On Saturday the 9th August we were fortunate to have all our teams playing at home.
The day started with the U/12’s and U/8 kicking off early.
With pressure mounting on the U/12 team who have been struggling to record a win for sometime now the home ground advantage was just what they needed. Cheered on by parents and the U/11 team they played like the superstars they are and beat Alberton 2-1. Coach Jason had a few tense moments but it does need to be said that the 2-1 score was not a true reflection on the game. Our boys had plenty opportunities to thump more goals home. They were all over Alberton. Well Done boys – YOU MADE IT HAPPEN!!!!
The U/8 continued to improve and have become a team to watch going forward. As the game progressed Benoni Northers were not going to make it easy for them. The boys showed their strength in character as Benoni kept coming back at them. The Rovers boys didn’t let up with continual pressure and eventually what can be described as the goal of the day when Matthew Royal had a crack at goals from 25m away and as they say in the classics LAADDDDUUUUUMMMMMAAAAAA!!!!! The U/8 sealed it pushing the score to 4-2 and putting it out of reach for Benoni Northern’s boys! At this rate the U/8 team will be pushing to move up to Division 1 next year.
The U/11’s took on the might of Scaw Metals from Germiston. The Scaw boys came into the game undefeated and in their last encounter thrashed Rovers 7-0. With the heavy load of the previous encounter to carry the boys went in with one thing in mind, revenge!! WHAT A GAME!!! The game was tense to say the least, Scaw managed to get one past our keeper, 1-0 to Scaw. Then after what can only be described as “Nuclear” pressure our boys equalized. The score stayed 1-1 up until the last few minutes when the Scaw strikers made a break and slotted the winning goal. The boys didn’t give up and kept the pressure on inspiring the U/7 & U/8 who had gathered on the side to shout for Rovers. As I said What a game! The boys were unfortunate not to equalize in the end, but it needs to be said, well done Scaw!
Our youngest team the U/7’s continued their undefeated season beating Alberton 3-1. The boys started the game in a manner that has been signature of this team for the past 2 seasons, Attack! Attack! Attack! This resulted in the first goal coming early in the game. The mid field has started gelling nicely with the strikers and pushed the ball through for what became the second goal. There was a lot of pressure in the second half and Alberton did not make it easy when the scored to put the score at 2-1. Later in the half the boys again showed what they were made of and hammered home the winner sealing the score at 3-1. WELL DONE BOYS. 3 games left and still UNDEFEATED!!!!!
Thank you to all who supported us on the day. We will continue to make the game as fun as we can.
THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR ROVERS FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
