8th Grade

The MBFC 8th Grade travelled to Tairua on Saturday to play Tairua. Once again we were lucky to have lovely weather for the kids to enjoy a morning of football. This week our players of the day were Harry Pointon for his great defending, not letting anyone past him and Elias Phillips for his playing and setting up a goal and his sportsmanship which is always fantastic to see from the kids.

Junior Mixed

Junior Mixed vs Te Awamutu 24 May

The first league game of the season also doubled as the first round of the knockout cup. We welcomed an organised Te Awamutu team who started strongly, applying heaps of pressure, but Mercury Bay defended resolutely, and it was scoreless after a competitive first half. Shortly into the second half, Mercury Bays midfield began to dominate and were rewarded with two quick goals. The first by Farai Gray tapping in a cross from Charlotte Allen, and the second an own goal following a cross by Noah Greenfield. It was a nervous end to the game when Te Awamutu pulled one back, but our goalkeeper and player of the day Alfie Harris made a number of top class saves to earn Mercury Bay the 2:1 win and progression to the next round of the cup.
