Gloucester Scorpions Soccer Club

THE weather gave us a classic “four seasons in one day” morning. The Gloucester Scorpions took to the fields with energy and enthusiasm across all divisions. From our youngest Mini Roos right through to our Senior Men’s team, it was another exciting weekend of football.

Our youngest Scorpions — proudly representing Australia Post Gloucester, Batter & Dough, and CalCo Surveyors — are growing in confidence each week!

Despite CalCo and Australia Post being short on numbers, every player showed fantastic spirit, teamwork, and sportsmanship. The focus on passing and shared play is really beginning to shine through on the field, and it’s exciting to see the improvement in every game.

● U13s – Gloucester Scorpions v Cundletown Jets

Great to be back on home turf in Gloucester after yet another couple of weeks washed out by rain! The Scorpions finally got their chance to face the Cundletown Jets for the first time this season – a long-awaited clash after earlier postponements.

The ground was soft underfoot from all the recent weather, and limited training opportunities meant preparation wasn’t ideal. But the boys showed real resilience and character against a strong Jets side.

It was an evenly contested match from start to finish, with both teams pushing hard and testing each other right to the final whistle.

A 2–2 draw was a fair result in the conditions, and credit goes to both teams for serving up an entertaining and hard-fought game.

● U11s – Gloucester Scorpions vs Taree Wildcats

Well the rain held off for a home game finally. After 5 weeks without a game it took a little while to blow the cobwebs out and get our football brains back on.

But after a slow start we started to slow down, control the ball and look for passes.

We had the wood on the taree side who retreated to a very defensive game with almost everyone back in the goal square making it difficult to find the back of the net…but with time Zeke opened the account…the second half we managed to get a few passes together and the goals come…zeke ending up with 2 and Elijah also getting two.. but most pleasing was some of the assists and hard work for each other which proved to be the difference. Well done team.

Let’s hope we can get in a training session this week and get back to our silkie best.
