Hi All

Well the weekend was not disappointing with the Premier Women winning there Porritt Cup match against against Carlton/Redcliffs 4 - 1.

With Selwyn scored first, which was then followed by a goal from Carlton/Redcliffs, from a shot to the right of the Selwyn Goalkeeper who attempted to slide into the oncoming ball, which managed to get underneath her and into the goal. With the score at 1 all, Selwyn seemed to up the tempo scoring a further two excellent goal and coming away with a well deserved win, thus taking them straight through to the Porritt Cup Final.

The Premier Men were not so luck, although they did not disappoint the Selwyn Supporters, after a hard fort game they came away with a 4 all draw.

With the score at 1 nil going into the second half, Carlton/Redcliffs managed to slot an equalizing goal which was then followed by three superb Selwyn goals, make the score 4 - 1. Unfortunately as the game continued Carlton/Redcliffs were awarded two consecutive penalty strokes with only a couple of minutes to go, making the final score 4 all.

Disappointing to Selwyn who had controlled the majority of the game and deserved a win.

Hi All

This weekend will see both the Premier Men & Women competing in must win matches at Porritt Park.

Games are as follows:

3.45pm - Selwyn Premier Women verses Carlton/Redcliffs

This will live up to being an epic clash between the 2 top teams in the Women's Competition. This weekend is the final round of pool play in the Porritt Cup with this working out to be a semi final with the winner going on to the final next weekend.

4.00pm - Selwyn Premier Men verses Carlton/Redcliffs

The men will be looking to secure 3 points in this top of the table clash. With a solid performance last weekend against Harewood, a win here will see the team take a 5 point lead in the competition entering into the final round.

Come along and support your club and cheer on the two Selwyn Premier Teams.
