Season: 2023-24
Back-to-Back Champions!
Our girls in Sky- Blue have done it again! In what was undoubtedly one of the toughest seasons to date for SFC, with all the injuries, squad changes and other trials and tribulations, our girls were crowned champions again with a 1-0 win over City. The dynasty continues. Our men thrashed the Bulls in their elimination final with a few banging goals that got the crowd well and truly off their seats. Some padawans were in the hosting chair this week with Michelle, Nic and Jamie discussing all things SFC. Listen in to hear an awesome interview with Championship winner and all-round legend Tori Tumeth.
Seventh Heaven, 7th Consecutive Grand Final
An emphatic win with the men banging in 7 goals against lowly Perth. Our sky-blue women book themselves a grand final against bitter rivals City and are looking to be back to back Champions. A HUGE weekend ahead for the club! Michell and Sean dissect last weekend's worth of games and discuss the elimination and grand final. So, whether you get down to Melbourne or over to Moore Park, cheer loudly and proudly to help both teams get the win!
True Grit – Sky Blue Edition
As the Sydney girls put in a performance even Rooster Cogburn would be proud of, the boys suffered some post derby blues and lost to 9 men in Sydney's South-West. Michelle 'Laila Ali' Morris & Jono 'sniffles' Finger take you through the Sky Blue Week that was
SUPER SYDNEY FC!
Outrageous. Sensational. Triumphant. A rollercoaster ride of emotions took place last Saturday evening for the third and final derby of the season. The fellas were immense and did us proud. This week's ep sees the return of Jamie 'All Sides of the Harbour' (ASOTH) Dunkin, with Michelle and Sean taking on hosting responsibilities. We dissect the derby and look ahead to the fellas' 2nd to last round and the girls taking on CCM in their first of two games semi-final.
I see red, I see red, I see red
Two red cards, one draw in the west and a tough loss up in Newy. Ooft. It was not a good week for all us sky-blue supporters and lovers. Putting that behind us and looking forward to the third and final derby of the season with 3 games to go in the season. A big game for a variety of reasons. A must win. Michelle, Jono and Sean go around the grounds, reflect on the past week and optimistically look ahead to this weekend's game.
Our girls miss out on history, our men impressed
Our women's team, although gallant in defeat, misses out on etching themselves in the history books, while our men deliver a stellar performance with a couple of sumptuous goals against the Mariners. Tune in for insights into our impressive youth team against European academy heavyweights and a very perplexing "Who's that Sydney FC player?"
Back From Across the Ditch With Only 3 Points
The Phoenix rose in the men's game, coming from a goal down to nab all three points but our Sky Blue women belted four past in their game with Cortnee scoring a brilliant brace to claim victory and leave the Nix women wallowing in ashes. Looking ahead, our men will be keen to get back to winning ways, and our women are sitting atop the ALW table with finals in sight. Thankfully Michelle has retained her superfan status solving this week's "Whose that SFC player?".
A Game To Live Long In Our Memories!
Brilliant. Exciting. United. Relentless. Super Sydney FC. Just some ways to describe a Saturday night that will live long in our memories due to wins from both our Men’s and Women’s teams over the scourge of the West. We love a 6 point weekend! Capo Fantastic, Winston Getry, also joined us for a wonderful chat about all things Sky-Blue and active support. We’re very fortunate to have such an energetic and passionate Capo and one that equally appreciates the active support of The Cove – the best active support of the league.
New Kids on the Block
Don't adjust your dials…don't be alarmed…this week we have a youthful and exotic flavour to the podcast. With Jules busy rising up the coaching ranks, Sean with one-week calf injury and international duties for Jono, Michelle and Nic have undertaken the hosting duties this week in a very admirable fashion. A massive weekend of fixtures ahead as there's double derby delight with our men's and women's teams taking on the scummy westies whilst our NPL fellas tackle St George on the back of their first win last week against Manly.
