Mercury Bay Area School Senior Boys (Mixed) V Cambridge High School
Score MBAS 6 – CHS 3
We hosted Cambridge High School Invincibles on Saturday. The Invincibles are an all Year 13 team. After exchanging goals regularly, we led 4-3 at halftime. We then used their superior speed and fitness to win 6-3. There were strong efforts all round by Elijah Bianchi, Samantha Chamberlain and Shanti Wilson. Goal scorers were Joel Iggulden (2), Lui Yamada, Justus Gessler, Ben Collins and Noah Palmer. With one game left, we are second on the points table on goal difference, needing a win and another result to go our way to win our division.
Junior Mixed Team
Saturday saw our Junior team go down 2:1 away to Hamilton Bronze. This week was our team’s turn to succumb to a combo of travel, illness and injury, up against a Hamilton side that seemed unusually well equipped. There was a silver lining however, as thanks to a heroic battle led by our player of the day goalkeeper Alfie Harris, we head into the final game of the season with a chance to still win the league. Crazy results elsewhere aside, it should be decided in our final home game against Thames, with Mercury Bay needing to beat their rivals to knock Thames off the top. See you all at the Sports Park this Saturday for a 10am kick off. Junior Mixed need to win their final game
The 8th Grade team played their last games for the season on Saturday, 30 August at our Junior Festival in Thames. The weather was fine but the grounds were muddy from the previous day’s rain and the kids had fun sliding around. The festivals are a great day where we get to play 30th of August, here we go again!
Players of the Day were Lex Battaerd and Wallace Roberts. Both of these boys had fantastic games. Our photo today is of the team and our supporters.
