Devils win final match of season 3-1

Take a bow Devils for your good performances throughout the season. This week you beat a much-improved Rosetta team to cap off a winning year. One shot hit the post, Millie took another tumble amid the goals, Nadia buzzed like a wasp, Rhianna ran and ran and ran (like AJ), Bijou watched from the sidelines - the juggernaut rolls on...

And were the parents excited? Definitely! There was more shouting than usual from the sidelines this week ("...Kick a goal Anna") - check out the parents in the photo below. Special thanks to coach Graham for his help this year plus the nicely-chosen end of season lollies.

1-nil win overTaroona White

The one and only Millie scores the Devil's one and only goal - straight through a goal square packed with Taroona players. Well done everyone - more photos to come. See you at next week's game against Rosetta at Cadbury's. (PS: Click on the pictures for a bigger version)

Nil-all draw but oh so close...

Nadia's kick in the first two minutes was whisker-close to the goal in this week's clash with Princes Street but alas, victory eluded us. The Devils maintained pressure throughout the game but couldn't score. Millie was one of those who took a tumble or two but no harm was done. All up, it was a great game and an honourable draw.

Meanwhile, for something funny, have a look at this Japanese Binocular Soccer match from YouTube...

Devils overpower Albuera Street, 4-nil

What a fine match to watch on a sunny winter's day. The team played really well against a good team, most of whom seemed taller than the Devils. Millie scored three goals and Bella one. You can see Millie kicking one of them in the photo below.

Millie and the forwards got strong support from a tenacious AJ and further back, mid-fielders Rosie and Alice.

Alice Cox kept pushing us into attack with strong kicks and those l-o-o-ong throw-ins of hers. Mae helped out with useful defensive clearing shots. Our goalkeepers this week were Bijou and Nadia, both of whom did a good job. Bijou was kept particularly busy in the first half. We were sorry to hear about Lillie's broken wrist - hope it gets better soon.
