Match report from Rnd 4

Russell Vale 3 v 0 Tarrawanna

A couple of weeks ago it was the tale of two brothers, this time it was the tale of two corners both courtesy of Harrison Benn. Baxter Bowler Prentice was on hand to capitalise on the first one to give the Cobras a deserved 1-0 HT lead. In the second half more chaos resulted in the goalmouth from an in swinging corner that saw Christian Baade Mortimer hit the underside of the bar but Jordan Errington was perfectly placed to net the rebound. Jordan Errington’s graft up front was rewarded again when he robbed a defender of the ball inside the 18 yard box and finished well to make it 3-0.

Match report from Rnd 3: Warilla 1 v 7 Russell Vale

With the first and second choice goalkeepers both missing for the game things were looking rather difficult before KO. Then Clayton Walker once again made the ultimate sacrifice by wearing the keepers shirt for the good of the team, in the last of [...]

Round 3, Sunday 29^th April 2012

Today the Russell Vale VIPERS woman’s over 30′s had their second game of the season against Tarrawanna at Tarrawanna Oval…

The Vipers were keen to make the most of the wet weather conditions to see if all the extra training that Paul Dunham (coach) had been applying was going to pay off against a very strong experienced Tarrawanna side.

I realise Wednesday is Anzac Day but respectively I would still like to do training at the usual time Wednesday evening. I fully understand some players may have other commitments. On Saturday 28 April we are away to last season’s Division IV Champions – Warilla, not sure of the KO time yet but will [...]

Hi Guys,

The long awaited start to the new season did not disappoint and for once it was Russell Vale that were first out of the traps with Hayley Waller (Capt) opening the scoring in under 2 minutes. From then on it was an avalanche of chances and goals as the Cobras knocked in 11 past Dapto but full credit to our opponents they never gave up and even managed to pull back a couple of goals.

Today the Russell Vale VIPERS woman’s over 30′s had their first hit out of the season against Oak Flats at the Cawley Park Cauldron…

Oak Flats had all the looks of a tough opponent but the Vipers stepped up to the challenge with some very solid defence, With Bonser in the full back position & Tracey helping out in the other full back position we held steady with the super goalie Sheree keeping them at bay with a 5 min free shot at goal that did not touch the net……After few free kicks that obviously ref decided was a hand ball not a boob ball from the Russell Vale side , we steeped up to break the defense of the Oakflats side, both Rachael & Jen had a couple of shots at goal but were unlucky not to put it into the back of the net. With the end of 1st half approaching fast with no goals scored Oak Flat got a pure lucky shot passed the defence & goalie to put them up 1 nil at half time…….

Russel Vale v’s Coledale – Friday 13^th April 2012

Well it was the first game of the season and the score definitely did not reflect the game. While we came out slightly stunned in the first half and let in 4 goals (and nearly gave me a heart attack), we fielded a very different team in the second half. Even Coledale’s coach commented on how well the girls played in the second half and how unlucky we were not to score, even though we let in another 2 goals.
