In the Women’s competition UDS Ladies still top the A Grade table followed by Sanco Produce and in the Social A Grade, Shin Kickers stay at the top followed by DILLIGAF and The Hangovers.
Juniors
Week 5 of Junior Social Soccer had some great team and individual performances.
Team performance of the week went to Pink Panthers, the girls playing so well as a team! Goal of the week went to Jensen Power for Young Panthers for a long run from inside his own half with defenders in pursuit concluding with a precision finish in the far bottom corner of goal. Keeper performance of the week went to Delphaine Savage for Mini Fillies for her first stint in goal ever and she did an amazing job against the boys.
The kids have three weeks to go, the season will end on Tuesday, 3 December. A huge shoutout to Travis Butler for the marking of the fields each week!
