Under 6’s
19th May
On Sunday
19th May the Under 6s Storm side travelled from Coffs Harbour to Grafton for the
West Lawn Tigers Football Club Gala day.
The boys
represented The Northern Storm club under the nickname Tornadoes and played 4
games on the day.
Isaac,
Liam, Toby, Barton, Logan, Melchor, Jaspar & Zar all played great
football & we rotated the boys to keep them all fresh for the 4 games with plenty
of goals scored by our lads. It was a brilliant sunny day and the boys all
gathered much needed game time experience in there first year of football. The
boys all received a medal for there attendance which they displayed to their
proud parents.Teams from all over the region represented there clubs with
distinction.
I would
like to thank Our Club “The Storm”, Coach Dylan Sambrook, the parents
of our boys & The Westlawn Tigers Football Club for a great family day
and a successful endorsement for the sport of Football in our region.
29th June
After a rainy week the weather
held out on Saturday morning for the 9.00 Kickoff at York St for the Under
6s between Northern Storm & Coffs United & Orara.
Northern Storm fielded 4 sides on
the day with no subs. Coffs United fielded 3 sides & Orara fielded the 1
side.
Even with the boggy pitch & mud
there where plenty of goals scored on the day. Zahlee our only under 6 girl led
the boys with a bag of goals 6 in total.
Well done Zahlee I’m sure the
Matildas Aussie ladies will be taking note in years to come.
Well done everyone on a great
morning of Football. The turn out was great as it was the start of School
holidays.
Keep practising & the hard work
shows improvement.

29th June
A challenging win this
morning against a much improved Bellingen side.
The first half saw some
great passages of play with the first goal starting from our backs, through the
halves, out to a wide receiver and into the strikers to finish.
Put away those early
chances and take some of the pressure off the team is the message from today's
game as well as controlling the ball and looking for options out wide from
the back half of the field
We could/should have
been in front by three or four at half time, stay calm in front of goal,
get balanced then belt your shot
No reserves led to a few
tired legs in the second half and some sloppy play which allowed the
oppositions 2 goals - keep running, move to an open option and strike your
passes with conviction
Three second half goals,
all well thought out and executed gave us the cushion but twice the opposition
came within one goal of drawing even.
All in all another win
for the good guys and we maintain our position atop of the table - note every
team will be more determined to knock us off the perch. MOTM this week with a
solid performance and 2 goals to boot - Luca
22nd June
Well with six of our regulars out this weekend we took on Boambee
with ten on the park. The emphasis on today's game was to maintain possession
and that's what we did for the vast majority of the fifty minutes playing time.
Solid work all around the field with some fantastic movement of both ball and players
resulted in a solid win
Plenty on the scoresheet including Maya at her lucky field, Tom
from 35m + out, Jesse with a great header, Jonah with a left footer, Ethan
slotted a brace, but alas poor Ben as hard as he tried he couldn't seem to find
the back of the net, hitting the woodwork three times and pulling great saves
from an ever tiring keeper - you know your more than due Ben
Back to the top of the table after today's performance but let's
not rest on our laurels as we all know there are some pretty tough games ahead
from here to seasons' end.
MOTM - for sheer persistence, determination and great running -
Ben

Under 7’s
13th July
Well, well, well
What a fantastic day!
Boys your improvement
over the last few months has been fantastic. Well done lads.
Within my game I saw
boys dribbling from one end to the other and scoring; a hunger for the ball;
great moves which saved goals. I heard stories from the two other games of
great ball work, passing and the marking of the other team. Again well
done boys.
Parents, thanks to all lending a hand today, from
setting up fields, time keeping and cleaning up after the game, Thank You.
A special thank you to Tracee (Flynn's mum) for selling the raffle
tickets today.
