In the quarter-finals of the CIS Plate Cup, the Shore First XI displayed a commanding performance, securing a resounding 7 – 0 victory over Northern Beaches Christian School. From the outset, Shore dominated possession and dictated the pace of the game. Angus Leslie<\/strong> was a standout player, netting a hat trick that showcased his exceptional finishing skills. Shore’s relentless pressure paid off early with two goals in the first-half, setting the tone for the match. Despite some promising attacking passages from Northern Beaches Christian School, they were unable to break through Shore’s solid defence. In the second-half, Shore intensified their attack, adding five more goals to their tally. Hamish Walls<\/strong>, Braden Dent<\/strong>, Liam McFarlane<\/strong>, and Will Proctor<\/strong> each contributed to the scoreboard. Overall, Shore’s continual work rate ensured a comprehensive win. The final score line, 7 – 0, reflected Shore’s dominance throughout the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a tightly contested match in the third round of the GPS plate, the Shore First XI faced Riverview away and managed to come away with a narrow yet deserved 1 – 0 victory, thanks to a decisive second-half set piece goal delivered by Braden Dent<\/strong> and headed in by Charlie Mattison<\/strong>. The match was a defensive showcase for Shore, with centre-backs Ben Hadfield<\/strong> and Tom Robson<\/strong>, along with goalkeeper Killian Featherstone<\/strong>, putting in stellar performances to maintain a clean sheet. Riverview’s technical skill and rapid ball movement posed a constant threat, but Shore’s defence stood firm, thwarting numerous attacks. Additionally, Shore’s high and aggressive press throughout the match disrupted Riverview’s play, making it difficult for them to establish their rhythm. The lone goal came after sustained pressure from Shore. Shore’s disciplined defence and strategic pressing were key factors in their victory, ensuring they kept Riverview at bay and secured the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 16C\u2019s inaugural match for the season was played in a structured manner, which resulted in a favourable outcome, where they launched into the season with a commanding win over their rival. There were some excellent combinations of short passing build ups from the middle third to the top third, which allowed them to capitalise on several fronts. Joe Stephens<\/strong> should be commended for his dedication and commitment to the team, as we later found out through him that he had a cold. There were too many memorable performances to report, but the team showed composure, which was admirable at this early stage of the season. Tom Munn<\/strong> and Miller George\u2019s<\/strong> passing game was of high quality, while Eddie Brooks<\/strong> tenacity up front was a menace for the opponents. Will Cribb<\/strong> and Lachlan Richards<\/strong> midfield commitment won dominance centrally. Jack Holland,<\/strong> along with Harry Clough<\/strong>, Jack Gillespie<\/strong>, Joe Stephens<\/strong>, and Henry Marshall,<\/strong> who all played a part in our backline, kept tranquillity base alongside the support of our Goalkeeper Liam O\u2019Neill<\/strong>, who played a high line and timed his sweeping central last man position perfectly throughout the match. A very good win.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFirst XI vs Riverview 1 – 0 win<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
