Away
vs Thornton
Reds Win 3-1
Good
game with the team spreading themselves out across the field. It was
great to here the boys calling to each other to pass so the idea of
space is beginning to be understood. Ricky displayed some really good
footwork with the ball and was the scorer of the first two goals
putting the Dolphins in front. The Reds weren’t fazed though and
justifiably scored a well earnt goal to bring it back to 2-1. Rupert
and Josh were in the thick of it and Tristan was doing some fine goalie
work. The game came to a really good end with Nirai doing one of his
many defensive stops and then taking the ball up the left hand side of
the field, he looked up saw Jack unmarked in front of the goal and did
a superb cross into Jacks feet which was dispatched past the goalie to
make it 3-1 at the final whistle. It was a deserved ‘player of the day’
to Nirai after that great pass.
Thanks
to Thornton for a great game on a dodgy day weather wise.

Dolpins vs Ohope
Stormtroopers
A great
came between two well matched teams. Play seesawed up and
down the field with plenty of shots at goal from both teams but just
not being
able to get the ball in the back of those small goals. The arm wrestle
was
finally broken by a great shot from Jordan from wide
out that shot
past the goalie.
The short practice of how to do headers at practice on Thursday
seem to have keyed the lads up as everyone was calling for a header
from the
throw ins!
Good
work lads and enjoy the holidays.

Away
vs James St 2-2 draw
Good
close game with the lads on both sides doing some great
passing. James Street were peppering the Dolphins goal with plenty of
shots but
Ricky was doing a fantastic job in goalie, but ultimately one snuck
past to
give the lead to James St. Things were very close until Rupert broke
free to
dribble up and score a great equalising goal. James St
were net to score early
in the second half but Dolphins were now warming into the task and soon
equalised. Ricky was very unlucky not to seal the win when his
shot
bounced off the post, but the 2 all draw was a representative result
for a good
game and play from both teams.
June 19
Away vs Allandale Rovers Win
1-0
A
close game this one. With two pretty evenly matched sides. The Dolphins
kept on pressuring the Rovers goal but just couldn’t seem to get it in
the net with the ball going just wide and even over the top. It was
looking like it was going end in a ill all draw until Jack managed to
break free with the ball dribbling it most of the length of the field
before taking his time to line up his kick into the back of the net.
Thanks from all of us to Allandale for hosting this game due to Bluett
Park being still closed

Away vs K-town
cruisers Loss 4-2
9.15am
Great game this one with signs of the
boys really understanding what passing was about. Geordie even trapped
the ball with his foot, stopped and looked up and around for someone to
pass it to. The Cruisers went out to an early 2 nil lead, before the
Dolphins built up pressure to score a couple goals and tie it up.
It remained at 2-2 for most of the second half before a couple of late
goals by the Cruisers took them out to a good win. A great game.

Home vs Awakeri Aces Win 6-0
All
the team members getting into the swing of things now. It was great to
see the team beginning to spread out and some passing between players
occurring. The result of the pressure was the Awakeri Aces goal being
peppered with shots frequently; the Aces goalies did a good job on
stopping many, but a few shots did get past leading to a good win for
the team.
Keep
it up guys
