Cold, wet and windy conditions welcomed visitors to Blue Lake Sports Park last weekend for the State Junior Championships. Teams from around the State contested age group titles, with matches played in a setting which tested even the most skilful of players.
Many of SEWFA’s junior players took to the fields in WBSA Under 13 and Under 16 squads, with the Under 13 girls claiming silver medals. Whilst the Under 13s have been successful in the Country championships recently, State medals have been elusive for several years. Heartened by this victory, junior players will be full of confidence when playing for their respective SEWFA teams in the future.
For the first time in many seasons, the Under 16 girls missed out on a medal, with injury plaguing the team. Coach Warren McCallum will now have his sights set firmly on the Country Championships to be held in Port Lincoln in September.
Excessive games combined with extremely wet weather, has forced a change of venue for this SEWFA week’s fixtures, as both pitches have been deemed too damaged for matches to be played at a safe standard. It is hoped that with repair work to be carried out shortly and a week’s rest, games will resume at Blue Lake Sports Park the following week.
This week’s fixtures will see Villa and City Under 14s meet at noon at Malseed Park (the home of Blue Lake Soccer Club), with the Junior Development Squad match to be played at 1.30pm, followed by Villa and Millicent senior teams at 3pm.
The remainder of the home fixtures will see Wanderers and Palace Under 14s play at Apollo’s home ground of Webb Street at noon, followed by Palace v City at 1.30pm and Wanderers v County at 3pm.
Portland will retain their home fixture and will play host to United.
