The Nyngan Mids team two played a thrilling game of soccer against Tottenham on the weekend, scoring eight goals in total to win 8-6.
The lead changed through the match with Tottenham leading at the halfway mark but the Nyngan team, coached by Emily Glason, kept their cool throughout to snatch the match.
The goal scorers were Zali Wherritt, Liam Wherritt, Zara Hoare, John Menzies, Sophie Menzies, Tahlia Ryan, Jacob Shone and Jacob Carter.
The team played well together and mounted a solid defence and attack. Brynn Hoare’s tackling and Adam Palmer’s quick hands in the goal were commendable.
Players of the week were Jed Hoare and John Menzies.
The Minis team two (Dragons) were not as successful, losing their match to an aggressive little Tottenham pack.
Lachlan Donnelly, Max Hoare and Jorja Griffiths continued their strong season with great attacking moves all day. Archie Ray was solid in goal with a particularly athletic display.
The players of the week were Alex McLaughlin and Austin Patterson.
The Nyngan seniors won their game 3-0.
Last weekend the entire Nyngan club travelled to Tottenham for a gala day. Some of the results were missed last week, so have been included here.
The Nyngan Minis Bull Ants had an enjoyable day but were unsuccessful in all three games - although they did give their best and the team as a whole has come a long way since the beginning of the season.
Kyle Hall and Ryan Collins did a wonderful job in the goal and Cale Dunn, Ryan Hibbins, Paige Cobcroft, Jade Wye, Hamish Carter and Melanie Bodycott went hard all day. Will Boag put his body on the line to save a good few goals.
All the Bull Ants played well and this week the Encouragement Award went to Ryan Collins and The Player of the Day went to Abbey Carter.
The Mids team one, cached by Stuart Rufus, battled against three other teams. The first game saw a gallant team go down in a close game by four goals against Tottenham. But play by Tom Harris and Clare Carter kept the score close.
You could see there was something special building in game two versus the old rival Gilgandra who was packed with stars. Rachel Hibbins and Hamish Wye were outstanding with shots at goal that nearly shattered the posts. Eventual score - Nyngan went down in a tight game 2-0.
Game three started well for team one with an early goal from the kick-off. With a huge amount of possession and great attacking ability from Bill Gillespie, Stanley Lord and Bodhi Cobcroft who was voted Player of the Day, team one dominated Warren 4-0.
A fantastic day was had by all in the camp. There was great support for the team which kept the games close and entertaining. Team one is starting to find some confidence with superb passing and skills that enable shots on goal. Special mentions to Jordan Rufus, Ellie Smith, Shelby Dunn and Zoe Angrove.
