SOSUNS Soccer Players Battled On!
Scott with another tricky move
In the energy sapping heat of an Adelaide autumn which confusingly thought it was still the middle of summer, our SOSUNS soccer players, Tom, Darrin, Scott and James battled through game after game, playing their best and enjoying every minute.
The competition was tough with Queensland in particular fielding very strong sides but our athletes showed great spirit in never giving up.
Darrin in the thick of things
Tom was a very excited winner of bronze in his division while Scott, James and Darrin played hard to come away with 6th place in the mixed division.
James in full flight
The atmosphere at the soccer was brilliant with a grandstand set up for spectators and music playing over the loudspeakers. in between games spectators were treated to athletes dancing on the pitch and the inspiarational singing of Georgia Horgan, sister of opening and closing ceremony enterainer, Tori.
Go Darrin!
Marie Simmons, Gavin Backhouse and Paul Phelan accompanied the soccer athletes as coaches and carers. Despite minimal sleep, all three volunteers enthusiastically agreed that the National Games were a privilege to attend.
Hornsby PCYC Football Update
February 17, 2010 by deb · Leave a Comment
Everyone is really excited to be back and playing football and are training hard for the competition in Sydney South early next month.
We’ve welcomed a few new faces to football - welcome Jack and welcome back Joshua. Bruce is doing a terrific job of blowing the whistle from the sidelines as he is still recovering from surgery. James spectacularly missed a shot into an open goal during the game this week - to the anguish of fans watching. The twins (Jack’s brothers) are whizzing around the court like maniacs but are still to get the better of Alex.
Training is on at Hornsby PCYC, 6pm-7pm on Wednesdays during school terms. If you would like to join you are most welcome! For more information contact Sabine Schreuder on 9456 6887.
