We threw everything but the kitchen sink at Maccabi yesterday but they ran out 2-1 winners, finishing four points and two goals ahead of us in the final table, not that I've looked at it today. Too soon!
It was always going to be a tight contest. They got their first goal early on from a corner, their second from a well struck free kick that one of ...

Woohoo! Grand Final here we come! Watch out Hensley – the AAW1s will be stepping onto your smooth astroturf on September 4 with goals and glory in mind.
But before we could plan our Hensley appearance, we had to get past Coogee. And it wasn’t easy work. We were nervous and jittery: a nervous as nuns in a sperm bank, as jittery as Mike Tyson in a ...

The exertions of playing three games in the past week showed a bit in the O45 legs yesterday but we were still well worth the three points. The form table in O45’s football has changed since the O35’s season ended; Queen’s Park were much better for drafting in a few over 45 players from their O35s squads. Anyway, comfortable games in our run-in ...

Wednesday 17th August, Dunbar O45 vs Redfern Rebels, 7pm ko @ Chifley Sports Reserve.
A few dramas in the game against Redfern Rebels last night but we kept our heads and ran out much the better side. We won 7-2 …… and their second was the softest of penalty decisions. And Jason almost saved it!
Redfern started brightly and hit the bar early on, ...

Google tells me perfect seasons are pretty rare things. A few NFL teams have done it (pfft. Not a real sport. There’s more chest beating than there is action). Several NRL teams (who cares?). And Arsenal in 2003-04 (well, yeah, OK. They were pretty good).
But now we can add the Dunbar AAW1s to that illustrious list, after a 3-0 win over UNSW on ...

For a game that had been rescheduled not once, not twice but thrice due to rain, mother nature sure did put on a beautiful show for us Saturday morning. Not a cloud in the sky, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, it was a temperate 22 degrees and Loko were dropping F bombs left, right and centre. Basically it was a perfect day for a game of ...

WOW WOW WOW!
So let’s set the scene – Dunbar v Coogee – many people have said this would be the grand finale, content with this being semi final one the teams were ready for an epic encounter. The teams have played 3 times already this season with Coogee winning twice and a draw. The gap had been closing, 4-2, 3-2 and 1 all suggested that this ...

With the apple weather app predicting a downpour for much of the week, Jim Booth's AA2's pushed for the game to be moved to an all weather pitch to remove the possibility of an eastern suburbs park ranger making up for a lifetime of bullying and disappointment by closing The Reg at the slightest sign of precipitation in the air. The desire to stamp their ...
