Belmont FC Champions

After having lost just one game all season Belmont FC’s U12’s could be considered unlucky to only have finished in 2nd place just 2 points behind Southern Lakes. With a goal difference that belittled the other teams in the competition (81 goals for and just 6 against) the Belmont side went into their Grand Final full of hope and confidence and a belief that they could win, but it was never going to be an easy task.

We reached out to the coach, Clynt, and this is what he had to say, “It was a day those kids will never forget! A hard fought back and forth football match [we were] missing one of the star defenders [and] the team rose to the challenge I laid out for them, to just play. To play for themselves, to play for each other, to simply enjoy the game they love!! They went down early in the 1st half shipping in a single goal managing to hold the score into the 2nd half where we came alive equalling early on. Both teams couldn’t be separated in extra time so to penalty shoot out it went. With the smallest goal keeper in the competition he stood tall and then dove to his left to make his 1st save! We score our 1st shot. They scored the 2nd shot. We missed our 2nd. With our brave keeper standing up saving the 3rd shot. We scored our 3rd they score their 4th so do we. For the 5th and last our brave boy stands tall and saves another incredible shot!! His brother stepping up slotting away our 5th making it 4-2… the team chasing after the keeper with a big stacks on!! They all played with heart… what a day.”

What a day indeed. Congratulations to the players, the volunteers and the families enduring what has been a tough year and coming out on top.

Grand Final Winners

Congratulations to Belmont FC’s under 18’s who won their Grand Final today in a tightly contested match against Singleton. It was a match play in good spirit by both teams but that by no means detracts from the toughness of the game.

Belmont hit the cross bar twice, once off of Brandon Greenwood’s head and later from a sweetly struck shot from Joel Blackburn’s right boot but were not able to find the back of the net in regular time.

The game went into extra time with a extra 20 minutes to be played (10 minutes each way). Late into the second half of extra time and Nick Elliot was fouled in the box and was awarded a penalty. With just 3 minutes left on the clock, Nick kept his nerve and placed the penalty to the left of the keeper and into the net. The one goal was enough to separate the teams and secure victory for the Belmont FC team.

Congratulations to Dave Grew (Coach), Steve Veale (Manager) and all of the players on what has been a successful season.

Grand Final Winners

Congratulations to our Belmont FC U14’s for winning their Grand Final today 2-1.

It was expected to be a tough game with the semi final between these two teams going to penalties and the crowd weren’t disappointed. With Seaham Bowthorne going into the half time break 1-0 leaders, the Belmont FC team had to lift their intensity to fight back against the competition premiers. Belmont FC scored in the 2nd half, off the boot of Jayden Grozdanovski from a long range free kick taking the game into extra time. The game was end to end but as the clock kept ticking, the Belmont side looked stronger. Belmont managed to score in the 1st half of extra time with Thomas Carvalho slotting home the winning goal. Seaham Bowthorne tried to fight back and had a great shot very late in the game but were denied by a diving save by Goal Keeper Joshua Taylor.

The entire Belmont team played with purpose and can hold their medals proudly as they truly deserve them.

The team:
Joshua Taylor (GK)
Zoey Barlow
Sam Tresidder
Alec Piper
Mitchell Johnson
Matthew Langholz
Jayden Grozdanovski
Aleisha Brewster
Cameron Starrett
Bryce Haddow
Jack Grainger
Thomas Carvalho
Ethan Gorton
Aiden Mitchell
Lincoln Watts (Absent due to injury)

Belmont FC Grand Final Fixtures

Posted on by

Belmont FC have two teams playing Grand Final fixtures on Saturday the 1st September.

Through a bit of good fortune, they are both at the same ground which allows us, the Belmont FC community to really get behind both teams and show our support.

Head down to Chapman Oval (Swansea) to see the All Age team kick off at 12:00pm and the U14’s kick off at 1:15pm.

The All Age team will be taking on Maryland Fletcher and will be out for revenge after Maryland Flecther won the Semi Final 3-2, while the U14’s will take on Seaham Bowthorne, a team which has only tasted defeat once this year and that was at the hands of our side in the Semi Final.

Good luck to both teams. We’d love the see a crowd of blue and gold in support of our teams for the Grand Final matches. Get down there and support your club. Let’s go Belmont FC!!!
