On yet another beautiful day in Canberra, Narrabundah took the field against high flying ANU and from the off it was clear ANU were not going to take a step back playing, as they were, for top spot. Three early goals effectively sealed the match in the first half, but Narrabundah restored some pride, winning the second half 2-1.

Division 5 fightback from loss at UC to share the spoils in trivia

Guest Post from Remy Ellis

Narrabundah FC 1

UC 3

The division 5 boys came out of the blocks flying as Tim McConkey scooped the lucky door prize and their table, “Pass the ball Scotty Please”, won the award for best name. As play settled down, they put in a solid if unspectacular early shift to be in 3rd at the first break, only a few points off the lead.

On a windy day in the deep south, a resurgent Narrabundah put in a steely performance to see off a hardworking but limited Brindabella side. A Quiroga brace sandwiched efforts from Paulo and Russell in what was in the end a flattering score line for the Tuggeranongese side.

True to form, coming into the game as rank underdogs against a high flying Tuggeranong team that hadn’t dropped points since the last time the two teams met, Narrabundah rose to the occasion to take a creditable point, but it could have been so much more for the plucky home side.

Christmas in July as Narrabundah Gift Woden 3 Goals and 3 Points

Saturday, 4 July 2009

Narrabundah FC 1
P. Romero 23′

Woden Valley 4
A. Gift 15′, 66′, 80′; Tiny 87′

Narrabundah continued to leak goals this weekend as three more were gifted to another unspectacular but hardworking opponent. Although Narrabundah turned out possibly their worst performance of the year, the score line did not do justice to a match which for the most part was very close and in which Narrabundah spurned 3-4 excellent chances to go ahead at 1-1. This result leaves Narrabundah at least 4 points adrift of 4th place and any hope of finals football is fading fast.

A resurgent Narrabundah came up against cellar dwellers Belconnen Utd in what was expected to be a comfortable day out for the reds. And so it was to prove with early goals to Dziubinski and Paulo Romero settling Narrabundah early and late goals sealing what was an assured performance.

Juventus 0

Narrabundah FC 3
Dziubinski 55′, 78′, P. Romero 81′

Narrabundah overcame a self destructing Juventus team in an all too predictably dirty match, marred by language not fit for anyone under 47, horrendous challenges, off-the-ball kicks and abuse, diving and general skulduggery. Substitute referee Kael Da Costa bravely offered his services before the match and it probably only took five minutes for him to truly regret that decision, although he performed admirably given the conditions.
