Reserve Team Review

MSC Reserve Team 2016

Wow! I've never seen a referee influence a game more for 1 team.. Now that's off my chest let's talk about the game..

The season opener and there was some nervous tension in the change rooms, there was a lot of new faces about to play their first game for MSC. We started well and dominated the first half creating plenty of chances & Reserve Coach - Anthony Christodoulou we finally got our goal through good work from Will & Manikus resulting in Michael Freeman scoring to go in 1-0 at the break. The rooms where a Charlie Jones buzz at half time and the biys where confident we could continue with Jack Wyer the first half pressure,10 minutes into the 2nd however the referee gave a penalty for what…. no one knows, Cooper saved the penalty brilliantly Matthew Irvine and then amazingly, the referee forced a re-take for Cooper moving before the kick, very harsh decision as it appeared that cooper moved Hasan Chehimi sideways which is well and truly in the rules. 5 mins later and they Macauly Soares scored again with a well taken chip over cooper from 20 yards & the boys were rattled down 1-2. I made a few tactical changes & we got back into Dylan Soares the game with great work on the wing by Matty & Tommy leading to the equalizer by Jack.. We pushed them back & missed 2 big chances when William Anderson controversially, the referee didn't blow for a clear foul on Charlie, Raymond Lay allowing their striker in on goal to score for 2-3. In the aftermath of the goal, Hasan (our captain) was sent off for a 2nd yellow for questioning Marko Vrban the referee. I made a couple more changes & a formation re-shuffle and Alan, Mabu & Tommy all created a great build up play that lead to Will Cooper Banks-Fay scoring the equalizer for 3-3 with 5 minutes to go.. Another half chance at De-Almeida Manikus the death & we almost got the 3 points our domination & attacking football deserved. In the end, we didn't lose, we showed heart, character De-Almeida Mabu & determination to never give up and earnt a point, when the referee did Charlie Parker everything he could to take the game away from us - well done boys & we look forward to next week!! C'mon you Seagulls! Matthew Esquivel

Senior Team Review

With Great Anticipation the start of the season was finally here, with a Fantast ic Crowd at Dallas Brookes Park and a beautiful autumn afternoon both sides took to the playing surface in what was anticipated rematch of last season’s champions Mornington versus Clifton Hill who Finished second in State League South East 1, both sides were brimming with New

Signings in their starting line ups.

It was a fantastic start by Mornington and in the first 10 minutes of the game we created two half chances that fell to Craig Smart but unfortunately was unable to convert the chances in to goals, then on 12 minutes a great run down the right wing by Nathan Yole and an intelligent ball inside to Chris Read who then delivered the perfect ball to Shane

Tagliaferro to volley home from 12 yards out to give Mornington a deserved 1 – 0 lead on 15 minutes.

With our defence resilient as per the norm and all of last season and our midfield creating further chances and which fell to Danny Black, Sammy Stewart, and Wayne Buzzer Gordon, then on the stroke of half time and great desire from New International signing Sammy Stewart to drive forward and link up play to be proud of in any standard of football the ball was laid into the path of Wayne Buzzer Gordon by Shane Tagliaferro and with the outside of his right boot guided the ball at pace in to the bottom right hand corner away from the Goal Keepers despairing dive and a deserved 2- 0 nil lead to take into the Half Time break.

The 2nd half would start in a different way with Clifton Hill altering their formation to combat Mornington’s superior domination in Mid Field and they were starting to create half chances themselves,

But on the stroke of 15 minutes into the 2nd half Sammy Stewart broke up play in the Clifton Hill half and fed the ball inside to Craig Smart who waited his time before delivering an inch perfect pass for Chris Read to run onto and open up his account for Mornington on his debut and extend

Mornington into a 3-0 lead with 30 minutes to go in the game.

Club News

The Game went from end to end with half chances going to either side, then Adam Jamieson decided to make his first substitutions of the afternoon and replaced Danny Black with Chris Mckenna and also Paul Mcevoy for Chris Read.

Clifton Hill had very Little left in the tank and with about 15 minutes to go Adam decided to make his third change of the afternoon in replacing Wayne Buzzer Gordon with Big Mohsen Chehimi making his debut at Mornington having moved down from Endeavour with reserve coach Anthony Christodoulou and as forged his way into the First Team squad with some very strong performances in pre season games, and virtually with his first touch made it 4-0 with a close range header, a few moments later Clifton Hill broke away down the left hand side and Mornington gave a free kick away about 30 yards away outside of the box near the clubhouse side of the ground, the ball was pump into the Mornington box but unfortunately Goal Keeper Kris Mcevoy who’s handling had been superb all afternoon spilled the ball and it was stabbed away for a consolation goal to Clifton Hll 4-1 score line.

With the referee starting to check his watch and again some great desire and willingness to chase and harry down defenders from Sammy Stewart and Big Mo Chehimi, Sammy laid the ball in to Shane Tagliaferro to score his 2nd goal of the afternoon and a 5-1 win to Mornington on the

Final Referees whistle of the afternoon.

A Fantastic Result to start the new season and congratulations to all the Goal Scorers and our New Debuting Players.

Our Mornington Racing Club Man of the Match Award went to Sammy Stewart who was outstanding on his Debut, Congratulations Sammy.
