Mens Phoenix End of Season Report 2007
After a late start to the season due to the drought, we finally had our
opening game at the beginning of May against our annual first round
opponents Knox Strikers. We secured a comfortable 4-2 win and went on
to beat McKillop 1-0 in round two. Someone once said it was 'in the
luck of the draw', but this season we had no luck recording six draws,
in games which we dominated, but the stubborn piece of leather would
not go into the back of the net.
The whole team played outstandingly well with first time passing and
real teamwork, our midfield and defenders in particular controlled most
of the games and conceding only 13 goals from open play in 18 matches.
We scored 32 goals and only received two yellow cards for the whole
season. This left us at the end of the year in a very respectable
fourth position on the ladder, four points behind the team who finished
second. We had some outstanding performances, drawing with Sherbrooke
(who won our Division) with only ten players and comfortably defeating
Eastern United who also gained promotion. The players proved that they
are capable of mixing it with the best with their 'never say die
attitude'.
It would be unfair to single out any individual player as each one gave
their all and wore the Glen Eira Phoenix logo over their hearts as a
badge of honour and respect. Thanks to Marc Cheong for acting as
Manager, to Aidan Jamison as assistant Manager, to Mark Turner for
helping to organise training and a big word of thanks to the small but
hardworking group of individuals who ensured that we had a home ground
to play on each week.
Below are all the players in alphabetical order:
- Andrew Akhnoukh
- Adrian Bronzoni
- Michael Elbaz
- Alan Erpi
- Dominik Gudonowicz
- Kai Haspel
- Aidan Jamison
- Michael Kats
- Andrew King
- Ben Machin (Captain)
- Simon Omer-Cooper
- Daniel Piercy
- Alex Ring
- Luke Rowan
- Val Sinitsyn
- Tom Stanley
- Ben Thompson
- Mark Turner

Great Season, looking
forward to next year and hopefully promotion to First Division.
Noel Turner - Coach
