Sharing similar sentiments was Ashley Rovers coach, Clinton Vandayar. “I feel like both the teams played exceptionally well. There’s more practice to be done and with that, the players will develop more and the team will perform better.
The U15A match saw Bayview play against United Juniors and ended with a final score of 3-1 to Bayview. “Both teams played very well, unfortunately for United Juniors, the opposition was a bit too strong for them. Bayview boys played very well and knocked the ball around throughout the field and gave them the opportunity to score the goals. We just need to continue to keep up their consistency. Goal scorers were, Kealyn Smith, Oluhle Canham and Callan Goliath,” said Bayview Football Club coach, Mario Labuschagne.
