The girls were absolutely phenomenal on the pitch today! Georgia was on fire up front, with Rosie and Ruby showing incredible skill and determination to keep the pressure on. Olly and Lillie added flair and energy, making every attack count. And while the goals were flying in, it was Isla, Sofia, and Jessica who quietly anchored the team with rock-solid defending—calm, composed, and totally unshakeable. Their teamwork and spirit were something special to watch Well done girls an unbelievable performance
Coach Dave said : Excellent debuts for our 5v5 U10 Blacks for Aleigha, Isla and Paige.
The experienced heads of Heidi, Liv and Naomi welcomed the new players on some of their first ever run out at Cormack Park. We had no keeper but this never stopped the girls from dominating the ball and playing great football. Debut goals for Aleigha and Isla and all the girls got on the scoresheet today. Did me proud with exceptional football by the youngstars. Im a very happy man this afternoon, well done all the girls.

Snooker game, passing of coloured balls into goals from different angle, can choose any order but can only touch ball once. Time restricted: 90 seconds
Example: Score Red, Green and Pink = 10 Points
Highest score was 21, all balls potted apart from black by Olivia Donald, top potting. I stand to be corrected but to my records Naomi was the only girl who potted the black.
11. Tug of war
Due to 2 call offices two teams fought hard under difficult circumstances with just 3 heroic warriors. The teams and format were selected by AI, so apologies if anyone thought they were unbalanced.
Team 1 defeated Team 2, Team 3 and Team 4 defeated Team 3, Team 2 and was a draw between Teams 1 and 4, the girls took the strain for a decider and Heidi Macklin-Brown, Jessica Duncan, Olivia Donald and Sofia Ramsay were victorious in hard fought battle versus Aleigha, Liv, Rosie(Ruby as stand in) & Sammy.

Huge appreciation to Cammy Bruce, Craig Macklin, David Donald, David Littlejohn, Oleg Jurgilevics and Paul Carroll for assisting on the stations.
Huge thanks to all parents who cheered girls on, kept kids occupied, watered & entertained the young ones and got involved in the fun tug-o-war activities.
Coach Dave said : Congratulations Rosie for our first POTM, well deserved, it’s a great achievement to score 5 goals in a match. You know you’ve done well when your coach let’s you sit in the front seat on the way home. Well done, great goals, great positioning and amazing footwork. All the other girls were totally awesome, even though they were exceptional it’s difficult to beat a five goal haul.
Wow what a performance from the girls, you’d never believe this was their first league match. The Westdyke keeper made about 20 wonderful saves and had a shout for MOTM herself.
The Hermes girls were inspired and relentless wave after wave of attacking force. 5 star performance from Rosie, Georgia her usual trix, Ruby shone bright, goal of the season contender for Sofia.
Olly ran the show and demonstrated excellent control and distribution, Naomi worked tirelessly and had some excellent touches. The great wall of Isla and Sofia were resolute throughout and our keepers Jessica and Sammy were incredible.
Also big shout out to Heidi and Liv who showed their support from the touchline and will be back in action next weekend, absolute superstars.
Well done girls an unbelievable performance
