Sydney played a lot better this week. They used the width of the pitch well and were rewarded with two goals. The Scots defence was a bit scrappy and struggled to deal with attacks coming in from the wings. To their credit, though, Scots looked to have the edge in aerial play but failed to exploit this advantage. Final Score 2-0 to Sydney Boys.

Right from the start  Sydney were pushing forward deep into the Scots defensive half

A lot of Sydney’s attacks started out wide

Scots’ goal keeper was unluck not to clear the ball and ended up conceeding a goal

St Josephs College vs Sydney Boys.  It was a tight game and it really could have gone either way. There was good play out wide by both teams and a good build up, especially by SJC. This was also a special occasion for Sydney - With their Firsts Rugby team disappearing this was the first time ever that the Sydney Boys First and Second division Opens football teams were allowed to play on the number one field. Unfortunately Sydney’s defence was just caught out of positions a few times in the match and that’s what cost them the game. Final Score 2-1 to SJC.

SJC looked to be dominant in the first few minutes of the game but Sydney Boys eventually settled in






Unfortunately it was SJC who recorded a goal first
The scoreline really doesn’t say much about Sydney Boy’s defence though. They were able to react pretty well to most situations


I’m not sure who’s more scared. The defender (blue and brown) or the goal keeper

Just a quick update on where I’ve been. I shot the Seconds soccer match between Sydney Boys and Kings over the weekend. The final score was 4-1 to Kings but Sydney Boys were a bit unlucky not to have scored a few more of their own.

Sydney boys got close a few times in the first half

But they didn’t get on the scoreboard so the coach got motivational at half time

Apparently it worked



They were unlucky not to score twice

I’ve posted up quite a few portraits recently so I thought i should go with something a bit different this time so I’m going with these shots at the beach. Simon loves swimming. In summer he goes swimming even at 5pm when it’s getting kind of dark and people are starting to go home. He was planning on doing surfing lessons a while back, but that’s still in the pipelines. In the meantime, there’s always body surfing. And nobody does that better than Simon. Seriously! We were in Port Macquarie and I decided to take my camera out and have a little bit of fun.





I think he slipped. The water was really warm though so he decided to lie in it for a while

I had an interesting insight into GPS tennis the other day. I agreed to shoot a tennis match for my brother and I was told “we’re going to lose but we’re going to hit harder than them so it will look like we’re winning”. Interesting. But then again, Kings has such a good reputation in most sports and Sydney Boys is so lacking that the outcome seemed so certain.  Sydney Boys did a good job though. They didn’t win but they did manage to hold their own for most of the day.
