gOLD SPICE OVER 40’S VICTORIOUS
Once again gOLD SPICE proved too good against their interstate opposition, following on from last
years bronze medal at The Australian Masters Games, the ‘spice boys’ decided a trip interstate to
Adelaide was in order. Three matches were played against a slightly younger opposition – 3 teams
from the Adelaide over 35’s league! Match 1 was a 1-0 victory against the Uni Blacks which was
dominated by gOLD SPICE who found it difficult to score more than 1 due to excellent goalkeeping
from the Blacks, when the goal came it was a sublime ‘tap in’ from Kent Glen ‘Springer’ . 2nd
match we played a well organized Man City team, once again running out 1-0 winners with a goal
from Ian ‘a goal every 1 ½ games’ Irvine. 3rd match was against The Taverners, the spicers
dominated them from the start banging in 4 goals with goals from Clarky ‘Smeltz’, 2 more from that
man Ian Irvine and a forth from ‘Tezza’ cross ‘em in’ Attwood. Three clean sheets for ‘Pablito’ O’
Connor summed up our weekend and our great team performance. Who’s next ? watch out
Tasmania!

4th Annual FAMILY FUN 6 -A -SIDE
SOCCER TOURNAMENT 2010



CASTLEMAINE GOLDFIELDS ANNUAL FAMILY FUN 6-A-SIDE TOURNAMENT
To kick off the up coming soccer season for 2010 CGFC held their annual family fun soccer
tournament on the weekend @ Chewton Soldiers’ Memorial Park. it was a fantastic tournament
with 16 family teams entered, the format was 6-a-side with each team required to play at least 1
female, 1 over 30 yr old and 1 under 14yr old in their teams, the games were 10 min halves.
Each team played a round robin with 4 divisions of 4 teams each with the top 2 from each div
going through to the knock–out phase.
After hard fought round robin matches the final 8 were: the Moores et al, Hacking Turbos, Inter,
Team Blue, Slightly optimistic, Deadly dinosaurs, Castlemaine Victory & The Maine Monkeys.
In the knock-out phase Castlemaine Victory went down to the Moores et al, Inter muscled their
way through a penalty shootout against Team Blue, The Maine Monkeys – (last year’s runners –
up and this year’s favourites) had a shock loss to Seriously Optimistic, the Hacking Turbos
buried the Deadly Dinosaurs.
That made the semi match-up Hacking Turbos vs Slightly Optimistic & Inter vs the Moores Et Al..
Both matches went down to the wire with the Hacking Turbos winning a penalty shootout and
making their first final, Inter won their match 4-1 against a resilient Moores Et Al..
The final was played out between the might and height of Inter and the tenacity of the very young
and small Hacking Turbos, the first half was fairly equal with Inter going in with a 2-0 lead, the
Turbos battled away all the 2nd ½ and finally went down 4-1, well done Turbos (the crowd
favourites!!) and well done Inter for a great performance throughout the tournament. The trophy
was accepted by Tahnee Ollerton who was nominated as Inter’s player of the tournament.
A great family day was had by all and the football was played in great spirits well done everyone
and thanks to all the volunteers who made this day happen especially the organizer Terry
Attwood.
