In the Grade 16 Boys, goals were shared by Academy players Brad Blackman, Anthony Jones and Josh Glachan with the end result a 3-1 win to the Coast.

Stuart Adams of the Academy added to his goal scoring tally for 2012 in the Boys 18s with the team securing a 1-0 win to their impressive results for the 2012 season.

Following the weekend-s positive results for all boys teams, the Academy-s teams continue to dominate the 2012 Boys Super Youth League Club Championship.

The Girls and Women-s Academy teams were also home on Sunday with the junior teams still buzzing from their Friday training sessions with Mariners A-League Players.

The Grade 14 Girls continued their fine form at home with a 3-0 win with goals to Jordyn Paull, Jordyn Toms-Wedge and Emily “Frankie” Forbes.

The Grade 16 Girls then followed up with a 2-0 win with goals being shared by Tegan Boden and Courtney Muir.

The Reserve Grade Women were unable to secure a win, going down 3-0 to the Koalas whilst the result in the First Grade game is pending due to a technical discrepancy being investigated by Football New South Wales.
