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!
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.
Torrential rain halts play, Mak attacked
Near apocalyptic weather wiped out any chance of the women’s game finishing in Canberra while four hours away at Allianz, the men’s game saw a solid win over Adelaide. Are we seeing a new dawn, a new centreback pairing, a Gowser/Wilko 2.0 in the making? Jake Girdwood-Reich and Hayden Matthews are looking the goods and playing beyond their young, tender years. Listen in as Nic and Sean take you around the grounds, review the weekend’s fixtures and preview this weekend’s games. And…Nic impresses at “Who’s that SFC player?”.
Glorious Gossie Away Days
Lowes bought Hawaiian shirts, pool noodles and even an inflatable doll affectionately named Jasmine made their way to Gosford to witness our boys in blue claim victory in a resounding win against the Mariners. But alas, our girls in blue, despite their dominance could find the back of the net against City in a game ending in a 0-0 stalemate. Jimmy van Weeren joined Jono and Sean for an insightful chat about the SFC academy and namely the SFC NPL team as the NSW NPL season begins this weekend. Listen in for an interview with SFC NPC coach, Jimmy van Weeren.
Star Girls Shine Bright at Leichhardt
Caspers and Vine combine to lift our sky-blue girls to a resounding win against Perth. Cortnee bagging a brilliant brace and Maddie scoring a sublime goal so effortlessly. However, our men squandered a two-nil lead in Hobart against Western. The OG's Jono and Sean with our own star girl, Michelle, dissect the recent SFC happenings with reviews, previews and looking ahead to wearing our Hawaiian best this Saturday evening in Gosford.
