August 2016

Our Over 35 C’s lift their trophy in victory – congratulations!

Our 2016 Winter Finals campaign came to a close for Penshurst West this past weekend.

Congratulations to our Over 35 C’s, who defeated Forest Rangers this past Sunday to win their Grand Final in Rockdale.

A cracking goal from Andrew Bosco put Penshurst West in the lead in the first half. Solid defence and strong counter attacks sealed the win 1-0.

After finishing regular time drawn at 1-1, our AAA1s entered extra time against Forest Rangers with everything to gain last Saturday.

A contentious decision to call a striking Penshurst West header offside allowed Rangers to respond with a goal that would put them through to the Grand Final against Rockdale this coming weekend.

Congratulations to the team on a strong performance and for doing your club proud in the finals.

Our 13B1 team went down 3-2 in a close encounter with Connells Point last Saturday morning. Well done to the team on progression so far in the competition – you’re a credit to your club!

Thank you to all the players and coaches that have made the 2016 Season so memorable for Penshurst West. 

We look forward to seeing you next season! 

Congratulation to the AAA 1sts who came from a 0-3 behind and then ended up at full time with a 3-3 draw. This took the game into extra time and they came out with a 5-3 win! All this on top of a late 7pm finish. Well done guys!!!

Good luck next week as you head into the finals!

Please be advised that the Olds Park Sports Club is holding its AGM this Sunday at 11:00am.

All financial PWFC members who belong to the sports club are encouraged to attend and support the club.

The OPSC is one of our major sponsors and the committee would appreciate the support to ensure a continuation of this relationship.

Dear PWFC Club Members,

I would like to thank all our junior and senior players for participating in this year’s football competition. I trust that you all had an enjoyable season making new friendships and catching up with old ones. As the season concludes I hope to see you return to our Club next season.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say how proud I am of our Club disciplinary record that we have achieved this season. To have no need for any player to attend a disciplinary hearing throughout the season is an outstanding record for a Club of our size. I thank our wonderful RTO’s, parents and volunteers for making this possible along of course with our players. Particular thanks to those who put so much effort in every week in coaching and caring for other people’s most precious possession, their child.

To all our senior players and very old ones, thank you once again for a relatively calm season and I must say supportive one, where more than ever before, senior male and female teams were out there with encouraging banter from the side line.

Our wonderful canteen workers, Sarah and her hard working mother Melita, thank you both so much. To all the volunteers that manned the BBQ a big thank you for all of your support.

To the committee of 2016, thank you all for your hard and diligent work, from lodging match sheets, to prepping gear, website updates with latest information, grading teams, repairing equipment, TeamApp messages to ensure vital messages got through to all members, to fundraising, accounting etc etc. the list goes on and on. This from a group of dedicated people, one third of who only have a child playing in the Club, is a great acknowledgement of every person’s character and devotion to our Club. Thank you my friends on behalf of all.

Lastly, to our Club secretary who put her hand up half way through last year under difficult circumstances and took the role on this year and absolutely smashed it. Your perseverance and diligence has truly made 2016 a year to reflect on. The effort and rapport you have not only with your fellow committee members but also more importantly within the Club. To you my dearest, thank you for your honesty and support.

Yours sincerely,

Gino Sacilotto

Penshurst West FC Club President
