Lane Cove FC at Mongo Gala Day

by

One of these teams, the U11 All Stars had a fantastic day at the Mongo Gala day. This annual tournament offers a world cup experience as 16 teams from each age group are placed in pools of four. Three matches in the morning, a skill competition and re-draw over a BBQ lunch, and a further three games in the afternoon. Teams travelled from far and wide to take part. The All Stars opponents included clubs from Terrigal, Newcastle, and Auburn. The games were played in great spirit. At the start of each match the teams entered the field side by side to the strains of a mambo beat, lined up, shook hands, exchanged pennants, and got under way. The games were tough but rewarding and the enhanced bond the players drew will surely pay dividends in the winter months ahead.

The Beautiful Game and Community in Lane Cove

by

 A group of seven year-olds who call themselves the Benfica Rockets, gathered at a residence in Lane Cove along with their support staff to watch the Socceroos in that crucial must-win FIFA World Cup qualifier in mid-November. The Rockets are a popular football team representing Lane Cove Football Club with great enthusiasm and panache in the local U8s competition.

The Rockets have played together for three years; starting their careers in the U6s. It has been three years of tears, laughter, laces coming undone, wins, losses that have felt like wins and post-game treats. The support staff around them aka parents and grandparents, have formed friendships that will stand the test of time and embody the true spirit of what a community like Lane Cove is all about. It is also testament to the very important role team sports play in a community.

Apart from the thrill of watching the Socceroos qualify for the World Cup, this great team and friends had a fantastic night together. A night made very special indeed by the crew from SBS who arranged a large outdoor screen for the night and put decorations up for the special occasion, turning the backyard into World Cup Qualifier central for nearly 40 fans of all ages. There was of course the added excitement of TV cameras capturing these young Socceroos fans willing their heroes on.

For the Socceroos and especially coach Ange, the 3-1 defeat of Honduras was the culmination of a long and arduous journey taking 22 games to qualify over two-and-a-half years despite only losing twice, which says something about how difficult it is to qualify for the best sporting competition in the world.

The match itself had everything. The nerves were jangling after an agonising first half where the Socceroos didn’t seem to be going anywhere despite having a lion’s share of the ball. When the second half got underway however, the game came alive with a very direct approach to goal resulting in a free kick smashed into the back of the net by Australian captain Jedinak. This really got the party started and two penalty kicks later, Jedi had a hat-trick and we are well and truly on the plane to Russia. The Rockets were in fine voice prompting a neighbour or two to pop over and join in the action!

Huge thanks to Lara, Jen, Lucy, Sean, Joey and Em from SBS for putting on a great night.
