Went to Nelson Bay today to watch grandson (Lucas) play his soccer grandfinal. He plays for Wallsend and they played against Cardiff South. What a game, went into extra time and then a penalty shootout. Mrs Aus and I had our fingernails bitten to the quick. Anyrate Wallsend eventually won, so they are Minor Premiers and Grandchampions.

This is their first year as "A" graders, they played "B" grade for the last couple of years. I had my camera so took heaps of piccies, I like this action shot, that's Lucas on the left!!!

They did very good Jim , Cardiff south are a hard team to beat & have won the last few years in a row . We still follow the soccer to a degree (local) & cardiff is always high on the ladder , So great news they won & i bet it was a hard game.. Congratulations to use all..


Oops slept in a bit today Must be cause its a bit cooler this morning.

Thanks for the good wishes Jase. It was a very exciting game. Wallsend were up 1-nil at half time then Cardiff struck back in the second half, near full time. In extra time each team scored a goal each which brought on the penalty shootout. We were a nervous mess at this point.

The penalty shootout was the best of five attempts at goal for each team, Wallsend scored four goals and Cardiff scored three. What a hard way to win a Grandfinal, but since it was their first year in "A" grade and they were up against a seasoned "A" grade team, nobody expected it to be easy. Well done to the boys!!!

Thought I would show a couple of extra piccies!!!

The winning Wallsend team. Lucas is kneeling third from the right. The Coach is laying front left and the Team Manager laying front right.

Believe it or not the Coach also teaches Ballet. Maybe that helped in his strategy to beat Cardiff South!! The Team Manager is holding up three fingers to signify three GrandFinal wins, the previous two were in "B" Grade of cause.

We are having a family BBQ today to celebrate my birthday (next Thursday) and Mrs Aus's birthday (next Sunday) as well as Father's Day. Family should be starting to turn up soon.

Hey Jase, have a look at the Goanna I saw up at Nelson Bay!!
