🏆 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟳 - 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟵 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀

Today we held our annual Fun Day and Presentation Day for the youngest ballers at the club. A day packed with bouncy castles, foot darts, an inflatable assault course, and McDonald's was followed by our trophy presentation ceremony.

An excellent day was enjoyed by all the kids, coaches, and parents. Every child had their moment in the spotlight, receiving well-earned applause for their hard work, commitment, and dedication throughout the season.

Alongside the players' awards, we also presented awards to coaches, committee members, and parents. Some were light-hearted and fun, while others recognised the incredible effort and commitment shown by those who help make the club what it is.

Well, that went well... 🤣

Hat-trick hero Jack Fletcher and team captain Paul Bloomer caught up with manager James after last night's thrilling 5–4 victory over Albert Foundry in the Summer League.

Safe to say the post-match interviews didn't quite go according to plan! 😂⚽💙❤️

Everyone at Sandy Row Football Club would like to congratulate senior team player Matthew McArdle and his partner EJ on the birth of their son, Westyn.

We hope this new chapter of your lives brings you joy, happiness and endless precious memories, and we pray young Westyn is a little bit less temperamental than his old man on the pitch!

Congratulations again, guys 👶❤️💙

𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟵 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗽 🔵🔴⚽️

A mixed morning for the 2019s, but plenty of positives to take away from both games. In the first match, the squad played some excellent football, creating numerous chances and showing great determination throughout. Despite the result not reflecting their performance, they can be very proud of the way they played.

Player of the Match: Dexter 👏

The second game saw another fantastic team performance, with the squad working tirelessly for each other all over the pitch. Their energy, effort and teamwork were outstanding, and they left everything on the field.

Player of the Match: Wayde, chosen by the opposition coach 💪🏼💙

Well done to the entire squad for their hard work, attitude and determination 💙❤️⚽️

𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟳𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝟳𝘃𝟳 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 ⚽️🔵🔴

The 2017s kicked off their 5-week 7v7 Summer League last night with two tough games.

In the first match, we came up against a strong side and were beaten 4-1. Plenty to learn from and lots to take into the next game.

The second match started in a similar way, with us going 2-0 down early on. To the team's credit, they kept working hard, showed great character and never gave up. They pulled a goal back to make it 2-1 and came very close to finding an equaliser late on. The ball may well have crossed the line, but with nobody able to tell for certain, play continued and the game finished 2-1.

A great effort from everyone, with plenty of positives to take away and lots to build on as the Summer League continues.

Well done team!
