Black Hawks swoop

ON Wednesday night the undefeated Black Hawks staged a late come back to win a gripping grand final in the Korumburra City Soccer Club’s indoor five a side competition.
The Black Hawks overcame The Force at the newly refitted indoor sports complex in the fast paced version of the game.
The competition saw six mixed teams play two 15 minute halves on a small court over a five week period.
Rory Culls organised the competition to encourage pre-season participation.
Being the undefeated finalists the Black Hawks were stunned by the belief and intensity of The Force which led 4-3 at half time.
It was a strong final five minutes, with goals coming from Hayden Smith and Daniel Longdon, that broke the tempo of The Force and claimed the win for Black Hawks 8-5.
Cull added, “It was great to see the progress of new players who had never played before.
“It’s fair to say that everybody enjoyed themselves which is what our club and the game of soccer is about.”
KCSC are looking for senior players for the 2016 season due to get underway on the weekend of April 2 – 3 with the Korumburra Cup.
Potential players are invited to training at 6.30pm Thursday nights at the Richards Recreation Reserve.
KCSC will be looking to run another open indoor competition in the coming weeks.
The club held its Juniors Come and Try day on Sunday at the Richard Street Recreation Reverse.
Good numbers of kids turned up to take part in some skills sessions which were followed by a game and finally a sausage sizzle.
President Glenn Odgers said, “It was great to see so many new faces coming down to have a kick around”.
Juniors coordinator Mick DuVe said, “We have a mixture of experienced coaches and people new to coaching and are trying to pair more experienced coaches with some of our younger players who are keen to start coaching for the first time this year.
“It’s great to see several of the teenagers putting their hand up to help coach the younger teams.”
Registrations are now open for all ages with the beginning of the season less than a month away. Numbers are looking good across all the Junior ages and Korumburra City is looking to field seven Junior teams ranging from Under 7’s to Under 16’s as well as Senior Men’s, Senior Women’s and Reserve’s Men for the 2016 season.
