FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome back to Princess Road for our penultimate game of 2020. This week we say hello
to our friends from Kingsley Westside who are enjoying their first year in State League
football.
We have been so lucky to be able to play football at all this year and whilst the intensity has
not always been evident, it is great to be able to play and watch others play each week. Our
results have been disappointing from a first team standing but Danny Cain should be
congratulated in his first season as senior coach as it is obvious the team spirit has been
great all year and the boys have tried to play good football each week.
Richy has also done a great job with the reserves side and we thank them both for their
efforts this season and start looking forward to better days next year.
This year has been difficult for the club financially because of the three months income we
lost when things were shut down from March. Despite that, the club is growing stronger
every day with our juniors equipped with so much new gear for training. Next target is to
have new goals for next season for the Mini Roos teams. Many thanks to Ron and Liz for
their tireless work and assistance in obtaining this new gear, great to put in our new
storeroom.
A new source of income for the club has just arrived with the introduction of “Containers for
Change” by the State Government. You will notice a large recycle bin for all your cans and
bottles. Should you wish to donate your items to Balga’s Fee Free Football program it will
help us continue our work with the kids of the area. It is also possible to take your cans and
bottles direct, from Octaber 1st, to the City of Stirling collection point at 257 Balcatta Road,
Balcatta and quote Balga soccer Club ID number C10276065 and we will receive the
payments direct.
Next week we are also at home to finish off the season. We invite all past members and
players to come down and celebrate another good year for the club. Also in attendance will
be many of our sponsors whom without we could not exist. Trust you can all say hello and
thank you to them all.
Enjoy your afternoon in Balga, Go the Black & Greens!

LAST WEEK'S GAME
Canning City vs Balga
Canning City are hot on their heels after a 5-2 win against Balga at Burrendah Reserve. It
was a perfect start for Canning, and their coach Chris Finlayson, who was on the sidelines
after a back operation, with Josh Wallhead curling home a corner on six minutes. But Balga
levelled sixty seconds later, Kristian Despotovski on target. But the home side regained the
lead on 36 minutes, with Ryan Moran curling home a set-piece. Further goals after the break
from Moran, Jack Murray and Emmanuel Langoya gave the hosts a well-deserved win, while
Despotovski second a second for Balga late.
“We changed our style of play to give us a more attacking structure which worked well in
midweek, but really gave us the edge to beat Balga for the first time in 39 years,” City
assistant coach David Scragg said. “But more importantly it sets us up for the final two
games of the second phase. We have a full squad to pick from next week, positions are up
for grabs as all the lads want to be part of the push for finals football.”

RESERVES REPORT
First of all, a massive thank you to Mark Higgins for stepping up yet again to take the team and assist. It is nice
to bounce off a like-minded football soul.
We won three on the bounce two weeks ago against Kelmscott doing the double over them - they weren’t
easy to break down but once we were in front we took control of the game winning 3-1 with goals from
Brandon Del Fabbro, Anthony Ruhumuriza and Michael Maiolo with our third.
Midweek against Curtin was an exiting encounter for the neutral, drawing 3-3. A mention of Dom Manno who
scored a hat-trick - his first was a ‘rocket-shot’ and his third was a cracking touch to score which levelled the
game. Both teams had chances to win but on a reflection, a draw was probably a fair result.
At the weekend we drew 0-0 with Canning. We were not at our best in the first half, the strong rain and wind
making it incredibly difficult to play the way we wanted to - and Canning capitalised on this. We played better
in the second half. Three points would have been nice and would have put us in a strong position for a top-4
finish. But we can take a lot from the fact that we are unbeaten in five games.
Today will be a difficult game against a strong Kingsley side who have only lost one game all season. We will
have to be at our best to get a good result.
Good luck to the first team and U18’s.
May the game be played in the right spirit- enjoy the afternoon - see you in the club-house after the game.

DIVISION TWO – PHASE TWO, ROUND FOUR PREVIEW
In the State League Division Two top six we have four teams still in the mix for the title, but Carramar
Shamrock Rovers are in the best position, sitting three points ahead of Wanneroo City, while
Dianella White Eagles and Joondalup City are still in contention, so like the other two leagues,
Saturday is going to be massive. Our ‘Match of the Round’ takes us to Grandis Park, where third
placed Dianella White Eagles take on leaders Carramar Shamrock Rovers.
The Eagles lost ground on the top two after back-to-back 0-0 draw’s against MUM and Joondalup
City last week, but Miki Vujacic said both were fair results. “Yes, it was a disappointing draw last
week, and on Tuesday against Murdoch, but in all fairness the draw was the right result,” he
explained. “Both teams had some clear-cut chances, and the conditions were horrendous for
football, so if either team lost, they would have felt hard done by. Unfortunately for us, we really
needed the three points to stay in touch but it wasn't to be.”
Vujacic said the trip to Rovers is another challenge, but a win will send the title race to the final
round. “Grandis Park is a tough place to go, and Carramar Shamrock are a tough team to play, so the
odds are stacked in their favour,” he said. “They've been consistent for most of the season, so we'll
be going there hoping to disrupt their rhythm a bit. For us we need the win (and other results to go
our way) to have any chance of finishing top, so we'll be ready to have a good crack at them.”
In other top six games second placed Wanneroo City make the trip to Walter Padbury Reserve to
take on Gosnells. If Jess Bridgeman’s side don’t get all three points it could hand the title to Rovers,
but they are in good form after a big 7-2 win against MUM in midweek. Gosnells are still looking for
their first point in the series, but a win in this one will keep their top four hopes alive. In the final
game Murdoch University Melville entertain Joondalup City at Murdoch University Arena. A top four
spot is still achievable for both sides so this one will be another tight encounter.
In the bottom six, Morley-Windmills must get points to stay in the running for a finals place when
they meet Kelmscott Roos. Canning City are at home to Curtin University, while Balga meet Kingsley
Westside.
