DECLAN MURPHY - FQPL 4 MEN G A F F A

Since the last Issue of 'United', we have had two victories on the bounce, against AC Carina and a Centenary Derby win against Ripley Valley FC.

Our Game against AC Carina was the benchmark for the rest of the season for us. We fought hard through the whole game, against a team that was 2nd in the league at the time. It was great to see our whole front three from that game on the scoresheet, in Toddy, Joey and a season best performance from Fan Favourite Kristian Samuels

Last weekend we made the short trip to Ironbark Park, to take on Ripley Valley FC in the 1st Centenary Derby for 2023. Throughout the years, Ripley have always risen to the task against us, and we knew we would have to be at our best to come away with three points. After going 1-0 down against the run of play, the lads really knuckled down to the task and slotted 3 unanswered goals past Ripley. The Highlights of the game being the return of 2022 Superstar Rhys Phipps, who scored our first of the night, and the debut goal of Jordan Host. Jordan joined us from Brindabella Blues in the Canberra NPL system. A player with a stack of pace and quality in the final third, we feel he can be a player to watch in the coming games.

This week we welcome The Gap FC to 'The Summit', as we look to continue our good run. We aren't fooled by The Gap's current league position, as we know there isn't an 'Easy' game in FQPL4. In order to build momentum, we know we have to be at out 100% best each week to continue to get results. Make sure to get out and support the lads this weekend, as they thrive on a good support base cheering them on.
