First XI vs King’s 4-1 win

In the 4th Round of the GPS Plate competition, the Shore First XI secured a decisive 4-1 victory against King’s in a great display of tactical prowess. The match began with right midfielder Sam O’Brien scoring an early header from a set piece. King’s quickly responded with an equaliser, but Shore regained control with Liam McFarlane netting a goal to end the first half 2-1. Shore entered the second half full of energy, applying a high press that led to Will Procter‘s clinical finish for our third goal. Throughout the second half, Shore’s defence remained solid, preventing any further threats from King’s. The final goal came from an impressive header by Liam McFarlane, assisted by Tom Maslen, sealing the 4-1 victory. Shore’s consistent and tactical performance in both defence and attack ensured their well-deserved win.

Sixth XI vs Kings 3-0 win

Another outstanding game for the Sixth XI against a strong King’s outfit. The boys dominated from early on and maintained a strong pace throughout. Tom George and Sean Mount scored impressive goals in the first half, proving we had control of the game. Shore came out strong in the second half, with Marcus Warner displaying his new-found football talent, scoring our third goal. Ramon Zhang proved his worth in goals, answering all of King’s attempts in the second half, securing a 3-0 victory for our boys. Every player exhibited highly skilled performances, with Charlie Michel taking the points with his determination and communication on field. This team of good mates is a force to be reckoned with- bring on next Saturday.
