Solomon Islands futsal international Elliot Ragomo showcased his brilliance in Australia by scoring a hat- trick for his team Dual Warriors in their first finals campaign over the weekend.

Ragomo’s team defeated the Mascot Vipers 4-2 in an epic finals round of the Australian futsal state league at the Menai Indoor Sports stadium.

According to reports, Dural warriors never looked back as Ragomo displayed some individual skill drill to swerve past three defenders before blasting home his first goal.

The crowd witnessed a good and entertaining match and despite its high intensity, the Warriors under head coach Rob Varella looked very sharp all through out the game.

Ragomo added his second goal to his tally with a minute left as he made a clever run beating off guard defenders to place the ball in the back of the net, past the Vipers keeper.

A free kick set up by Ragomo and team mate Rhys Giovenali gave warriors their third goal with Giovenali scoring to give warriors a comfortable lead position.

Close to the end of the game, the match up grew intense but Ragomo scored his third goal to seal the win. He collected the ball at half way and made a run beating the Vipers keeper to easily roll the ball into the goal to send the Mascot Vipers packing.

The Vipers managed to put in two goals but it was not enough for them to make it through.

Dural Warriors will now play Benfica in the semis.

Victoria’s Under 12 girls’ team had a fantastic run during the recent Australian National Futsal Championships in Canberra, reaching the grand final where it fell 4-0 to an accomplished NSW team.

It was the first time in the 31-year history of the tournament that a Victorian U12 team reached the final.

The Vics defeated the ACT Cobras in the semi-final. The final was played in the AIS’s main arena.

Madeline Stockdale of the Brighton Thunderbirds was the Vics leading goal scorer, kicking five of the team’s 14 goals during its seven games.

Lucy Kennedy of the Sandringham Soccer Club was also on the side along with Gabriella Fox (Keilor), Sarina Vallese (Green Gully), Danniella Galluccio (Box Hill), Zoe Stamatopolous (Epping), Rosemaree Scarpino (Brunswick Zebras), Alicia Vakalopoulos (Richmond), Chloe Cini (Sydenham) and goalkeeper Emma Heckenberg (Monash Soccer Club).

The team was coached by South Melbourne’s Sam Mlynarz. Derek Smith, of Keilor and the Australian Futsal Group, served as team manager

Heckenberg played a vital role in goal and also kicked several goals herself during the series. Defenders Vallese, Fox and the cool, calm and experienced Kennedy stopped many opposition attacks on goal

Midfielders Stamatopolous, Gallucio and Vakalopoulos set up many opportunities up front with direct and accurate passing.

Strikers Stockdale, Cini and Scarpino all scored amazing goals under pressure.

IN 2010 THE VICTORIAN FUTBOL & FUTSAL ACADEMIES WILL CONTINUE TO BOOM!

Already operating for over eight years and initially based exclusively out of Oakleigh Recreation Centre, the academies concept for our sport seems to gain greater numbers and results with every year. More than ever witnessed before, many players are gaining genuine acknowledgement for their commitment and efforts by being identified to represent their respective ages at state level both at Futsal and Football. Aside from these obvious results, all novice and intermediate academy reps have developed at astounding rates, in regards to personal goals and targets that they set out to achieve!

Boasting the best coaches in the state and now expanding into the domain of Football due to the newly established partnership with the education arm of the official Brasilian Football fraternity (CBF) and professional club Atletico Mineiro, the opportunities that the academies sought after curriculum and delivery of quality instruction provide, have firmly established themselves, as not only the longest lasting provider of their kind but more importantly the most credentialed.

The Academy now operates out of the following locations:

Ashburton – Ballarat – Brunswick – Dandenong – Doncaster – Hawthorn – Oakleigh & Rowville

In turn it serves to provide the following programs/ courses:

Futsal Specific – Football – Female Specific – Sub Junior Development – Striker School & Goalkeeping academy

Mission statement: The Aim of each of our Programs:

The provision of an optimal sporting preparatory program and realisation of high performance opportunities in Futsal and Football at an elite level, through the development of skills, attitudes and knowledge in players, that will enable them to compete successfully at the highest levels on a regular basis.

The Futsal Community comes together for the ‘Sherry Family’ in their time of Need with four games being played with the highlight of the day being the Australian Futsalroos taking on the NSW Thunder at Dural Sport & Leisure Centre on the 14th of February.

The main attraction will be the Australian Futsalroos v NSW Thunder however three other matches will take place at the Dural Sport & Leisure Centre with all proceeds going to the ‘Sherry Foundation’.

The first match will see the Mascot Vipers Academy side take on the Sydney City Eagles Academy side at 2.15pm while at 2.45, Campbelltown Quake take on the Sydney City Eagles in the Under 12 Boys category.

At 3.15pm the NSW Futsal Referees have a chance to tackle the Football NSW Futsal Premier League and Super League coaches in what should be an exciting affair between the two sides.

Tragically, both Joseph and wife Carole drowned during a family holiday in Ballina in January after trying to save their children Elise and Nicholas from a rip while daughter Monique looked on from the sand.

Both parents were well loved and respected within the community as they touched many people’s hearts.

Entry for Adults is $5 while for children it will be $2.

Inner West Allstars 4 def. Mascot Vipers 2

Inner West 16 Girls marched straight into the Grand Final in fortnight’s time by beating their nearest rivals the Mascot Vipers 4-2 at Menai Indoor Sports Centre.

The Allstars signalled their intentions early when Samantha Bergin weaved her way through the middle of the Vipers defence and stabbed the ball past the keeper to score in the first minute of play.

Doris Osman almost snared a freak goal for the Vipers when she challenged firmly for the ball and the force of the contact sent the ball crashing against the Allstars goalpost from way outside the area.

Shortly after the Allstars went further ahead when Helen Petinos received a quick long throw from the keeper and turned and drilled a low shot into the corner to make the score 2-0.

The Vipers had to step up the pressure to get back into the game and Doris Osman came close but the defence twice blocked close range shots and Ceyda Cambaz also had a shot well saved by the Allstars keeper.

Doris Osman was running hard at the Allstars defence and her pass set up Ceyda Cambaz who smashed the ball into the net to make it 2-1.

The Allstars came out a different side in the second half and Vipers keeper Cassandra Nader made 2 great saves to keep her side in the game early on.

The Allstars pressure finally told and they took a stranglehold on the game when they scored two goals in quick succession.

Marie Svinos found Helen Petinos on the right side and she fired her shot past the advancing keeper to make it 3-1.

Shortly after the Allstars made it 4-1 when Sarah Yatim received the ball with her back to goal then turned and cracked the ball into the net to give her side a formidable lead.

With a three goal cushion the Allstars could afford to get numbers behind the ball and allow the Vipers to come at them.

Nichole Pearce worked hard upfront for the Vipers and came close a couple of times.

But the Allstars were dangerous on the break and Sarah Yatim forced a great save from Cassnadra Nader and Carmel Dimarco hit the post.

Late in the game Helen Orr slotted the ball home to give the Vipers a deserved goal but time ran out for the Vipers and they now get a second chance in next weeks preliminary final.

Despite soaking up a lot of pressure from the Vipers the Allstars always seemed in control of this game and came out and scored when it really mattered. They deservedly will take their place in the Grand Final and this team will be hard to beat.

Sydney City Eagles 3 def. Campbelltown Quake 0

Sydney City went through to the preliminary final by outlasting the Quake in an absorbing competitive game that wasn’t pretty but where every player gave everything they had for their team.

The game was an even contest throughout with both sides having an equal amount of attempts on goal, but the game was noted for it’s mid court battle and committed defending.

Laura Morabito made a fine save to deny an Annika Chapman freekick and Eagles Amy Harrison found Mel Caceres whose shot was well saved by Laura Murtagh an outfield player deputising in goal for regular keeper Dana Buttigieg.

Elizabeth Ralston had a shot saved by Laura Morabito and an Annika Chapman shot grazed the post.

Shortly before half time the Eagles broke the deadlock when Logan Garard received the ball unmarked upfront then turned and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1-0.

In the second half the match continued as an absorbing competitive contest with neither side giving an inch.

Laura Murtagh came out block a Mel Caceres shot that looked a certain goal.

Half way through the second half Sydney City got the breakthrough they needed with two goals in quick succession that sealed the victory.

Angela Mokhtar found some space on the right side and slammed the ball past the keeper to make it 2-0.

Then moments later the Eagles scored again when Logan Garard scored her second of the match when she slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 3-0.

Lucy Chapman fought her way past Eagles defenders but Laura Morabito came out to make a great save and shortly after Laura produced another fine save to deny Elizabeth Ralston.

The Quake weren’t happy with the way the game was refereed but in the end the Sydney City side were able to find ways to break the deadlock and hopefully the win might spur them on for a great performance in the preliminary final next weekend.
