored Kayleb Cornwall x 2, Dylan Castle and Reef Havard.

12th Grade Stingrays

The 12th grade Stingrays played against a excellent team from Whenuakite on Saturday. The 'Rays had to work hard after conceding an early goal. They got to work, found their passing game and took hold of their opportunities. A great defensive effort from the backline and keeper ensured a second win for the season. Well done to Julius and Brennin who picked up players of the day. 

Junior Boys (mixed)

The opening game of the season for the Mercury Bay Junior Mixed side was away against Thames Junior Boys. As well as being the first time this team have played together, it was the first full 11 aside game for many of these young players.  

It was a really competitive game, with Thames taking a two goal lead into half time, before Mercury Bay pulled one back and then pushed forward for much of the second half.  Unfortunately, Mercury Bay couldn’t quite turn the pressure into goals, and a couple of late counter attacks settled what had been a very even game 4:1 to Thames.

A shout out to Trym Johannessen for standing in as keeper and Cooper Tuinier for his excellent goal, but our player of the day went to Milan Evans who marshalled our backline.   A big thanks to Thames for being excellent hosts, and wishing both teams the best for their season.
