FOCUS ON: U13 BOYS
U13 Boys round 1: GGG 0 - 3 NWW Galaxy got off to a bright start, and for the first five minutes looked like they would dominate the match. 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: U15 GIRLS
U15 Girls Round 2 Saturday’s match report: LML 6 – 1 GGG Our U15 girls had a pretty tough game against Loddon Mallee, who are always a challenging opposition in the girls’ teams, but the Galaxy girls acquitted themselves very well. Under a lot of pressure in their own half, Galaxy still achieved plenty of success playing the ball out from deep in the back and finding options through the middle. Going forward was difficult against a well organised and determined Loddon defence, but still our girls managed a number of good chances on goal finding it difficult to put them away though. Loddon Mallee were not so forgiving and struck early with two quick goals inside the first five minutes. That took the wind out of Galaxy's sails for a while but late in the half they rallied and took back some momentum. The second half was more promising from Galaxy and the match was much more even than the scoreboard would suggest - in terms of technical play. Both teams displayed good composure in possession, but when it came to goals, Loddon Mallee were just a bit too big and fast for our girls. This, however, is the VCL so pushing the score to the back and looking at how Galaxy played, everyone should be happy with what was a good performance under fairly tough conditions. U15 Girls Round 2 Sunday’s match report: GGG 2 – 1 SBT Both teams in this game played well and strived to achieve a tactical display in keeping with FFA's directive. And they did just that, making for a fine example of football. In a match that could have gone either way, it was Galaxy who took the points with some great pressure applied in the opposition half when chasing the ball resulting in two deserved goals to the Blue tongues one. Persistence from the previous days match clearly payed off and this time the girls were rewarded for their efforts, playing out and building with plenty of space when in possession and closing down quickly when losing the ball.
A great effort and good character shown after Saturday. Well done girls.
Injury Prevention - Physiohealth tips:
Injury Prevention Tip: Muscle cramps are commonly caused by dehydration. To reduce the risk of cramping it’s vital to consume sufficient fluids before, during and after exercise.
Half Time in football should mean you should consume more fluids than just solely consume oranges and lollies.
