Eight minutes in though, after some sustained pressure in Galaxy's defensive third, Wanderers were awarded a penalty after a late challenge brought down one of their forwards in the box. With their tails up, Wanderers put a lot of pressure on and Galaxy found it difficult to move the ball out of their own half. To their credit, our boys were persistent and focussed on playing out despite the pressure but, unfortunately for the score line, some indecision in the back line at 19 minutes led to a dangerous turn over just outside the box and the Wanderers' forward wasted no time, darting to the edge of the box and produced a fine shot into the top right hand corner of the net. Not to be deterred, Galaxy kept working hard, sticking to the curriculum objectives and at times displaying some terrific patches of possession and movement, showing what they are capable of. Half time 0 - 2. The second half again started brightly for Galaxy with the boys stepping up a notch, determined to turn the game. Despite some great build up play, chances went begging and Wanderers again scored against the run of play. Wanderers were in control from then on but Galaxy didn't once drop their heads, instead working hard to continue playing out from the back and holding the ball, though Wanderers made that difficult, putting pressure on every Galaxy touch of the ball. Forget the score, this was a great start from the U13 Boys. We can expect to see many impressive performances through the season from these boys. FUN: DID YOU KNOW? - Only three teams have won the FA Cup without conceding a single goal during the entire competition. Don't expect to see any footage though. The teams were The Wanderers, who won it in 1873, Preston North End in 1889, and Bury in 1903. - The only two players to have scored in four consecutive finals tournaments in 1958, 1962, 1966 & 1970 are Pele of Brazil and Uwe Seeler of West Germany. -The record number of World Cup career goals is 15 by Brazilian forward Ronaldo. www.greatergeelonggalaxy.sportingpulse.net www.facebook.com/greatergeelonggalaxy email: [email protected] Focus on: U13 Boys - Action Snaps GGG vs NWW www.greatergeelonggalaxy.sportingpulse.net Facebook.com/GreaterGeelongGalaxy email: [email protected] FOCUS ON: U13 BOYS’ QUESTIONAIRRE Name: Tomi Krasic Number: 7 Preferred Position: Mid or Wings Favourite all-time football player: Neymar Jr If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Brazil Favourite band: One Direction Pink or One Direction: One Direction Name: Thomas Hidic Number: 2 Preferred Position: Striker Favourite all-time football player: Santi Carzola If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Manchester United Favourite band: Cold Play Pink or One Direction: One Direction Name: Erindi Markolli Number: 11 Preferred Position: Center Mid Favourite all-time football player: Eden Hazard If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Barcelona Favourite band: The Beatles Pink or One Direction: One Direction Name: Eros Markoulis Number: 14 Preferred Position: Left Wing Favourite all-time football player: Messi If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Barcelona Favourite band: The Doors Pink or One Direction: One Direction www.greatergeelonggalaxy.sportingpulse.net Facebook.com/GreaterGeelongGalaxy email: [email protected] FOCUS ON: U13 BOYS’ QUESTIONAIRRE Name: Daniel Serra Number: 6 Preferred Position: Defensive Midfield Favourite all-time football player: Diego Maradona If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Barcelona Favourite band: AC/DC Pink or One Direction: Pink Name: Tristan McGrath Number: 11 Preferred Position: 7, 11, 19, ANY Favourite all-time football player: Messi If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Chelsea Favourite band: PSY Pink or One Direction: Pink Name: Matija Tataj Number: 76 Preferred Position: Defensive Midfield Favourite all-time football player: Mate Dugandzic If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Croatia Favourite band: AC/DC Pink or One Direction: Pink Name: Max Waugh Number: 21 Preferred Position: Center Back Favourite all-time football player: Steven Gerrard If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Liverpool Favourite band: Rock/Pop Pink or One Direction: Pink www.greatergeelonggalaxy.sportingpulse.net Facebook.com/GreaterGeelongGalaxy email: [email protected] FOCUS ON: U13 BOYS’ QUESTIONAIRRE Name: John Perks Number: 5 Preferred Position: Center Back Favourite all-time football player: Steven Gerrard If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Liverpool Favourite band: Maroon 5 Pink or One Direction: Pink Name: Leo Hanley Number: 13 Preferred Position: Left Back Favourite all-time football player: Sergio Ramos If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Barcelona Favourite band: The Beatles Pink or One Direction: Pink Name: Matthew Stosic Number: 3 Preferred Position: Left Back Favourite all-time football player: Lampard If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Chelsea Favourite band: AC/DC Pink or One Direction: Pink Name: Jake Krilcic Number: 4 Preferred Position: Attacking Midfield Favourite all-time football player: Iniesta If you could play for any team (club or country) in the world, who would you play for?: Liverpool Favourite band: AC/DC Pink or One Direction: Pink www.greatergeelonggalaxy.sportingpulse.net
