sydney isn’t really known for our small moody lanes or our artistic architecture (the bridge and the opera house aside). That’s more characterstic of Melbourne. Although, I’ve walked around Sydney a lot and I’ve never seen this before. Just a thought.

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
