Dayboro Dingoes 2 vs Albany Creek 0
A Wednesday night catch up game held at Albany Creek, what a game due to the fact that most of our kids are usually in bed before the game finished. A great excuse for a lot of take-away dinners.
First half saw Tyler in goal, front row was Reece, Claire and Sos work well fantastically in the forwards and beginning to demonstrate predictability in their team-mates. Anticipation showed the skill that is now being reflected in their games. Fifteen minutes into the first half we saw our first goal by Sos, Our centres and defenders worked really well together. Stevie-Lee, Micah Sticks and Danielle worked really well in defence throughout the game. The end of the first half saw Dayboro up 1-0. Anticipation flowed. They ready for a win. So close for a few weeks, saw Dayboro hungry, nothing was going to take this one off them.
Second half saw Sos as goalie. Again we defended well and it wasn't long before the leg work of Max, Jacinta and Reece paid off. Reece was able to score, yahooooooooooooo we were up 2-0. The team played fantastically as a team, and Paul's hard work is paying off. Visual sight of skill level improvement particularly from those players who attended the soccer camp held by Chelsea F.C. over the holidays. What a great time they had. You can never get too much soccer - just ask any of them. Huge amount of encouragement from the sideline helped to carry Dayboro through to victory. Well done team.

Chelsea Development Camp, 6 - 10 July 2009
The Squad: Ben, Matt, Kevin (from Chelsea), Elliott, Max, Joe, Gabe, Sos, Jak
Oli, Edde, Tyler, Mat, Reecey, Tahra and India
In the second week of the school holidays, from the 6 to 10 July, fifteen players from Dayboro participated in a 5 day Chelsea Development Camp at our very own Colin Thiele Park. The squad trained for 3 hours each day under Coach Kevin, who is a qualified coach from the UK. Kevin is in Australia for a couple of months (in the English off-season) with a group of coaches from Chelsea conducting courses around Queensland organised by Football Coaching International.
The boys and girls were thoroughly entertained for the week with a mixture of drills, technique development and small sided games. The squad represented their club excellently and their behaviour, enthusiasm and skill was praised by their coach. Congratulations to all those players.
If you read the U10, 11 and 12 match reports below you will see how each player from the camp has made valuable contributions to their team's performances since the camp.
At the end of the week each player was presented with a Chelsea FC Certificate and Medal and Kevin was presented with a Dayboro Dingoes club shirt to show off to all his mates back in the UK.
Some might see this as an opportunity of a life time, but with any luck the camp is likely to return next year!

U 6 Match Report - 18 July 2009
Dayboro U6 v Samford's Chelsea.
After returning back to the Soccer fields after a well deserved 2 week break, Dayboro turned on the Sunshine and the day was a corker! The under 6 team, full of energy so early in the morning, took on the Samford team Chelsea.
With 4 players aside and 2 subs, the team was focused and eager to score… With a belly stop by Kaitlin Matthews, nifty little tricks by Rusty Russian, Indigo Patterson giving it her best, 2 outstanding goals by Jack Bracher, and our usual hero’s Jordon Salmon & Ryan Linney scoring another couple to keep us ahead of the enemy…. You could say the team was on FIRE!
Player of the day went to Jordon Salmon.

U 7 Match Report - 18 July 2009
Dayboro U7 v Samford's Spurs Yellow.
What an exciting match this was! We met this team earlier in the season and they were a formidable opponent at that encounter. Today's match challenged the skill, fitness and optimism of the U7s - and they proved themselves courageous and motivated.
The first few minutes were fast paced, with at least 5 journeys up and down the field. It was not long before Samford scored their first goal. Catie was attacking early and got close to a shot at goal. Kain was in great form defending the Dayboro goal. Sam was also active and dribbled the ball the length of the field several times, with some near misses at goal shots. The Dayboro players are becoming very practiced in coming off and going on the field to relieve other players.
Several more Samford goals followed, with Dayboro never giving up or failing to give less than 100% effort. Luke was quickly dodging Samford players with great skill, only to be knocked to the ground- but he was quickly up and back in the game. Blake sent some passing shots to other players, and showed his skills in defence. Just prior to half time, the Dayboro players united to form a wall of defence. This proved impenetrable despite Samford's practiced set plays.
At half time players were overheard trying to convince the coach not to take them off. They were all keen to be in the action. Alison's oranges must have had something in them, because after half time the team were unstoppable! Hamish made a run dribbling the ball the entire length of the field, dodging at least 3 opposition players. His shot at goal was so close. Cameron was on the prowl, looking for loose balls and defending well. The ball was in the Dayboro half and a goal seemed inevitable. Suddenly Luke scored and the supporters errupted in cheers! Then the floodgates opened and Jayde followed up with 3 of his own. All agreed this was a great match for the players and those watching.
Every player gave their best efforts, and showed how skills are developing.
Player of the match went to Blake, the newest member of the team. Well done Blake.
Thankyou to Travis for doing a great job with refereeing.

U 9 Match Report - 18 July 2009
Dayboro Dingoes vs Samford. Saturday 18th July
With school holidays and wet weather, it seems an eternity since the under 9’s last had a run. Enthusiasm flowing as usual for this little team and with energy to burn, coach “Pete” took the opportunity to make use of the “big field” for this game. Samford also saw this as a good opportunity put their skills to practice.
Emslie, as this week’s captain led the team out amongst the cheers for supporting parents. From the onset Samford meant business and gave goalie Tim a good work out. Never a team to b e deterred by a quick opposition goal our little team fought back. “Pocket rocket” Conor Owens showed his skills with numerous runs down the field with Dean in hot pursuit. Both provided the audience with some great shots for goal, only missing by “that much”.
Jack the “Handy man” as usual worked tirelessly, not even a injury can keep this guy off the field. Once again our wonderful fill-in’s Sam Elliot and Ruby Morrison-Rose played like stars and are a fantastic asset every time we request their services. Well into her first season ever, Hayley always shows us great potential and skills whatever position she is asked to play.
Spurred on all the way with the tones of Coach Sue, the final score had no reflection of the determination or ball play of the Dayboro Under 9’s.
For covering the most distance on the field and showing no fear against players twice her size, Emslie walked away with the Player Achievement award and quickly converted voucher from the IGA.

U11 Match Report - 18 July 2009
Dayboro Dingoes 0 vs Redcliffe 3.
Clear skies, 3-5 knot winds out of the south east. Billy Hohns was our ref and Graham Rose was running the mile up the sideline. Bit of a change of the under 11 dingoes as they had to wear reverse strip this weekend because Redcliffe's colours were almost the same as Dayboros. First half, kickoff, with an early breakaway with Tyler and Claire looked like it was set to score, but was defended will by the Redcliffe goalie. Redcliffe had a run at our line, Sos was in goal and defended well. Another scramble at the our end saw a disallowed goal. Redcliffe got a penalty and they put one in the net over Sos's head, bad luck mate, may be when you grow a bit taller.
We kicked off and made a run towards there goal but were defeated and Redcliffe banged another one in. Again we kicked off and they stole the ball and ran towards the goal, this time Elliott defended well as he did all game and stopped them. Another kick off and a scramble saw Reece and StevieLee with a brilliant run up the left hand side but was defended by Redcliffe.
Second half, number 11 for Redcliffe was our nemesis and we could not get past him. Even with the help of substitute players Tahra Shoots, Jacob Elliott, Elliott Morrison-Rose and Tristan Alexander, we were unable to score a goal, not for the want of trying. Tyler was goalie, took a fantastic save sliding on his knees, then with a mighty goalie drop kick Claire was able to take the ball, run forward and pass it to Reece and Reece had a fantastic attempt at goal but was unlucky to have it saved by their goalie.
Final score was 3-0 to Redcliffe. A great score compared to the first time these two teams met and may be the final score was not a true reflection of the effort and dedication put in by the Dayboro players.

U12 Match Report - 18 July 2009
Dayboro Dingoes 5 vs Grange Thistle 4.
The line was drawn in the sand and the battle set to commence on yet another wonderful winter day. Our last match was a hard fought win to Dayboro by only one goal, and despite being top of the table, Dayboro had a hard task ahead.
Within the first few minutes the expectant onlookers were treated to a fabulous attempt at goal by Jayden who sent the ball rocketing across the goal face to hit the bottom left post. Dayboro maintained the pressure and Alex scored a few minutes later to open the scoring…………..and what a treat we were in for in that regard.
Grange Thistle replied soon after to square things up. This was followed by great attacking play from both teams with equally fierce defense. Franz as usual was doing an exceptional job in goal with staunch support from Jeremy, Travis and India. Finally, a beautiful cross from Oliver was rewarded by Jed finding the net to put Dayboro in the lead again. This was consolidated not long after by another lovely cross from Oliver to Alex who touched the ball in to further extend our lead. Dayboro was on a roll, and nothing was going to stop Jed who made a breakaway off clever passing from Eddie, Jake and Bradley, scoring convincingly to take the score to 4:1. Subsequent play from both teams featured skillful mid field passing resulting in a few inaccurate and some well defended attempts at goal. India showed some fancy footwork in both attack and defense. Great resistance was provided by Travis, Bradley and Jeremy as well as Eddie, who seemed to have found the secret to cloning as he appeared to be everywhere. Despite the strong defense, Grange Thistle was lucky enough to sneak through an accurate shot close to half time, closing play for the first half two goals behind.
The opening few minutes saw a lovely lob by Grange Thistle find the net, closing the gap further to only a single goal. This triggered immediate counter pressure by Dayboro with Jayden rocketing another pearler towards the net. Unlucky to find the crossbar, the rebound was swooped upon by Oliver whose attempt unfortunately sailed over the posts. The quick action drew excited cheers and disappointed groans from the anxious Dayboro spectators who sensed that the game was far from over yet. Our team showed some good ball skills and great reading of play, but in all the excitement Grange Thistle managed to dribble one over the line to even up the scores at four all. The pressure was mounting on the field while the excitement and anxiety was mounting on the sidelines. Constant pressure by Dayboro with several unlucky shots at goal with some near misses frustrated both players and spectators alike, heightening the tense atmosphere. As he had all game, Kade made some lovely runs up the side with some accurate passes into the centre which we could just not finish off. FINALLY the deadlock was broken by some deft passing between Jayden, Alex and Eddie resulting in a neat pass to Jed who made no mistakes to get Dayboro over the line a few minutes before the final whistle.
The game certainly ended up the cliff hanger we expected, but the team spirit and perseverance Dayboro showed resulted in a well deserved victory. Player of the Match was awarded to Oliver for excellent passing and crossing which setup the first 3 goals.

U12 Match Report - 11 July 2009
Kenmore Lions 0 vs Dayboro Dingoes 1.
This game for the Dingoes was a fill in game; a game had been cancelled previously and this was a chance to catch up. The Dingoes played away at Kenmore against the Kenmore Lions. When the game started and the Dingoes showed all the signs of a team at the end of the mid year holidays and took time to get into the game. In the first five minutes the game was balanced with most of the game played around the midfield.
Kenmore moved forward and Dayboro had to defend desperately, Jak made a strong tackle to hold up play (a sign of things to come), then Kenmore took a shot at goals. Dayboro’s scrambling defence held with the final back stop of Brad and the ball in his safe hands. The initial push forward from Kenmore was a wakeup for Dayboro and for the next few minutes the Dingoes made some good moves.
The two O’s, Oliver and Olivia produced a series of connecting passes and crosses. Kade gave the game a spark with some fancy footwork that wowed the team supporters. However, this did not put enough pressure on the Kenmore Lions as they stood their ground. The midfield tussle continued with India and Travis playing their usual solid game. Jak also stepped up to a new level this week running hard, a few strong tackles and a new found zest for the game.
With the game in a stalemate, Dayboro supporters were looking for something to give them the edge. Fifteen minutes into the game a couple of passes from Jake and Matt put the ball through to Alex in the Dayboro half. Alex moved through the halfway line and easily passed by a couple of Kenmore players. Alex continued to weave his way through opposition players toward the 18 yard box. A couple of determined steps and Alex had only the goalie to beat. Again, coach Scott’s training would pay off. After beating many opposition players, Alex could have taken the glory shot and fired the ball hard but his cool head and accurate boot placed the ball out of the goalie’s reach. This resulted in Dayboro being a goal up.
With the Dingoes finally ahead, the team settled and began stringing passes together, Oliver showing consistency throughout the season had vision around him. He put good passes through to his teammates as well as individual moves of brilliance. Toward the end of the second half the game balanced again, Kenmore’s pushes forward were countered by the Dayboro defence. Travis played the captain’s lead by putting his body on the line with his trademark rock solid tackles; on one occasion tackling hard then dribbling the ball forward to get the ball away to one of his teammates.
Jak again showed his consistency during this fist half, following Travis’ lead by putting in good tackles and showing determination. With the second half whistle blowing, Dayboro went into the ‘sheds’ a goal up.
The second half began as the first half did, both teams trying to get the edge, Kenmore moving forward only to be countered by the Dayboro defences. More good work from the defensive triple J’s; Jeremy, Jake and Jed held out Kenmore. The game played mostly in the midfield and allowed the likes of Eddie and Matt to show off their skills. Eddie and Matt both combined in a couple of one-two’s. Alex, Oliver and Olivia brought the ball forward on numerous occasions with good passes between them.
Throughout the second half Dayboro had shots on goal with no reward, even a fancy lob from the edge of the 18 yard box didn’t work, Kenmore’s defence held. An accurate cross from Oliver swept the ball across goal but a golden opportunity missed. Alex also had another shot at goal in the second half but again, no luck. As the game was nearing full time both teams had opportunities. Ed had a strong run down the line. At the other end of the field Travis continued to block Kenmore’s attempts to score. Any shots on goal we easily stopped by Brad. Special thanks to Brad for staying in goal for the whole game in the absence of Franz. We’ll look forward to your strong defensive play and determined runs at the next game.
When the final whistle blew Dayboro finished the victors. It was not a decisive win but some good points came out of it; Alex came through with the deciding goal, Oliver and Olivia combined well and set up opportunities to score and our defensive unit held strong.
For the week leading up to this game a number of the Dingoes took part in a soccer camp held in Dayboro, The Chelsea Skills Training Camp. For five days, three hours a day, the group went through intensive skills training. By game day the group were about to start their 16th hour of football for the week. As well as improving skills, it was clearly evident that fitness levels were up.
A standout from the camp and for the game was Jak Speirs who played above his usual level of play. Jak had an outstanding game and was rewarded with man of the match.

Throughout the second half Dayboro had shots on goal with no reward, even a fancy lob from the edge of the 18 yard box didn’t work, Kenmore’s defence held. An accurate cross from Oliver swept the ball across goal but a golden opportunity missed. Alex also had another shot at goal in the second half but again, no luck. As the game was nearing full time both teams had opportunities. Ed had a strong run down the line. At the other end of the field Travis continued to block Kenmore’s attempts to score. Any shots on goal we easily stopped by Brad. Special thanks to Brad for staying in goal for the whole game in the absence of Franz. We’ll look forward to your strong defensive play and determined runs at the next game.
When the final whistle blew Dayboro finished the victors. It was not a decisive win but some good points came out of it; Alex came through with the deciding goal, Oliver and Olivia combined well and set up opportunities to score and our defensive unit held strong.
For the week leading up to this game a number of the Dingoes took part in a soccer camp held in Dayboro, The Chelsea Skills Training Camp. For five days, three hours a day, the group went through intensive skills training. By game day the group were about to start their 16th hour of football for the week. As well as improving skills, it was clearly evident that fitness levels were up.
A standout from the camp and for the game was Jak Speirs who played above his usual level of play. Jak had an outstanding game and was rewarded with man of the match.

President's Report 17 June 2009
Hello and welcome.
Hope everyone has had another fantastic week. Following our monthly soccer meeting that was held last week, a few issues/topics have arisen and I have been asked to put them forward in this week’s edition of E off the Post.
Woollies grant successful!
A while back the soccer club applied for a grant through Woolworths Fresh Food Kids Community Grants, and we are pleased to announce that we have been successful. The money will be used to go toward shade shelters. I will have more information as time goes on. A HUGE thanks to the effort put in by Venetia to receive this grant.
Why recycling matters
I'm not an active member of Greenpeace, but recycling can only help the environment. We can all benefit from recycling things from around the house, work, or during our leisure time. Over the next few weeks our soccer committee members are going to organise for all of us to take part in recycling. We will start off by having a bin for our empty cans, which will be located at the canteen. This is a fantastic opportunity for our kids to see, be participants, and that as a club we are doing our bit for the environment.
Performance of young referees
Positive feedback has been a hot topic this week among the parents regarding our young refs. Juliet has mentioned praise from a Samford U10's mother about Billy Hohns manner with the children, also the performance of Travis Vetier refereeing the U7's was also excellent. Well done boys keep up the great job your doing. All of our young refs are doing a fantastic job and we are all very proud to have them as part of our soccer club.
Safety during matches
Another issue that was mentioned during the meeting was the importance of spectators not cutting corners during games. This is a concern for young children being knocked down by players, as well as respecting the playing field.Comments were made to me on Saturday about the speed in which cars have entered and exited the oval parking area. We cannot say slow down to each and every driver. Lets put the safety first of each and everyone of us who meets for our matches/training.
Chelsea coaching clinic
We need more Dayboro players!(the original post for this is in E off the post Edition 9) The Development Camps will run from Monday, 6 July until Friday, 10 July and are currently being staged at Albany Creek (from 1-4 pm) or Narangba (2-5 pm), however if we can get 16 players from Dayboro, a clinic will be able to run at our very own ground. At the moment we are well on the way to getting 16 players.The cost of the course is $175 per player, however if we get the numbers we will also get a 10% discount which will mean the cost will be $157.50, so now is the time to act. Please send an e-mail to Scott Whitaker (U12 Coach) at info@doggett.com.au with your child's name, age group and the following details:
1) I will register my child regardless of the venue (Dayboro, Albany Creek or Narangba) or
2) I will register my child, only if the clinic is held in Dayboro.

Under 12 Report - 13th June 2009
Dayboro U12’s vs The Gap – top of the table clash
What a great game, what a great result! The clash between our team (second on the table) and The Gap (top of the table) set the scene for an exciting game. Dayboro came out firing and put pressure on The Gap straight away. Ed got stuck in straight off the whistle with a solid tackle to take the ball away from the opposition and moved the ball forward. By the end of the second minute, Jed took a shot at goal. Another sign of things to come involved Alex and Oliver combining well in their passing to move the ball forward in a one-two sequence.
In the seventh minute, Dayboro scored the first goal. Alex moved the ball forward from the edge of the penalty box. He could have blasted the ball for a speculator shot, but as coach Scott had drilled into the team ‘control’, Alex chose to move forward and ‘with control’, and swept the ball into the goal!
Dayboro did not let up after the first goal. With The Gap rattled, Dayboro kept moving forward. Jake had a strong run, Travis made a long range pass and Kade had a shot at goal. Alex would have scored again in the ninth minute, but was called offside. With all the pressure on The Gap and Dayboro pushing forward, Alex scored again after being fed a good ball from his team mates.
The opposition spectators sensed the Dayboro dominance when one called out, "Two of you tackle him!" In attack or defence Dayboro dominated. More disciplined passing saw Alex, Kade and Olivia moving the ball up the field. Oliver showed tenacity against some of the stronger Gap players by tackling, falling over, getting up again and tackling a second time. Twenty minutes into the game and Dayboro hadn’t eased off. A second call from the sideline could be heard by all, "two of you tackle him" – a desperate spectator! With heightened excitement, Alex further entertained the home crowd with an overhead kick receiving a great cheer from the Dayboro supporters.
Toward the end of the first half, Dayboro let The Gap into the game. The Gap had several pushes forward with shots at goal. Franz did well to keep the ball out of the net. Finally, as Dayboro was anticipating the end of the first half, they were caught off guard by a long range shot from outside the penalty box. The ball rose high and long over the defence and went into the top corner of the Dayboro goal.
Half time gave Coach Scott a chance to reinforce the game plan "move the ball, track the ball". Scott also added some words of encouragement, "Our passing is sweet, we’re tearing them apart, and their goal caught us on breakaway!"
The Gap started the second half well with a shot at goal in the first few minutes; but again Franz was solid in goal. The beginning of the second half also saw more of the ball moving up and down the pitch in a midfield battle. Oliver took a superb shot from out wide with The Gap goalie having to take dive. The goalie was surprised at the shot on target from such a narrow angle. Against the run of plan, The Gap scored again. Another long range shot, Franz at full stretch got a hand to the ball and pushed it wide, but not wide enough. The ball hit the post and went into the goal. The Gap celebrated at levelling the score but Dayboro had a problem. With Franz committing himself to the previous save, he injured his hand and could not keep goal for the rest of the match. Brad, ever the enthusiast, did not hesitate when he was asked to go in goal. This would be a fortunate replacement as Brad was destined to entertain later in the game.
In the tenth minute of the second half, Dayboro would score again. An exceptional goal, Olivia took the ball down the right from halfway, dribbled it deep into the opposition’s half, then crossed the ball with a pin point pass. Kade connected with the ball and slotted in the goal. Dayboro’s intensity was back with passing combinations being one of many highlights of match. Again, Oliver crossed the ball and nearly scored. The Gap took advantage of whatever ball they could get and scored again to level the match.
Even though the game was levelled after 15 minutes into the second half, Dayboro kept dominance over the match. The game continued back and forth with Dayboro continuing to bring the ball out of defence. The strong Dayboro mid-field was dependable with Mathew and India. Jeremy was also strong throughout the match providing good balls to the forwards, or moving it forward himself.
Toward the end of the match, Dayboro had a corner and Coach Scott threw caution to the wind and called Brad up from his goal posting to try for the goal winning header. The ball was crossed in and Brad just missed scoring. As The Gap moved the ball out of defence, Brad sprinted back to his goal at full speed to the cheer of the crowd. This underlined the theme of the game, entertainment plus!
With only minutes to go until the end of the match, Jak had a couple of strong kicks in midfield to keep the ball in the oppositions half. More pressure from Dayboro moved the ball toward The Gap’s goal and fittingly enough, a third goal from Alex - his hat-trick!!
Minutes later the final whistle blew. The Dayboro players jumped around in excitement and the supporters cheered making it one of the best supported games of the year. Well done Coach Scott! Dayboro U12’s are top of the table, knocking off the previous top team – The Gap.
Player of the match was Jeremy Lake

No Smoking Policy – could all parents please be aware of a nil tolerance policy for those who choose to light up in the areas surrounding the pitch. This can affect all those who are in the same proximity as the smokers. Where they dispose of their cigarette butts is another issue.
Speed Limits – on Saturday I did notice a few vehicles using the area around the parking area a little unsafe. Please take care as we have a considerable number of girls and boys in these areas who are only focused on their friends and playing soccer – not vehicles.
See you at training or at the game.

Why I think the U12 team will get in the soccer finals this year (by Matt Simons)
I am a player in the U12 soccer team for Dayboro Dingoes. We are all good players in the positions we are given, and sometimes if we are given a different position, we might be even better at it. No matter what we do, even if we loose, we all have fun!
We are lucky enough to have a coach who is also an actual soccer player. He teaches us his skilful moves and games during our lesson. If we finish early we play a soccer game, usually red verses white, but whichever team has the least players, gets the coach. It is very enjoying to have him and a great opportunity to learn wonderful moves.
Most of us in this team, have been playing for 5-6 years and have had a great experience. Whilst some of us are 11 years old, most of us are 12 - although we are from different schools (most from Dayboro). Even though some of us are little and younger, we never tease any one and if we make a mistake, unlike some other teams who harass there own players, we just say "good try better luck next time".
We do win a lot of our games and have only lost one game so far, but as I said we all enjoy playing. We pass the ball all the way up the field and if we’re in the right place in the right time, we score. Often there are times where we pass but the other team gets it, but we try and stop them and start all over again.
Fortunately, with our training, we have been playing so well that the Dayboro U12 team is in second place on the ladder. We are all thrilled with our current position, although on Saturday 13/6/9 we have to play against the team coming first, The Gap, and we all feel like having fun, the team, the two captains and me, the vice captain.

President's Report
Hello and welcome to another edition of E off the Post.
What a great weekend starting with soccer on Saturday and Dayboro Day on Sunday. The weather really held up for us. I would like to thank all the mums and dads who helped out at the soccer stall during the course of the day and to all that participated in the march. I was proud to see all those who marched having a great time and picking those faces in the crowd they knew. It was also great to see that our club entered the waterless raft race with the energetic crew trying their hardest as they dashed through the centre of town. Well done!
I would personally like to thank Caroline, her son and Juliet for setting up our stall for Dayboro Day. It was early and a little chilly out and about at that time of the day. Michele, Kim and Tanya for making the bouyant raft for the race. A kind hearted thanks to all those I have not mentioned. You know who you are. Thanks.
Watching several games at Samford on Saturday, certainly shows that training and practice is paying off. Teams are working well together. All those happy smiles highlight the enjoyment that both boys and girls playing team sport are having, plus the smiles and loud vocal support from mums and dads.
Thanks to those players who stepped up a level and played for those teams who were short on players. Well done.
Keep up with all team match reports and see you at the pitch.

Under 6 Match Report - 16 May 2009
DAYBORO DINGOES v SAMFORD ARSENAL
A Home game was just what the Mum’s & Dad’s of the Under 6’s were waiting for! – just a bit of an extra sleep in!! – but it’s still a mad rush to get the household ready for the 8.30 game.
It was nice to have a home game, and to be playing on the Colin Thiele field, not the rugby field! – close to the canteen, and we got to see other Dayboro teams playing.
Our team had a good day, this week we played against the Samford team Arsenal, Super Goals were scored by Jordon Salmon and Ryan Linney.
Player of the Day went to Ryan Linney – not only did he score a goal, but he is always keen to get on the field, and follows me around saying – “can I go on now…. and....when can I go back on…!” That’s great enthusiasm!

Under 9 Match Report - 16 May 2009
From the onset, Mitchelton made it clear they drove all the way to Dayboro for business. The green jersey did their best to dominate the first half however Dayboro’s tactics kicked in. Just like the comet, Hayley was “on fire”. With the goalie gloves on and the number one on her back she proved a force to be contended with stopping potential goals with ease.
Jack, sporting a new streamline defense haircut along with Tim and Emslie helped turn the game around and the last ten minutes of the first half saw Dayboro hold the ball in their forward lines. Dean and Conor’s quick feet tried hard to set the ball up however the goals remained illusive.
Back into the game for the second half Jacob worked well with the little legs of the under 8’s playing up. Clancy, Sam and Shaun showed their worth and were invaluable on the field working the ball with determination and sweat while providing reserve relief for the team. Dayboro chased the ball to the end however it was Mitchie taking the trophy home.
Congratulations to Hayley, player achievement award well earned.
Under 10 Match Report - 16 May 2009
Fair weather again this weekend saw the Westside Sports Dragons wind their way out to the town of Yesteryear to pit their skills against the U 10 Dayboro Dingoes.
Jacob and Mathew demonstrated some fancy footwork early in the match, deftly deflecting the ball away from the opposition. Mid fielder, Tristan worked the game tirelessly and rounded up the ball several times, feeding though to forwards Tahra and Hayden, however their attempts went across the front of the goal or placed wide of the posts, with no score recorded whilst under pressure. Thomas maintained forward position, but was unable to wrestle the space for a goal attempt from the opposition.
Westside saw an opportunity when Dayboro players had been drawn up the field, and they quickly struck while there was open ground and managed to start up the scores with the first goal of the game.
Tahra took a steal and worked the ball back close to goals but after a tussle, the ball was diverted away.
Joshua came on and found his place in midfield and maintained a show of support for the team, working the ball forwards. Mathew, solid as ever in the backs defended play and prevented many of the opponent’s opportunities that might have come. Hayden playing forward this week received the ball and took an attempt at goal, which placed to the right of the post, but shortly after Elliott worked through the field and cleverly placed the first goal for Dayboro.
Westside kicked off and the ball came down the sides towards Benedict, who swung into action and through persistence, managed to completely foil the Westside player resulting in the ball passing out to our backline to mids.
The Second Half saw Layton field the ball with determined forward direction, feeding to Elliott who worked really hard in front of the goals. Benedict played well in the backs, blocking many moves and goal attempts by the opposition.
The team worked really well as a unit with many players passing through the positions. Thomas and Layton worked in unison, passing the ball back and forth at times gaining 15m of ground. Joshua pressured the opposition, at times taking on two Westsiders at once, and still maintaining control of the ball to feed to the forwards.
Jacob, Tristan and Mathew once again demonstrated their speed on the field, and on one occasion Mathew worked the ball up the sidelines, won the throw in and fed to Layton, but the ball placed wide of goals. Not long after, Layton received the ball again and redeemed himself with a well-placed kick into nets for another Dayboro goal. The scores were even at this stage, and although Elliott was very strong in defence, Thomas, Tahra, Hayden and Jacob were working hard at the front end to control the ball at goals, but unfortunately the Westside defence was effective in blocking any goal attempts.
Not to be forgotten, Ben as goalie made many saves throughout both halves of the match, some quite well done, preventing Westside from the score they were really after.
The start of the match saw the promise of a well-rehearsed performance from the Dingoes with the play skirted out to the sides through the midfield to forwards. However, the Dayboro players were drawn into play into either sides or up the middle at times by their opposition, and did not maintain their positions with spaces being used by the Westside team to field the ball towards their goal.
Player of the Match went to Tristan Alexander this week. Tristan really got the heart rate up this match and worked very hard in the midfielder position against the opposing team. He received quite a few favourable comments from the player support team – the parents! Well done Tristan.

Under 12 Match Report - 16 May 2009
This weeks game got off to a slow start for us. Ollie, Alex, India, Jayden and Jed managed to secure the ball on a number of occasions; but Grange managed to score in the first 10 minutes. Grange continued to dominate play, and although Jeremy and Travis intercepted in defence a few times, but Grange scored again.
However, Dayboro picked up their game. Jeremy did some great intercepting, with Eddie and Ollie picking it up and passing to Alex, who ran into the clear with the ball all the way to score a goal! Matt, Travis and Kayde secured the ball and it was Grange under pressure now. Eddie, Alex, Ollie and Jayden kept it up, Jayden headed the ball to Alex, and Alex scored again, with the ball bouncing off the right post into the net!
Jed and Eddie managed another two shots at the goal, both of which were saved. The team really started working together. All the players keeping to their positions and keeping the ball in our possession. Franz collected it and booted it down field; Travis did some great intercepting. India, Eddie, Jayden and Ollie kept the ball, Jayden passed to Alex who once again found a clear field and scored!
India, Jayden, Eddie, Kayde, Alex and Ollie had good control of the ball, and passes were strung together well. Jak and Matt were good in defence.
In the second half, Dayboro kept the ball on the Grange end of the field with some great intercepting from Travis, India and Jeremy, and a couple of tries at goals by Jed and Kayde. However, Grange managed to intercept and score again, bringing the score to 3:3.
The pressure was on in this tight game now, and India intercepted the ball, passed it to Alex to Kayde, back to Alex to Jed, then to Kayde, who booted it right into the goal! Grange took up the challenge and fought back with a strong attempt at our goal, but Franz saved it and the Grange didn’t manage to score again.
It was a tough decision to choose Player of the Match, with so many in the team playing well, but in the end, Scott chose Eddie for being the best for using the 1: 2 move, he’d been teaching them. Well done Dayboro on yet another win!!

Under 12's choose their Captain!
There was great excitement and anticipation last week in the U12 camp with the pending announcement of a team captain for the season. This group of players is very diverse, with up to 22 months difference in age and every player bringing valuable attributes and skills to the team, both socially and on-field.
At this age the players are learning the ideals of leadership and also the responsibility involved in working with team leaders in ways that benefits themselves as well as their team. In the several weeks that the team has been together, a number of the players have shown natural leadership qualities.
It wasn't surprising that the team vote came down to a two horse race between Travis and Alex. Each player was given the opportunity to nominate two names for the captaincy and not surprisingly every player in the team voted for either Alex or Trav, while many players voted for both. Both boys display tremendous leadership among the team and are both well respected for their football ability and socially and also have good communication skills and demonstrate fine sportsmanship, playing hard and fair.
In the end, it was a very popular decision that the captaincy should be shared, so while Alex and Travis will alternate wearing the captains arm band each week, they will both act as dual captains on the field with Alex mostly playing upfront as a striker and Travis usually playing at the other end of the field as sweeper.
It was wonderful to see both captains showing their qualities in the game against Grange Thistle on the weekend and there was one particular incident that clearly demonstrated this. At one point Grange were on the attack when one of their players went down injured. Travis was first to the opposition player and with his hand on the other players shoulder quickly attracted the attention of the ref who stopped play. The restart, with a drop ball, is usually a 50/50 kick-and-hope situation, however as Grange had been on the attack Alex stepped up to the ref and indicated that he would just return the ball to one of the Grange backs on the restart - a perfect example of sportsmanship by both players.
The other player to feature predominantly in the vote was Matt, who is a very important member of the social fabric of the team while quietly getting on with business. It was to a great cheer from the group that Matt was named as Vice-Captain, a position which we know Matt will rise to this year.
Congratulations to Alex, Trav and Matt, we know you will all lead the team well and give it your best.

Presidents Report 14 May 2009
Soccer - good for our kids
All sports provide physical and other benefits for those involved in them. But soccer offers much more to help youths develop, interact with others, and just plain enjoy themselves, something kids should do, after all. Mum and dad's can interact, join in and have fun too.
One of the greatest things about soccer is that any child can kick a soccer ball and learn to do it well within a short period of time. There are no special talents required. If a boy or girl can run, he or she can do so with a soccer ball at his or her feet. Any child can gain basic skills in dribbling, passing, and kicking a soccer ball with minimal time and effort expended. This means that any child that wants to play soccer can do so and be at a level of most of the players on the field. Happy smiling faces and friendships can be made forever - both players and spectators.
This really helps build a child’s self-esteem, which can be seen in the confidence displayed on the field. Something as simple as a good pass or stopping the ball from getting to an opponent can make a child feel good about him or herself and that makes them perform even better. Happy smiling faces and cheering from the sidelines is also very rewarding. Their faces express a thousand words.
New Player Inquiries
There have been a few inquiries about joining Soccer this week. If anyone else in the committee, coaches or managers have been approached could you please refer the request to Yvonne, (preferred as the registrar), Juliet or Polly as the club must comply with the specific requirements of Football Brisbane. I would also like to clarify that interested players cannot train or play until the correct paperwork (obtained only from Yvonne) is completed and monies are paid to Venetia (Treasurer). Trying to be helpful unfortunately isn’t always being helpful and makes it more difficult for those who then have to rectify the situation!
Changes in Team Players
Recently we have had a couple of children change teams without the correct people in the committee being notified. Could I kindly ask that if you are made aware of the status of children within teams changing, please notify the following people on the committee as these changes impact on their role.
Juliet – Secretary julietocean@ymail.com
Polly – Team Liaison Officer pollybennett2@hotmail.com
Yvonne – Registrar yhandy@bigpond.com
Have a great week!

Under 6 Match Report - 9 May 2009
On Saturday morning, Dayboro under 6 team once again travelled to Samford. This week they played Manchester United, we played 4 aside, giving us 3 subs, and it was a good rest for all players in between.
They played an exceptional game and the team is playing really well together and starting to pass the ball to each other! – Something we thought would never happen!
We even had a player block a goal with a slide! – Fantastic!
Player of the day went to Rusty Russian; he played really well; even cheered on his fellow team mates from the side line, which is great sportsmanship!! – Way to go Rusty!! –
As the weeks roll on into the season, I can honestly say this team is playing really well and getting it together!
Well done to everybody, and we will see what this Saturday brings us, playing on home grounds…
Under 8 Gold Report - 9 May 2009

Under 9 Report - 9 May 2009
Saturdays game started in an exciting flurry of footwork and a couple of enthusiastic A grade goals by the ever confident pocket rocket Connor. The action continued with strong defense and terrific teamwork as Dayboro tried to halt Samford’s comeback.
The never ending onslaught was fought off by the overworked goalie Emslie, the dedicated defense of Dean and the co-operation and energetic efforts of the entire Dayboro team. By half time Samford had re-grouped and snuck in a couple of lucky goals but were repeatedly foiled by the hard and continued tackles of Jack and Haley. After several undeterred efforts, Tim finally scored in the elusive goal posts.
The last quarter Samford gained the upper hand even though Dayboro fought on with terrific defense, great tackles and Jacob’s fantastic footwork. Dayboro never gave in as Samford scored again and pushed on to victory.
Player of the match for tireless effort is Jack Handy.
Under 12 Report - 9 May 2009
DAYBORO U12's vs DAYBORO U11's
Saturday the 9th, and both the 11's and 12's had a bye so t'was a good opportunity to have a scratch match at the Lair, Home of the Dingoes. How good did it look driving over the hill at 8.30 and looking down on Colin Thiele Park, with the pitch shimmering in the morning sun. Coach Whitaker had the kids pumped and they were ready for a match. The under 11s were down a few of their regular players so had enlisted some very capable replacements to make up numbers. From the kickoff we had the foot on the pedal with the front three Olivia, Alex and Olly pushing the ball up and hovering around the oppositions goal. It was Jed who finally opened the account in the 3rd minute from a screamer 15 metres out. Not to be outdone, Big Ol smashed one in 2 minutes later, followed by another within 3 minutes off Olivia's boot. The writing was on the wall, the team were hungry for goals and goalie Max of the 11s had his work cut out for him. Kade, Ed the Iceman, Brad and India in the middle were thwarthing any opposition raids that came their way, then feeding the attack again with good ball to allow Alex to boot in a couple in the 14th and 19th minutes. A few good raids by the opposition kept Matt, Speirsy and Jake on their toes with Franz the Dependable making some great saves. Jayden and Travis landed a goal each in the final minutes of the first half after some great team play.
The second half saw the 11s play good defensive footy to keep us out for the first ten minutes until Big Ol found the back of the net. Franz and Jed also goaled soon after. A beaut length of the field run by Kade followed by a well directed center kick to Alex saw him get his third . I think it was at this stage I saw Brad on the sideline signing autographs. Somewhere in there Alex did a beaut bicycle manouvre. Jayden closed the scoring in the final minute to get his second.
Two things that stood out with the team today were that
1. They were happy to move the ball back to find a way forward.
2. They played like a team, always looking for the pass.
Well done to the U11's. You were up against a hot team but you guys didn't stop trying till the final whistle .
Jayden Hanna was this weeks Team Player, always steady in the middle and two goals to boot.
