SUNDAY CANTEEN
We did it! A very special thank you to every single person who has volunteered their personal time to help our club continue to provide our tremendous canteen and bar service on Sunday matchdays. Sunday’s are notoriously difficult logistically, with availability of volunteers very much dependant on whether their child is playing at Taperoo that week.
While we of course appreciate everybody’s efforts, it would remiss of us not to give an extra special thank you to Carolyn Brinkworth (Kitchen), Georgia Kaluza (Barista) and Fran Hughes (Volunteers Coordinator) who made things run as smoothly as possible each and every week. Thank you!

SENIORS UPDATE
Last Saturday saw the Seniors play the second of 3 consecutive games at Taperoo Reserve and they bounced back from their Cobras defeat in the best way possible with a comfortable 4-1 win over Salisbury United. 300 game man James Coley bagged himself a brace, while captain James Skeffington and defender Daniel Pierce were also on the scoresheet. The Reserves continued their fantastic recent form with a 5-2 win, this result was enough to see them move into the top 6. The U18s registered their first draw of the campaign in an entertaining 3-3 stalemate.
In the Collegiate league, it has been a very busy week for the team. Saturday saw the boys defeat Immanuel by 2 goals to 1 to finish the season in 4th place, just one point behind 2nd placed North City and equal on points with 3rd placed St Pauls. This saw the team qualify for the top 4 finals series and the Semi Final against 1st placed Adelaide Thunder took place at Valo Football Centre on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, it was not to be with an impressive Thunder team running out 5-0 winners. Nevertheless, congratulations to the boys on a fantastic year.
Looking ahead in State League 2, Pirates host the always tricky Cove FC at Taperoo Reserve this Saturday, 3rd October in our 2nd last home game of the season. Keep the momentum going fellas!
You can find further information on all the upcoming fixtures, results and league tables on our website.

Port Adelaide Soccer Club
