Western Weekly Wrap

Welcome to the WWW, we go around the grounds to get you everything you need to know on the latest match results, from all the Green and Black teams across A-Leagues, NPL and Futsal. Go United!

It was an epic weekend of football for our Club, with our final trip to Tasmania for the A-Leagues Tasmania Tour, kick-off of the JBNPL season, an intra-club showdown between our NPL U21s and U23s and loads of frantic futsal action. In total, ten teams represented our Club over the weekend, with one further team having play suspended due to weather conditions.

Our A-Leagues teams put on a great show for the locals in Hobart with a double-header at North Hobart Oval to close out this year’s Tasmania Tour. The girls continued with their winning form to defeat Central Coast Mariners and the boys came oh so close to stealing the three points from Sydney FC, but in the end had to settle for a solitary point in what was a courageous show of effort by the team.

Western United 5-0 Avondale

Goal scorers: Devetak, Popovski, Karaiskos, Demissie, Macfarlane

And just like that, pre-season was over and it was time for the U14s to kick off the junior academy season against Avondale FC. The heat forecast for the day didn’t dampen the enthusiasm for both teams as they held each other out to keep the score goalless at the half. The second half however was a different story as the boys found another gear, sharing the goals among five different scorers to sweep away their opponents, setting the path to a solid start to the season.

Western United 2-1 Avondale

Goal scorers: Leban, Di Lorenzo

It was a positive performance from the group on Sunday against Avondale. We threatened early on and looked dangerous in attack which led to two goals from Karl Leban and Matthew Di Lorenzo. A lapse in concentration allowed Avondale back into the game with a goal but the boys showed great character to see out the remainder 2-1.
