WEDNESDAY MATCHES

Bill Turner Cup final: Narrabeen Sports 3 (Greenberg 2, Evans) defeated Endeavour Sports 0

Narrabeen Sports High has created a slice of history with the school winning its first-ever Bill Turner Cup after a 3-0 win over fellow Sydney school Endeavour Sports in the final.

A blistering second-half performance delivered the Sydney northern beaches team its win, with three goals in a white-hot eight-minute period avenging the school’s 1997 loss – its only previous finals appearance – against Westfields.

Forward Noah Greenberg was the hero for Narrabeen, scoring a stunning double before Cai Evans put the icing on the cake with a 50th minute penalty after he was brought down in the box by Endeavour captain Taj De Mito.

“Today, after having been dominated a bit, we absolutely killed the game in that second half. We were aggressive, brave, played attacking football and pressed well. I think the performance was really good,” Narrabeen coach James Snedden said.

“As soon as they got one I think they actually believed they could win the game, and as soon as they had more belief that gave more purpose to what they were trying to do in their decisions and their actions and they scored the goals.”

Double-goalscorer Greenberg, who was also named player of the match, was equally thrilled with the result.

“It’s crazy winning a national competition. I’m just really excited and happy,” he said.

In an even first half, Endeavour forward Antonio Arena had the best early chance in the 16th minute but shot straight at Narrabeen’s keeper Louis Jones. He crept in behind Narrabeen’s defence again six minutes later after some nice link-up play down the right-hand side, but once again shot straight at Jones.

It was a big day for Narrabeen Sports High.

Although Endeavour shaded possession, Narrabeen were dangerous on the counter.

Just before half-time, midfielder Doug John released Noah Greenberg on the break. The forward shot well from 25 metres and forced a great diving save out of Endeavour’s keeper Jonte Stark-Harris.

Scores were locked at 0-0 at the break, however Narrabeen asserted their dominance in the second period, with Joe Lacey’s incredible strike from 30 metres only denied by a spectacular diving save from Stark-Harris.

Narrabeen finally broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute, when Greenberg arrived at the near post to tuck away a lovely cross from Evans.

“We’ve been practising it at training, so that work really paid off,” said Greenberg.

He doubled the score in the 48th minute, putting away a lovely John through ball and sparking wild celebrations from teammates and travelling supporters.

Two minutes later Evans put the game beyond any doubt, converting a penalty he won after breaking down the left wing.

Bill Turner Trophy grand final: Westfields Sports High 1 (Indiana Dos Santos) defeated Central Coast Sports College 0

Westfields Sports High has continued its dominance of the Bill Turner Trophy and created a slice of history by winning a fourth straight tournament after a 1-0 win over Central Coast Sports College.

A wonderful second-half strike from player of the match Indiana Dos Santos was enough to seal the win for the Sydney school.

Westfields controlled possession from the outset, with Catalina Wyrzynski enjoying the first real chance, shooting just wide after making a break down the left wing.

Wyrzynski had another chance two minutes later, skying a cross the right-hand side over the crossbar.

Dos Santos was a key player for Westfields during this period, gliding past a number of players before firing just over the bar from 20 metres out.

Dos Santos was in the thick of it again, stinging the palms of Central Coast’s keeper with a powerful strike from 25 metres.

Despite Westfields’ dominance, the Central Coast side were dangerous on the counter, with Claire Denning and Ava Carlson a threat going forward.

Westfields picked up where they left off after the break, with Kiara Bonora firing off a shot from range before Dos Santos finally broke the deadlock after 35 minutes.

Picking up the ball about 25 metres out, the attacking midfielder beat two defenders before smashing the ball past Central Coast’s keeper to give Westfields a 1-0 lead.

Westfields are the Bill Turner Trophy winners yet again

The Sydney team had a golden chance to seal the match seven minutes later when Wyrzynski fed a lovely ball through to Bonora who shot wide.

They were almost made to pay for their wayward finishing a couple of minutes later when Westfields’ keeper Isabella Coelho parried a shot from Central Coast captain Alexia Karas against the crossbar.

Westfields kept pushing for a second, with Amelia Cassar hitting the crossbar with a left-footed shot on 53 minutes.

However, one goal proved to be enough for Westfields, who claimed their fourth straight Bill Turner Trophy and 14th overall.

Westfields coach Victoria Guzman

On the performance:

“The girls really showed up and were ready to go. It was nice to see the older girls rise to the occasion in the grand final and put in a really good performance.”

On player of the match Indiana Dos Santos

“She’s an incredible player and she can do really well with the players around her. She went down injured early, but she really showed her character, got up and kept playing, and it was fantastic to see her get the award (player of the match), because she’s been a very important player for us throughout the series.”

It has also been 10 years since Victoria herself won the Bill Turner Trophy as a player with Westfields

“It’s exciting. This school means a lot to me. Being back here coaching is a very special opportunity for me… Everyone at school has been great, so I’m very happy. It was nice to play well today and actually win, so I was very happy for all the girls and we’ll see how these young ones go next year.”

Churchie had to settle for a share of third place.

Cup third place playoff: Hunter Sports High 2 (Buettner, Miller) drew with Anglican Church Grammar 2 (Ren, Herrington)

Both Hunter Sports High and Brisbane’s Anglican Church Grammar have shared the spoils in their third-place play-off in the Bill Turner Cup, drawing 2-2 in an entertaining game.

A powerful header from Churchie defender Lucas Herrington two minutes from time levelled the scores and ensured both teams finished in joint third spot.

Just as they have done throughout the finals series, Hunter Sports jumped quickly out of the blocks, with Makye Buettner slashing across goal after just 25 seconds.

Despite Hunter controlling the early possession, the best chance of the early stages fell to Churchie’s Quinn MacNicol, who sprayed his shot from inside the box wide of the right-hand post.

The Brisbane team’s keeper, Josh Tanner, was the far busier of the two, pulling off a spectacular diving save from a left-footed shot from Hunter midfielder Jayden Ritchie in the 18th minute. He then backed that up with two more important saves over the next three minutes to keep the scores level.

Just before half-time Churchie then took the lead somewhat against the run of play, when Daniel Ren looped a left-foot shot over Hunter Sports’ keeper Jayden Borgia.

Alex Nunes was named player of the series.

Hunter’s pressure finally paid off five minutes after the break, when Buettner headed in a cross from player of the series Alex Nunes to level scores at 1-1.

Noah Miller then put the hosts in front with a stunning 25-metre strike eight minutes from time. It appeared that would be enough for Hunter, however Herrington’s header ensured the scores remained level.

Trophy third place playoff: Cairns State High 2 (Valentina Oberdan, Taryn Knight) defeated Rowville Secondary College 0

Cairns State High has finished off its Bill Turner Trophy campaign in style, winning the third-place play-off against Victoria’s Rowville Secondary College 2-0 in the distance derby.

There is 2800km between the two schools, but they met on neutral territory at the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility.

Cairns got off to a dream start with forward Valentina Oberdan heading in from a corner to give the north Queensland team the lead after just three minutes.

Cairns’ midfielder Alana Hill was busy in the midfield while Oberdan was a threat down the left wing.

In the 16th minute striker Taryn Knight doubled the lead, outmuscling the Rowville defence and shooting from the top of the box to make it 2-0.

Rowville worked its way back into the game and almost halved the lead just before half-time when a Kiera Meyers shot from 25 metres out rattled the crossbar.

Rowville keeper Gemma Mackenzie and Cairns’ Elina Lawesson were both called into action in the second half, but the scores remained 2-0.

TUESDAY MATCHES

REPLAY: Endeavour outlast plucky Hunter Sports High

Endeavour Sports High have shown their character and defensive resolve, soaking up immense pressure to beat local hopes Hunter Sports High 2-1 in extra time in their action-packed Bill Turner Cup semi-final.

Midfielder Stefan Markovski was the hero for Endeavour, scoring a double to send the Sydney school through and giving them the chance to avenge their 2019 final defeat to Ipswich Grammar.

While Markovski grabbed the headlines, Endeavour largely had its defence to thank for the win, with Hunter Sports dominating large parts of the game and failing to capitalise on their numerous chances to put the semi-final to bed.

Buoyed by the local support, the hosts were quick out of the blocks, with captain Alex Nunes just firing just wide with a shot in the second minute.

In a high-tempo game, Nunes was a constant threat for the locals going forward, with Will Dobson another strong performer in midfield.

For Endeavour, midfielders Markovski and Taj de Mito were tidy on the ball, and in fact it was Markovski who opened the scoring when he snuck in at the back stick to put away a cross in the eighth minute.

Endeavour took the lead into half-time, however it took Hunter Sports just 30 seconds to respond after the break, with Nunes sneaking down the left wing to put in a cross for Makye Buettner, who buried his shot past Endeavour keeper Jonte Stark-Harris.

The locals gradually gained the ascendency, heading over in the 54th minute and going close again two minutes later. Hunter’s Rhys Butler then had a golden opportunity to seal the game three minutes from time but slashed over from 15 metres.

In almost a carbon copy of the start of the game, Nunes went agonisingly close once just 20 seconds into extra time, with his left-footed shot from inside the box just going wide. Four minutes later Noah Miller fired over from 12 metres out.

Endeavour was seemingly holding on for dear life, with keeper Stark-Harris pulling off a miraculous save from a long-distance shot from Kye Schumacher.

However Hunter were forced to pay for their inability to finish, with Markovski once again sneaking onto the end of a cross in the 74th minute to seal the golden-goal win for Endeavour, sparking jubilant scenes from his teammates and supporters.

Endeavour will play in an all-Sydney final against Narrabeen Sports High tomorrow, while Hunter Sports will play Brisbane’s Anglican Church Grammar in the third-place play-off.

REPLAY: Narrabeen break through to historic final after semi-final heartstopper

Narrabeen Sports High has qualified for its first Bill Turner Cup final in 25 years after overcoming Brisbane’s Anglican Church Grammar in a heart-stopping penalty shootout.

Churchie’s Levi Collins fired wide in the second sudden-death round of penalties to see the Sydney school prevail 5-4 in the shootout after scores were locked at 1-1 after extra time.

Both goalkeepers were immense throughout the game, with Narrabeen’s Louis Jones and Churchie’s Josh Tanner making several crucial saves to keep their respective teams in the contest.

It was a fairly even opening to the game with Narrabeen captain Doug John impressing in midfield and Churchie’s Daniel Ren offering a dangerous outlet up front.

The first real chance didn’t come until the 23rd minute when Churchie captain Lucas Herrington forced a save out of Jones.

While the teams went into half-time locked at 0-0, it only took two minutes for the Brisbane team to break the deadlock.

Herrington struck a free kick from 25 metres out, however Narrabeen keeper Jones was only able to parry it as far as Churchie’s Hiro Sugimura, who jumped onto the scraps and put the ball away from close range.

Narrabeen pushed hard for an equaliser and continually tested out Churchie’s goalkeeper Josh Tanner.

Just when it appeared as though the Brisbane team would hold on, Narrabeen defender Caelan Marshall-Witt headed in a wicked free kick from Jared Muir two and a half minutes before full time to send the game into extra time.

Under Bill Turner Cup rules, once a game goes to extra time, each team is then required to bring off a player every five minutes. If the scores are still level after two 10-minute halves, then the game will be decided by penalties.

Both sides pushed hard for the win in extra time, with Narrabeen keeper Jones denying the Brisbane team with a diving save mid-way through the second half of extra time.

With scores level after extra time the game went to penalties.

Narrabeen had the advantage when Churchie captain Herrington fired over with his team’s second shot, and the team from the Northern Beaches had the chance to seal the win with their fifth penalty.

However in another twist to the contest, Churchie goalkeeper Tanner pulled off a wonderful save from Narrabeen’s Dash Trecartin, forcing the shootout into sudden death.

Narrabeen’s Jasper Chipman overcame the pressure to slot his penalty, with Narrabeen players then swamping their keeper Jones after his pressure forced Collins to fire wide.

Narrabeen 1 (Marshall-Witt) defeated Anglican Church Grammar 1 (Sugimura) on penalties (5-4)

REPLAY: Central Coast unstoppable on run to the grand final

Central Coast Sports College has set up a blockbuster all-NSW final against Westfields Sports High in the Bill Turner Trophy after a comprehensive 6-0 victory over Victorian school Rowville Secondary College.

Playing in front of a healthy contingent of travelling fans, the Central Coast side took the lead in the 10th minute when Claire Denning latched onto a cross and put it past Rowville’s keeper.

Denning then turned provider three minutes later, breaking down the right wing and putting in a lovely cross for Ava Carlson, who turned the ball in from close range.

The Victorian side started to work itself into the game, with Rowville’s Annabelle Yates forcing a save out of Central Coast’s keeper on 21 minutes, while a couple of minutes later Kiera Meyers broke into Central Coast’s box but shot across goal.

Denning was a constant threat for the Central Coast side and put the game beyond any doubt in the 39th minute with an absolute stunner. Breaking down the right hand side, the attacker shot from close to the sideline to loop Rowville’s keeper and make it 3-0.

In the 47th minute it was 4-0 with captain Alexia Karas running onto a cross and slotting it past Rowville’s keeper, while three minutes later Tikka Jeffrey made it five after finishing off a nice move down the left wing.

Andie Chaseling then completed the scoring with a left-foot strike just before full-time.

Rowville fought hard for a consolation goal late in the game, forcing a couple of reflex saves out of Central Coast’s keeper.

The win will see Central Coast, playing in its first finals series, taking on Bill Turner Trophy royalty Westfields Sports in the final, while Cairns State will play against Rowville in the third-place play-off.

Central Coast Sports College 6 (Claire Denning 2, Ava Carlson, Alexia Karas, Tikka Jeffery, Andie Chaseling) defeated Rowville Secondary College 0

REPLAY: Westfields storm into Bill Turner Trophy final

Westfields Sports High is the first team through to the Bill Turner Trophy final and in doing so kept alive its dream of winning a fourth-straight tournament after a clinical 5-1 victory over Cairns High School in the first semi-final.

It was a dominant performance from the Sydney school, who controlled possession from the outset, with Mia Golding and Amelia Cassar linking up well down the right-hand side.

Despite Westfields’ early dominance, Cairns had the first real chance of the game in the 11th minute when striker Taryn Knight swooped on a loose ball and fired just over from 20 metres.

However Westfields were ultimately the first to strike, with Cassar running onto a lovely through ball and firing in from the top of the box to make it 1-0 after 14 minutes.

They made it 2-0 three minutes later when Cecilia Valetta shot from the top of the box and squeezed the ball between the keeper and the near post.

Midfielder Catalina Wyrzynski, who was a standout for Westfields, made it 3-0 in the 24th minute when she pounced on a rebound from Cairns’ keeper and put the ball in from close range.

Striker Aiyana Fernandez then capped off a clinical first-half performance and made it 4-0 after running onto a lovely through ball and putting it past Cairns’ keeper.

Cairns State showed plenty of fight in the second half, hitting back just two minutes after the break to make it 4-1.

However Westfields ultimately proved too strong, heading in from a corner in the 37th minute to seal the comfortable 5-1 victory.

PREVIEW: New kids on the block ready to shake up national finals

Westfields Sports High are the traditional Bill Turner Trophy powerhouse, but this year a new kid on the block is determined they won’t have everything their own way.

Ahead of the semifinals at Lake Macquarie on Tuesday, September 6 and Wednesday, September 7, Central Coast Sports High girls have emerged as a real tournament threat, which isn’t bad for a school that only opened in 2013.

KommunityTV will be showing all Bill Turner Cup and Trophy finals games exclusively LIVE from 11am on Tuesday. The girls’ final four features Westfields, Central Coast, Victorian school Rowville and north Queensland’s Cairns State High.

Westfields have won the last three finals and 13 all up in the 30-year history of the tournament

For the Central Coast, it’s their first time in the final four.

“We’re super proud of the improvements we’ve made over such a short period of time,” says coach Daniel Barrett.

“It’s a start-up school – the school started from scratch at the very beginning – and a lot of emphasis has gone into our female football program.”

It seems that emphasis is reaping plenty of rewards. Across its seven-game path to the semi-finals, the school has scored a remarkable 48 goals and conceded just three.

They put out Hunter Sports High in the round of 32 before hitting a remarkable 21 to fly past St John’s Woodlawn and another eight to smash All Saints Maitland in last week’s Northern NSW decider.

“It’s been interesting because we go into every game unknown in regards to our opposition,” says Barrett.

“We don’t know the calibre of the teams we play against, we just concentrate on our own performance – and what we’ve achieved so far has been remarkable.”

Alexia Karas (black shirt) is the driving force behind Central Coast.

First up next week is Rowville Secondary College in the semifinals. The Victorian side have been just as good on their way to the final four. Get through that tough encounter and Westfields, who play Cairns State High, could possibly lie in wait.

“They’ve probably been the benchmark school in football when it comes to school-based competitions, both male and female,” says Barrett.

“So to be at the pointy end of the competition with them is not only a great achievement, but then if we win our semi-final and have the opportunity to play against Westfields, then that would be a bit of a gauge as to where we are.”

The Central Coast team, led by their centre-midfield captain Alexia Karas, is made up of girls playing across a mix of clubs, from the youth academies of the Central Coast Mariners and Newcastle Jets, to a series of Sydney-based clubs.

Among the standouts have been attackers Eliza Familton and Ava Carlson, who will both represent NSW in the national youth championships in Coffs Harbour later this month.

“Both girls have been fantastic attacking threats for us, and have created and scored a lot of goals,” says Barrett.

“They’ve been very consistent in every game that we’ve played.”
