It was a full slate of action across JBNPL and CPL competitions this weekend, with Murray United teams facing fierce opponents in tough conditions. Here’s how it all played out:
⚽ JBNPL 1 – U17s v Dandenong City
Final Score: 3–4 Loss
Goal Scorers: PJ, Ash, Archie
In a rollercoaster of a match played in difficult weather, the U17s took an early lead but struggled during a patchy first half. Despite a strong start to the second half and quick goals, late lapses cost us dearly.
Standouts: Nate, Pieter, Richard
⚽ JBNPL 2 – Round 12
U14s v Heidelberg Warriors
Final Score: 3–0 Win
Goal Scorers: Cam Harb (2), Jimmy Griffith
A strong defensive display and clinical attacking moments earned our U14s a well-deserved victory. The squad showed composure, resilience, and flair—especially in the second half.
Standouts: Leo Mason, Noah Brunec, Andy Reckless
U15s v Heidelberg Warriors
Final Score: 2–1 Win
Goal Scorers: Tyla Singh, Christian Pasqualotto
A dominant first half laid the foundation, with two fine finishes putting us ahead. Heidelberg pushed hard late, but our boys held firm in a thrilling finish.
Standouts: Tyla Singh, Bailey Meredith, Liam O’Connor, Harry Norman, Easton Fullwood
U16s v Moreland City
Final Score: 3–2 Win
Goal Scorers: Koby (2), Leroy
Despite playing against a 9-man Moreland side for most of the match, it wasn’t smooth sailing. The boys rallied from a 2–1 deficit at the break to secure the win but know there’s room for improvement in possession.
Standouts: Koby Shields, Leroy Ogesare, Mason Godfrey, Jack Ryder
Special mention: Lachlan Burt debuted with a composed 70-minute shift!
⚽ CPL Girls
U13s v North Geelong Warriors
Final Score: 1–2 Loss

A dream start with an early goal from Tully couldn’t be converted into a win. Despite strong defensive work and effort across the park, we narrowly missed out in a physical contest.
Standouts: Tully G, Paige P, Aria H
U15s v North Geelong Warriors
Final Score: 0–1 Loss
In a fiercely competitive match, our girls battled hard and dominated long stretches of play. A single first-half goal proved the difference in an otherwise excellent showing.

Impact Players: Kiera A, Inanay G, Carly O, Rowena R, Olive, Emma, and supporter Tully – thank you all!
U17s v North Geelong Warriors
Final Score: 0–1 Loss
A tightly fought match with chances both ways saw our girls fall just short. Defensive efforts were superb, and a late chance to equalise went agonisingly close. A great team effort in testing conditions.

Shoutout to U15s GK Pippa for stepping in with composure, and thanks to all the U15s who supported the squad.
