South Cardiff Gunners 4 (Sam Ford 2, Hakan Canli, Ethan Spiers) def. Wallsend 2 (Ty Goldsmith 2)

Sunday 10th March, 5:30 pm, Ulinga Oval

The first leg of the Gallagher Shield kicked off with South Cardiff playing home to Wallsend in another thrilling encounter to start the regular season.

The Red Devils got off to a fine start, with striker Ty Goldsmith scoring in the opening minute.

South Cardiff soon settled into the game and began to create chances and were ruthless in front of goal, notching four first-half goals to storm into the lead.

New recruit, Sam Ford, began his campaign with two goals, while fellow signing Hakan Canli and Ethan Spiers also got on the scoresheet.

A late Ty Goldsmith goal gave the Red Devils a slight chance of a comeback but it wasn’t to be as South Cardiff wrapped up the win and the advantage in the Gallagher Shield.

Captain-Coach, Denis Fajkovic, served his one-game suspension from the sideline and said he’s pleased with his side’s resilience to overcome a tough start to the game.

“Bit of a shaky start, but we talked about being patient as we’ve got the quality,” Fajkovic said.

“First half we played really well and the experience showed, disappointing second half but a lot of positives and it was really important to get that win and get the ball rolling for us.”

New signing, Dino Fajkovic was also making his debut and showed his quality in the impressive victory.

“The boys have only played one or two games together so the best is yet to come but we definitely want to push ourselves this year,” Fajkovic continued.

Wallsend were missing new defender Michael Wright due to suspension and coach Jesse Pryce says the first half wasn’t what they wanted.

“The formation wasn’t working too well in the first half, we had to make some changes and come out with a better attitude in the second half which I thought we did,” Pryce said.

“We gifted them a few goals and we had some injuries in the warm-up but we don’t want to make excuses and we’ll be raring to go for Round Two now.”

Wallsend 6 def. Thornton 0

SUNDAY 10 MARCH, 2.30PM, THE GARDENS

Hot conditions proved a recurring theme for all teams in round one, however, Wallsend made the most of their chances winning 6-nil to Thornton Redbacks.

It was a big day for Wallsend Club Captain Sophie Phillips, which saw her celebrate 100 senior games for the club.

Head coach for Wallsend, Brad Jones, said he was proud of his squads’ efforts in yesterday’s trying conditions.

“It was pretty hot and tiring conditions. Whilst we’re not the finished product yet, the girls played really well and I was really happy with them,” Jones said.

“I actually think it was a really good team performance. There wasn’t really one player that stood out, they actually gelled and played some good football at times.

“It was just a solid team performance.”

Despite the disappointing scoreline, Thornton head coach Alan Primmer says he was happy with his side’s performance and said they know what they need to improve on to build in the coming weeks.

“They [Wallsend] were definitely the better team but as I said to my girls, I was very happy at halftime. A very well taken free-kick for their [Wallsend] first one and a penalty… that was it 2-nil. But we were in the game and we played some good footy and the girls were happy at halftime,” Primmer said.

“Kirstie Power-Walford who was only 16, Jasmyn Hughes who was only 16 and Lauren Faulkner who’s only 17, they all kick-off in our 14’s four years ago and now they’re playing first grade, so that’s basically a representation of our club.

“They all played really, really well. Probably a special mention to Anais Moore the captain.

“I thought she really stood-up in the second half and things really could have gotten uglier, but she let the Wallsend girls know we weren’t going to layover and I think the girls really lifted with that.”
