Junior Boys Soccer
Soccer season is upon us and PSSA Jnr Boys were excited for a big season. On the last day of the term Homebush West played against Croydon for our first game of the season. The boys were lead by Aryan our goal keeper who made some beautiful saves throughout the game. Pranav took on leadership in the game, helping the boys move into positions, trying to keep formation and being an all-round fair player on the field.
Our training has been focusing on the general rules and ball control. We will start working on keeping our formation on the field and spreading out to use the whole field.
The boys should be proud of how they have represented Homebush West, we have a big season ahead of us. Hopefully next week we’ll get some numbers on the score card.

On the last day of Term 1 Homebush West played against a very energetic Burwood PS! Our senior girls absolutely SMASHED it!!! We went into tackles hard, we used the width of the field and really started to pass to each other! As a result Sabrina secured our team an incredible goal that gave us our very first win! Our defensive back line were impenetrable, a special mention to Koharu and Viktoria for their sensational clearance kicks! All the girls have shown such a huge improvement over the years and it is so fulfilling to see their development take flight!
Your coach is so proud of each and every single one of you! Bring on the season!

On the last Friday of Term 1 the Junior Girls Soccer teams played against Burwood PS in a fantastic friendly to kick start the season! What a game!!! Although both junior teams walked away with a final score of 0-0, they played an intense game showing their readiness for the upcoming season. I am extremely proud of each and every one of the girls. They are so determined and have grasped the skills of soccer so quickly and capably after only just two training sessions. I am so excited for the season ahead! Well done girls!!! Enjoy the well-deserved break.

Senior Mixed Netball
This week we played against Enfield Public School. The A Team tied and scored 3 all, while B team won 5 nil. The matches were extremely intense. The players of the week were Olivia and Elena. It was an exciting and interesting game. The two players of the week showed great defensive and shooting skills. All of the members in A and B team played so well, with most of them playing their first game of netball. Next week, we will aim to improve on our stepping. Well done to both teams for their effort.

The team played their first game of the season against Croydon Public School.
The first half saw Croydon put away two goals to lead at the break which was unfortunate as our boys were playing great football and were unlucky to be behind.
The second half opened with our team piling on the pressure before Croydon scored a nice counter attacking goal. To our boys credit they hung in there and controlled the match.
The hard work paid off when a Milind corner was deftly put away by Javan. A brilliant passing passage followed involving half our team, resulting in Milind’s clever ball across the goal being calmly slotted by Sebastian.
Time was the enemy and the game ended 3-2 to Croydon but we were well on top and were unfortunate not to get the win.
Outstanding effort across the park today with everyone turning in a stellar performance.
Well done boys.

Junior Mixed Netball
This week was the first game of the season for Netball and we played against Enfield Public School.
The Junior A team made great defensive efforts and fantastic attacking raids to the shooting circle. They were able to capitalise on this, scoring two goals to nil.
The B team also played a great defensive game but were defeated by one goal to nil.
