SUMMER SOCCER - YEARS 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 - 12 NOVEMBER 2018

Wentworth Storm - Year 1
Our Year 1 team is continuing to find it tough against some much more experienced teams, but it isn’t deterring their enthusiasm.  The first game was exciting against Dairy Flat’s “The Tail Feathers” team.  Lewis West scored Wentworth Storm’s very first goal of the whole season, and we had two really good attempts at a further goal where the ball just missed by centimetres.  The final score was 3-1 to The Tail Feathers, but the team were proving that they were learning to work together to get results.  The second game was against a much more experienced team, Stella Hotspur. Even the 10-0 loss didn’t daunt Wentworth Storm players who carried on with determination, right through to the end.  Player of the Day went to Lewis West for scoring the first ever goal for the team, as well as brilliantly saving a goal from the other team.  He enthusiastically played for the entire two matches, hardly taking a break off the pitch.
Trainings are run at lunchtimes on Mondays for Years 1 & 2.



Wentworth Warriors - Years 1 & 2

WW Warriors 1 - The Red Lions 4
The Warriors worked hard on chasing the ball but were up against an experienced Lions team who scored 3 quick goals in the first half. Jacob scored a great goal in the 2nd half to get the Warriors on the scoreboard. Strong defending saw some good saves from Timofei and Theo. The Lions won the game with a goal that trickled over the goal line as our defence got tangled.
WW Warriors 2 - Red Beach Crusaders 3
After a great energy boost of oranges and crackers (thank you Theo’s Mum) the Warriors played a good attacking game to score 2 goals. Ezrah worked hard to get the ball to his team with some good free kicks and Charles, Jacob and Theo put some good shots on target. The girls are showing improvement in their tackles and good running to get back and help in defence. The score line was close and the sideline support was loud as the Warriors played well to lose by a narrow margin.
Player of the Day went to Jacob Owen for his timely tackles and strong shots on goal.

Trainings are run at lunchtimes on Mondays for Years 1 & 2.


Wentworth Dragons - Years 3 & 4

WW Dragons 2 - Orewa Allstars 2
WW Dragons 2 - GHS Dragons 0
The practise showed good results this week as the Dragons played much better as a team, passing to each other and looking for space. Player of the Day was Aston Carter for finding space and taking opportunities to score goals.
Trainings are run at lunchtimes on Tuesdays for Years 3 & 4.


Wentworth Magpies - Years 3 & 4
Another fantastic week of soccer for the Magpies! They are such an eager and keen team, displaying awesome sportsmanship and huge smiles. Unfortunately we lost both games, 5-1 to Dairy Flat and 5-1 to Red Beach. Player of the Day was awarded to Harper Crummer who displayed excellent boot skills, awesome defence and offence, and the ability to anticipate the opposition's moves and be there to meet them.  Well done Magpies.
Trainings are run at lunchtimes on Tuesdays for Years 3 & 4.

Wentworth Strikers - Years 5 & 6
Wentworth Strikers 4 v SB Skull Troopers 6
Wentworth Strikers  1 v Kingsway Flare 8
It is great to see the Strikers improving each week; this week we had 2 really good games!  We played extremely well in our second game although the score doesn’t reflect how well we did.  After a quick 10 minutes of goals by the opposition we regained our positions, played really hard and kept the opposition scoreless in the 2nd half.  The whole team can be proud of their efforts.  Player of the Day this week was Annabelle Duncan.
Years 5 & 6 trainings are currently postponed while the College has exams. Trainings will recommence when the College timetable returns to normal.
