The kids got plenty of game time and a trophy from North Coast Football.

The Strikers canteen did a brisk trade, thanks to the organisation from Leanne Cooper and Beth Cassidy, along with help from parents.

The last football game of the season for the Under-16 boys showed the progress they have made over the year.

They played the top team of their competition, Boambee, who had previously scored 10 goals off the Strikers and were expecting the same this time.

The Strikers kept them to 6-0 with several close scoring chances ourselves.

A valiant effort all year by a young team for their division.

The Strikers Under-14 boys team were confident of a win against the Boambee Jets side, that has struggled all season.

After the first goal to the Strikers, it was one way traffic to the Boambee goal and it was interesting to see the lads’ capabilities to find space and shoot from anywhere in the attacking half.

With shots coming from anywhere at anytime, it made it extremely difficult for the Boambee defence, but they showed composure and never gave up.

The Strikers Under-16 girls were in full force against Boambee, with their shots coming from both wings and drives up the centre of the park.

Good to see them enjoying their football.
