The Cranbrook Chronicle Sports pages unfortunate for Andrea Pizzuto who has been amazing all season. In the last three minutes we learnt the hard way not to give away silly free kicks and to fight to the final whistle. We should have won the game. We knew it and the boys in green knew it. However, it’s another unbeaten week for the 2nd XI, leaving us with one win and three draws. Next week we are up against 1st place Knox, who are known to be a very strong side. By Alex Fraser (c) MOTM: Peter Richardson Goal Scorer: Nick Morris-Mikardo 4th XI 2-0 Loss The match against Trinity began on a rousing note with a number of early breaks by Max McGrath and Barnaby Anson-Walsh which resulted in a few shots on goal. Similarly, Cranbrook’s defence was solid with Nathan Lee and Matt Evat denying Trinity many opportunities to score. However, with persistence, Trinity found a way through and much to Cranbrook’s surprise, scored late in the first half. While Jeremy Etzine and Ryan Thompson performed admirably in offence and defence respectively, the result of the second half mirrored the first. Cranbrook unfortunately missed chances to score early on and conceded another goal in the dying moments of the game. 5th XI 1-0 Loss Under the wise guidance of Captain Leonard Topcu, the 5ths played their best match of the season on Saturday. Early on Oliver Storey put pressure on the Trinity defence with some strong contests that led to a close shot on goals by Marcus Wong. In defence, Matt Williams played a very physical game and was fantastic at clearing the ball out of Cranbrook’s half. The second half was an evenly played contest with Cranbrook surviving many surges from the Trinity offence. A freakish long shot unfortunately found its way through the Cranbook’s defence and it was unlucky that Aaron Frumar was unable to equalise moments later. Overall, the team remained positive and focused throughout and certainly deserve a win in the near future. 6th XI Lost 0 - 4 The Cranbrook 6XI turned up at Trinity on Saturday, determined to come away with the first win of the season. A devastating last minute equalizer last week against Waverley loomed in our memories as we took to the field this week. 24 Terry Tang – dribbling in 2nds The contest was fairly evenly matched, however momentary lapses in concentration and discipline to keeping team structure meant two goals were leaked in each half, resulting in a 4-0 loss. The back 4 of Marlon, Saxon, Ted and Toby should be highly commended on their efforts all game in defence. Back to the drawing board at training this week lads as we set our eyes on Knox! 10A Last Saturday the 10As made their way out to Trinity with the hope of bagging their first win of the season. We knew it would be difficult though, seeing that Trinity were most likely the best team in the competition. The first half went well, as we kept the score level with several opportunities up front with Theo, Luca and Kiko; however we were unable to capitalise. The second half, however, was not as successful. They scored two quick goals off free kicks, with their height adding as an advantage. In the dying stages of the match, Simon Rouse made a lengthy run before a beautiful strike, however it just drifted left. Overall, I thought our performance had improved from last week, but we will continue to train harder in the upcoming week. 10B 0-0 The 10Bs played a very good game on the weekend. In the first half, Cranbrook kicked off and within the first 5 minutes Robert Finlayson just missed a goal. At half time, it was 0-0. We came out into the second half playing strong, especially in the midfield with Nicholas Georgas playing a lot of through Kieran Montague – 50-50 for ball in 2nds balls. Unfortunately the final score was 0-0. We were very pleased with how the boys played, but unfortunately, both teams were equal. By Ben Wood 10D Score – 1-1 Goal scorers – Eamon Hugh Veni Vidi Vici – well not so much conquered. Last weekend, the mighty Cranbrook Ds led by deviously charismatic and handsome coach Kelvin held off the powerhouse Trinity at a one all tie. The first half was dominated by Cranbrook but due to lack of communication
Thursday, 30 May 2013 | Term 2, Week 5 Sports pages Reynald Hon – crossing ball in 3rds Antony Robinson – heading in 3rds Eddie Najm – scoring in 1sts in the defence, Trinity snuck in a cheeky goal. The boys quickly retaliated with a beautiful corner kick from striker extravaganza Ryan Emmett to the one and only notorious Eamon Hugh who sealed the deal with his golden knee. After celebrating exuberantly, it was half time. The rest of the game was mostly played in our half with a few breakthroughs from the mid fielders Nick Baildon, Ollie Ritchie and Tom Ho. With extraordinary keeping from Lewis Vincent Hull and exceptional defence from Ben O’Brien and co, we held Trinity off for the rest of the game. Good game well played boys and get ready for Knox. 9A CRA – 2; TRI: 4 Goal scorers – Benjamin Akres (2) The first half of this match belonged to Trinity, with the visitors putting away three unanswered goals. A lack of communication and off-the-ball player tracking gave Trinity plenty of possession and momentum. A pointed discussion with Coach Paris during the interval and a Ben Akres double in the second-half breathed new life into the side. For a while, it looked like a comeback was in the making, with renewed intensity coming to the fore. Try as the boys might, the equaliser could not be found and a late Trinity goal put the result beyond doubt. 9B CRA 0; TRI 5 Cranbrook endured a heavy loss against Trinity this week, with the visitors dominating possession and demonstrating greater intensity and physicality. Cranbrook found it difficult to match the speed at which Trinity played, and conceded two early goals. Trinity’s keeper offered up a number of fumbles but we were unable to capitalise. Once again, Jake Simeonides was busy in the midfield, linking well with Harry Kelsey. David Angles had a solid return to the team, making some spectacular saves in the second half. 8A 2-4 Goal scorers –own goal; A. Phillips The 8As played a strong Trinity side and started well in the first half. We scored two goals, the first was fumbled by the Trinity keeper from a Tom Smith shot; the second a combined effort from Carl Aksel Soerensen and Asha Phillips. Unfortunately, immediately after we scored a goal, Trinity struck back and equalised. In the second half we lost momentum and watched Trinity add two more goals. A disappointing result from a very sound start. 8B 0-7 The team didn’t show some of the talent that training had alluded too, and allowed a coordinated Trinity team to run at will. 25
