Courageous Rangers hold Wolves to draw

By

A late Thomas James penalty has helped Wollongong Wolves keep their unbeaten start to the season alive  after they fought back to claim a 1-1 draw with Mount Druitt Town Rangers at WIN Stadium on Sunday.

The home side looked like their impressive start to the campaign was set to come to an end at the hands of a inspired Rangers team but James’ 77th minute finish from the spot saved the day in front of the Wolves faithful.

Wollongong had more of the chances in the first half but it was the visiting side who took the lead when a quick Alex Boyadjian counter-attack gave Mt Druitt a 1-0 advantage after 53 minutes.

However, Wollongong’s fighting spirit came through late with Mt Druitt sure to rue what could’ve been.

It was the hosts who dominated the opening half, with Wollongong fans being excused for thinking they had opened the scoring in the 31st minute.

Lachlan Scott managed to round Mount Druitt gloveman Carlos Saliadarre and find the back of the net only for the play to be called offside.

The remainder of the first half could be best described as a dour battle with neither side truly creating any further chances.

Wollongong had a great start to the second half with James coming agonizingly close to opening the scoring in the 46th minute .

The front man’s strike from the edge of the box rocketed into the Mount Druitt crossbar and rebounded off the goal-line before bouncing back into play.

The Wolves had another chance to break through seven minutes later when a Takeru Okada free-kick found the head of Guy Knight in the Rangers box, only for the Wolves player to nod his effort just wide of the right-hand post.

But immediately after Knight’s attempt, Mount Druitt’s Alex Boyadjian broke the deadlock after receiving a quick ball from the Rangers backline.

The Mount Druitt forward raced into a one-on-one chance with Wollongong Justin Pasfield before rolling the ball into the bottom right corner.

Now a goal behind and with their unbeaten start to the season on the line, Wollongong threw everything they had into finding an equaliser.

It was an effective strategy with Nick Littler wining his side a penalty after he was brought down in the Mount Druitt box going after a deep Takeru Okada free-kick.

Current National Premier League NSW Men’s top scorer James lashed his shot just past the fully outstretched hands of Rangers keeper Carlos Saliadarre and into the bottom left corner.

Wollongong pushed for a late winner but it wasn’t to be as they settled for a 1-1 draw.

Wollongong coach Luke Wilkshire  was disappointed by the result but opted to take positives from the match.

“It was a very frustrating day in the office, when you are not ruthless enough and take your chances, that happens in football,” he said.

“I had no doubt with the penalty that he [Thomas James] was going to score it, but like I said it was very frustrating that we were in that position in the first place.

“We will recap and have a look over it and prepare for Hakoah and we will go from there. We will take the positives with that we are still undefeated, but we dropped two points today.”

Meanwhile Mount Druitt coach Aidan Desmond felt the game was an opportunity lost for his side.

“To come down here and get a point against them, though we should be going home with three, but to pick up the 18’s and pick up the 20’s, it’s a good day for the club,” he said.

“They [Wollongong] had lots of the ball, but not in dangerous positions.

“It’s a direct game that they play, and I thought we did really well to win the first ball and the second ball.”

The Wolves are back on the road next round, travelling up to Hensley Athletic Field to take on Hakoah Sydney City East next Sunday while Mount Druitt will be travelling to face Sydney United 58 at Sydney United Sports Centre on Easter Monday.

Sydney FC young guns second half blitz stun Rangers

By

Sydney FC produced a stunning second half comeback spurred on by a Jordan Swibel double, to record a 4-2 success against Mount Druitt Town Rangers tonight at Popondetta Park.

There was no substitute for the class that came off Sydney FC’s bench to turn the contest around. Hamish Lamberton entered the game in the 62nd minute, produced a fierce strike with his first touch then assisted a pair of goals for Jordan Swibel and a deflected own goal to give Sydney FC their second victory of the season.

For Mount Druitt Town Rangers, they leaked four goals after Cooper Coskerie and Jordan Gomez had given them a 2-0 half-time lead.

Once the Sky Blues got a foothold in the contest, the home side panicked and made it ten goals shipped within a week for the promoted side.

From the opening whistle, Sydney FC maintained a smooth rhythm with their play.

The Sky Blues built up well with Ryan Teague stroked the ball around well in the middle. His switch to Joel King created the first chance which went for a corner.

The return of Luke Ivanovic from A-League duty helped, as the tall striker was involved in the first shot as he tumbled a shot towards Town Rangers custodian Carlos Saliadarre, saved confidently low down.

Mount Druitt’s best chances came on the counter.

Substitute Lachlan Roberts combined well with Cooper Coskerie to fire an early warning shot across the Sky Blues area.

Much of the play in the first half hour was with the Sky Blues.

They probed several times through Jordan Swibel and Ivanovic, who saw a series of efforts curl wide of the mark as the game waited for an opener.

The opening came when Mount Druitt kept the Sky Blues defense from clearing the ball then it fell to Coskerie on the edge of the area. The attacker arrowed an effort into the bottom corner for a 1-nil lead.

It was double delight in the 36th minute for the Town Rangers. Roberts was clipped in the box which saw referee Katie Patterson point to the spot.

Jordan Gomez converted calmly for a 2-0 lead.

Sydney FC continued to try to find a route back into the contest.

Swibel tried to swivel an effort past Saliadarre but the veteran keeper remained poised and the home side headed into the break up 2-0.

The contest took some time to build again in the second half as the sides traded yellow cards and the only chance came when Coskerie squeezed between two Sky Blue defenders but a tame shot rolled to keeper Thomas Heward-Belle.

Enter Hamish.

The youngster came onto the pitch in the 62nd minute, and within two minutes, rewarded his coaches decision.

He opened the play on the right before he drifted into the box to thump home a header to claw back a goal for the Sky Blues, 2-1.

Momentum had turned with Sydney FC on top. Lamberton, Ivanovic and Swibel started to dominate time on the ball and penned the Town Rangers in their own end.

Town Rangers cracked under the constant barrage in the 81st minute. A pinball around the box fell onto the foot of Swibel.

The striker got reward for his performance as he knocked the ball home for 2-2.

Sydney FC completed their comeback in the 84th when another substitute, Marco Tilio swept through the Rangers defence then his shot took a deflection off Coskerie into the net for 3-2.

Just to nail home the three points, Sydney FC added a fourth. Ivanovic in his final involvement started a precise break which involved Lamberton and Swibel, for the latter to smash home for 4-2.

Speaking afterwards Sydney FC Coach Jimmy Van Weeren praised the efforts of his substitutes and the whole side as they turned around the deficit in style.

“Both boys [Hamish Lamberton and Marco Tilio] were positive when they came on and it was great to see from the boys. A lot of the boys upfront have that ability to turn a contest and we saw that tonight.

“The first half was a learning moment for us. It’s the reality of football, we dominated the half but went in down. Credit to the character of the boys to fight back and turn the game around though.”

A despondent Aidan Desmond on the Mount Druitt Town Rangers sideline lamented some basic errors that his side made when Sydney FC got back into the contest after a solid first half.

“I was happy with the first half. We came out in the second half, didn’t follow some basic instructions and let ourselves down. We gave them too much time and space on the ball then were punished for it.

“We can’t hide the fact we conceded four tonight, and six during the week. It’s unacceptable and we need a reaction after that next week.”

Rangers no match for ruthless Olympic

By

It was goals galore at Popondetta Park on Wednesday night, as reigning Champions Sydney Olympic kicked into gear to secure a well-earned 6-2 victory against Mt Druitt Town Rangers in their rescheduled round 2 NPL NSW Men’s fixture.

Doubles to both Spanish sensation Alex Sanchez and skipper Jason Madonis, along with goals to Jack Stewart and Mitchell Stamatellis cancelled out goals to Felipe Zapata and Jordan Gomez to secure the victory for the visitors.

It was the first home match for the Rangers who won promotion into NSW’s elite men’s competition.

Teamwork was key to Olympic’s success on the night, with countless combination plays paying off, allowing them to record their second win of the season.

The incredible performance put their potential for the coming season on display, proving they are still well-and-truly in contention for back-to-back Championships.

The first goal of the game came after just four minutes, with the hosts cementing their place on the scoreboard with a strike from Felipe Zapata.

Olympic weren’t deterred by the early goal against them, creating a multitude of chances in the opening stages of the match in their attempts to equalise.

Their mounting pressure culminated to their first goal in the 21st minute.

Teamwork was crucial to the visitors opening goal, with Jack Stewart collecting the ball and passing on to Harris Gaitatzis who laid it off to Sanchez.

Sanchez drew Saliadarre out of position before passing to Madonis who fired home.

A second goal came in the 28th minute for the boys in blue, with Stewart hitting it home.

Stamatellis curled in a ball to Will Angel, who volleyed a pass to Stewart to let off a strike that flew out of reach of the Mt Druitt custodian. It was his second in successive weeks.

Stamatellis scored a goal for himself in the 37th minute, heading home a cross from Jinya An.

Mt Druitt got themselves back in the game just before the half-time break, with Jordan Gomez sending his free kick out of reach of Henderson.

The ball ricocheted off the crossbar before falling behind the line and into the netting.

Olympic further extended their lead in the 70th minute, with Sanchez showing off his style to score a nicely taken goal.

The Spaniard made a speedy run through the Mt Druitt defensive line to send a strike soaring past Saliadarre.

Sanchez came back for more in the 83rd minute, chipping Saliadarre to score Olympic’s fifth of the night.

Madonis earned his second of the night in the 86th minute, capitalising on a slip up from Saliadarre which left the ball at his feet in front of goal.

The skipper tapped it in to cap off the night with Olympic’s sixth and final goal.

Olympic coach Abbas Saad was delighted by his team’s performance.

“We played some smashing football,” he said

“We are the defending Champions and we’ve got to start playing like Champions and I thought today we did.”

Rangers coach Aidan Desmond was looking forward to his team’s next fixture after the disappointing loss.

“We let ourselves down,” he explained.

“We’ve just got to learn from that, be better from it, and move on to this weekend.”

Saliadarre shuts out Suns as Rangers pounce at Rockdale

By

A superb performance from Mount Druitt Town Rangers goalkeeper Carlos Saliadarre has helped his side to their maiden National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s victory as they defeated Rockdale City Suns 2-0 at Ilinden Sports Centre on Sunday. 

Saliadarre pulled off countless saves to keep his side in the tie after Jordan Gomez netted from the spot and a stoppage time winner from Cooper Coskerie secured the points.

It was all Rockdale for much of the match and if it wasn’t for the display of the visiting glove man they would surely have secured the points.

The result was Rockdale’s second straight home defeat in as many games and their second straight match without a goal.

It’s sure to have coach Paul Reid concerned moving forward.

Rockdale raced out of the blocks and showed their intent in the third minute when Michael Neill drilled in a cross from the left flank.

However, it was the visiting Rangers who took the lead when Gomez netted from the spot, sending David Bradasevic the wrong way, much against the run of play.

Five minutes later saw the start of the Saliadarre show.

The veteran keeper, when seeing an Alec Urosevski free-kick late, got down to his right to turn it around the upright.

He tipped another around the opposite upright shortly after but the best was yet to come.

Jordan Figon sent a bullet header toward goal and at point-blank range it was Salidarre who again reacted to palm the effort away.

Urosevski was causing havoc on the left with the Rangers defence finding difficulty in containing the lively winger who fired across the face of goal from an acute angle.

Coskerie retaliated with a shot straight at Bradasevic in an all too infrequent attempt on goal for the visitors  but as it was they his the half-time break hanging on the slenderest of leads.

Figon was released down the right on the resumption and once more Saliadarre was up to the task and able to beat it out only for Matthew Lecce to fire over from the rebound.

Daniel Petkovski came close with a header at the back stick from a beautifully flighted Urosevski corner and still Rockdale could find no way to restore parity.

They thought they had in the 79th minute when a Lecce overhead kick beat Saliadarre, for the first time in the match, only to see the ball bounce down off the crossbar before being bundled away to safety.

The home side threw everything at Mt Druitt bar the kitchen sink and it wasn’t until stoppage time the game was finally put to rest. Gomez played a wonderful back-heel pass to allow Coskerie a free run on goal and he made no mistake this time when planting it firmly between the sticks.

It was a smash and grab raid by the visitors that left Suns’ coach Paul Reid to comment.

“We dominated the game,” he said.

“But like last week we couldn’t put it away and if you don’t score goals you don’t win games.

“I cannot fault the effort of the players but that’s three times in four the opposition keeper has been Man of the Match.

“We have to be more clinical in front of goal and with the amount of chances we’re creating we should be putting more away.

“It is frustrating and obviously this can happen in football but we have to be more diligent in the final third and stop giving away silly possession.”

“In tight situations, big players step up,” replied Town coach Aiden Desmond before continuing.

“Carlos (Saliadarre) certainly did that for us today. He was outstanding.

“We knew we would have to dig in for the second-half as they would push numbers forward and believed we could grab one on the break.

“We did manage that and whether it was in 46′ or 90′ minute we knew if we could hold them at bay we were obviously in with a shout.

“We have a lot of speed in the team so were able to turn defence into attack quickly and we needed to today but we’ve secured the points and we’re delighted with the result.”

Rangers strike back twice at stormy Cromer Park

By

A breathless second stanza saw Manly United and Mt. Druitt Town Rangers play out a dramatic 2-2 draw in a storm-affected fixture at Cromer Park on Saturday night.

In a clash that was originally scheduled to take place at Mt Druitt’s Popendetta Park, mother nature continued to wreak havoc as the devoted Northern Beaches crowd saw kick off delayed by over an hour due to nearby lightning.

And while the contest initially threatened to fizzle out into obscurity, a frenetic final forty-five minutes saw four goals scored in the space of sixteen minutes.

The visitors clawed back Manly on two occasions, as set piece strikes courtesy of Cooper Coskiere and Nick Trimble cancelled out a Brendan Cholakian brace.

It was a gutsy performance from the visitors, who created their fair share of opportunities to win it despite losing three players to injury in the first half and being pinned back by a determined Manly side for extended periods.

The delayed kick off surely played a part in what was a scrappy first half.

Manly were the quicker out of the blocks, creating the first clear cut chance of the match inside the opening half an hour through some Brendan Cholakian trickery.

Manly’s number 10’s low drive sailed narrowly wide of the mark, however proved to be a foreshadowing of what was to come later in the night.

Whilst the Rangers’ early momentum was disturbed by injuries to Hiten Satoh, Fabricio Fernandez and Lachlan Roberts over the period, their frontman Alex Boyadjian found room to test the resolve of Manly custodian Dylan Mitchell on multiple occasions.

With the picturesque backdrop of distant lightning strikes illuminating the night sky, the match was belatedly sparked into life on the 55 minute mark as Nikola Taneski was dragged to ground and the hosts were awarded a spot kick.

Cholakian stepped up and confidently dispatched the ball into the bottom left corner, sending Saliadarre the wrong way.

However Manly were unable to enjoy their lead for long.

A 63rd minute Mt. Druitt corner caused a frantic goal-mouth scramble, resulting in substitute Cooper Coskiere bundling the ball home to the delight of the visitors.

Yet similarly, their jubilation soon evaporated thanks to a piece of individual brilliance from Manly’s number 10 five minutes later.

Picking up the ball out wide, Cholakian danced his way infield and forged a plausible sight on goal before unleashing a venomous curling effort that left a soaring Saliadarre with no chance.

Despite the strike being worthy of deciding any contest, a stubborn Mt. Druitt outfit had other ideas.

Just four minutes later, Nick Trimble rose highest off a long-range range free kick to flick the ball past Dylan Mitchell, restoring parity yet again.

Despite the scoreline remaining consistent from that point on, the final twenty minutes produced no shortage of drama.

On 78 minutes, a parried Joe Fox strike fell perfectly to the feet of that man Cholakian, however to the dismay of the Cromer Park gallery, he spurned his hat-trick chance with a feeble strike straight into the palms of Saliadarre.

The sense of frustration in the air only grew on 88 minutes, as Jamie Glover broke the offside trap, cutting the ball back to fellow substitute Dejan Pandurevic, who thumped the ball into the back of the net.

But a raised flag from the referee’s assistant, who had adjudged the ball to have passed the by-line, cut short celebrations.

A minute later Manly were almost made to pay approaching stoppage time, as Boyadjian broke through on goal, only to have his squared pass cut out by a tireless Kieren Paul, who was one of the standout performers of the night.

Ultimately, despite a heart-stopping conclusion, both clubs were forced into a share of the spoils, continuing their winless starts to the campaign.

Man-of-the-match Brendan Cholakian was understandably disappointed with the ultimate outcome:

“It’s disappointing,” he said.

“I thought we played really well all over the park.

“We knew their threat was set pieces coming into the match but we just gave them too many. When you give them that many they are probably going to score one or two.

“I think we fully deserved the three points so it is a bit of a kick in the guts to come away with a draw at home.

“We just have to keep working collectively and hopefully start to pick up the wins we deserve.”

Mt Druitt skipper Mathew Clowes echoed Cholakian’s sentiments, whilst praising his side’s response to a tough set of circumstances:

“You can take some positives out of getting a point but you always want the three,” he said.

“It was a bit of a rough night losing three players in the first half, all through knocks and a dislocated shoulder.

“You have to learn from every game. We’ll rebuild and recoup and get some new blood in for next week.

“I thought some of the young boys who stepped in tonight did really well, so they will get their opportunity next week and we’ll take it from there.”

Manly continue their quest for a maiden victory on the road at Marconi Stadium next Saturday, whilst Mt Druitt travel to Illinden as they face Rockdale City Suns the following afternoon.
