Round 3
Round 3 Match Report U11's Bayswater vs Beaconsfield 03/05/2026
Despite the tough weather conditions, the effort and attitude from the U11’s today was something the entire club can be proud of. Cold, wet and slippery conditions can sometimes take the fun out of footy, but our kids embraced the challenge and competed right until the final siren.
From the opening bounce, the team showed fantastic courage and determination. The pressure around the contest was outstanding, with players willing to put their bodies on the line, chase hard, tackle strongly and support their teammates all over the ground. In conditions where it would have been easy to go missing, every single player contributed in their own way.
What stood out most was the resilience and teamwork shown throughout the game. The kids continued to encourage each other, celebrate the little wins and never let the conditions dictate their attitude. There were moments where our ball movement and decision making were excellent, especially considering how difficult the ground and ball were to handle.
A huge credit must also go to the players for the way they listened, adapted and kept trying to play the way we’ve been working on at training. That willingness to learn and improve is exactly what junior football is all about, and it’s exciting to see the progress this group continues to make week after week.
While the scoreboard is only one small part of development football, the effort, sportsmanship and spirit shown today were the real highlights. As coaches, we could not have asked for more commitment from the group.
Thank you as well to all the parents, volunteers and supporters who braved the weather and continued to cheer the kids on from the sidelines. Your support means a lot and helps create a fantastic environment for the team.
There is plenty to be proud of, and the future looks bright for this group if they continue to bring the same energy, attitude and effort every week.

Firstly, we’d like to wish all the incredible mums, grandmothers and mother figures a very Happy Mother’s Day. Thank you for everything you do
for the kids and the club each week — from the early starts and endless washing to the encouragement and support on game day. We appreciate you

The U11’s played one of their most determined games of the season on Saturday, falling just short in a thrilling contest against Blackburn

The game was played at a high intensity from start to finish, with both teams attacking the contest hard and refusing to give an inch. Our players responded brilliantly to the challenge, showing great composure with the ball and plenty of grit when the game tightened up late.
What was especially pleasing was the way the group handled momentum swings throughout the match. Each time Blackburn pushed, the boys answered back with effort and teamwork. There were several passages of play where the ball movement, communication and defensive pressure were exactly what we’ve been working on at training.
Oliver, Logan, Ryley, Alyan and Lewis were all outstanding contributors across the four quarters. Their attack on the footy, willingness to compete and leadership around teammates had a real impact on the game.
While it was disappointing to miss out on the win in the final minutes, there was so much to like about the performance. The resilience, sportsmanship and trust the players showed in one another continue to demonstrate how much this group is growing together as a team.
A big thank you for all the encouragement from the sidelines never goes unnoticed by the kids or coaches.
The effort is there, the improvement is clear, and this team is building something really exciting.
Round 6
What a fantastic game our Under 11s played against Blackburn! From the first bounce, the boys worked incredibly hard together as a team, moving the ball up and down the ground with great effort and determination. The teamwork and communication on display were outstanding and it was brilliant to see everyone contributing.
Our defensive pressure was easily the best we’ve seen all season, with the players hunting the footy, applying strong tackles and never giving Blackburn an easy possession. On top of that, the kicking skills and ability to hit targets around the ground was amazing to watch and showed just how much the group is improving each week.
Elijah got us going early with some strong tackles and a few terrific kicks, setting the tone with his attack on the footy. Paige also contributed with a lovely goal out of the goal square, which gave the team a real lift.
A massive congratulations also goes to Lewis on playing his 50th game for the club.
Everyone at the club is super proud of your efforts and
we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you in your football journey.

Round 7
Round 7 Match Report – U11’s Bayswater vs East Burwood
What a fantastic team performance from the U11’s today against East Burwood in a hard-fought contest from start to finish.
The game was incredibly tight, with both teams applying strong pressure whenever the ball hit the ground. Tackling was fierce, contests were tough, and neither side was willing to give an inch. To our players' credit, they stood up to the challenge brilliantly and managed to stay in front for the entire game through determination, teamwork and effort.
In the second half, the team really found its rhythm. Our ball movement across the ground was some of the best we've seen this season, with players looking to use handballs to create space and moving the ball quickly into advantage. When a kick was needed, the players made smart decisions and worked hard to support each other around the contest.
Standout performances today came from Alyan, Dylan and Ryder, who all had a huge impact on the game. Ryder was particularly outstanding in the Final quarter, saving at least two or three certain goals with desperate defensive efforts before turning defence into attack with some exciting runs forward at pace.
It was also fantastic to welcome Randall back to the team after injury. He didn't miss a beat, working hard around the ground and making valuable contributions to the team effort throughout the match.
As coaches, we couldn't be prouder of the entire group. Every player played their role, supported their teammates and contributed to what was a true team victory. The effort, attitude and willingness to work for one another were outstanding and continue to show just how much this group is developing each week.
Well done everyone — a great reward for the hard work you've been putting in at training.
