Comment by Greg Danvers – Bill Turner Cup Media Manager

Looking through the past winners of the Bill Turner Cup and Trophy, up-and-coming players in the A-League and W-League along with the national team programs there are plenty of names that have been students at Westfields.

At this year’s finals series there was plenty of talent to watch – from all six schools and eight teams – stars of the future were on display.

The quality of the football was there to be witnessed by all that ventured to ‘Wembley Stadium’ – Jack McLaughlin Field for the ‘FA Cup’ – Northern NSW Schools Soccer’s Bill Turner Cup.

One young man that took my eye was Westfields’ Amadou Keita who demonstrated many football qualities that bely his tender age.

Amadou Keita (r) in the Bill Turner Cup final

Amadou is in year 8 but his football ability is by far a long way ahead of that.

Is it the coaching he receives? Is it his upbringing? Is it a natural gift? Is it hard work on his behalf?

Yes would have to be the answer to all four questions.

Amadou arrived in Australia as a refugee of Guinea in West Africa about five years ago and is waiting on Australian citizenship – I say grant it now. He would not look out of place in Australian colours in a national youth team. Nor would he look out of place in an A-League club’s colours either.

The interview was conducted on the final day of the Bill Turner Cup finals series.

In a footnote to all our valued visitors to the Bill Turner Soccer website – thank you for supporting a great event.

Over the next 12 months the site will be tweaked for your enjoyment.

Westfield Sports High School retained their 2010 title with a hard fought win over 1994 champions Patrician Brothers, Blacktown, who were competing in the final for only the second time.
Blacktown were by far the more impressive team in the first half and had the usually strong Westfield defence under pressure. As early as the sixth minute they caused confusion when a corner kick was brilliantly headed by tall striker Natnaeil Koko straight at goalkeeper Jayden Diacono.

Final: Westfields Sports 3 (Amadou Keita 50m, Jordan Nadalin 58M, Aaron D’Mello 60+m) bt Patrician Brothers Blacktown 1 (Natnoeil Koko 14m).

Third place play-off: Cavendish Road 2 (Aleksa Krkeljas 43m, Aaron Tucker 57m) bt Marian Catholic College 0.

Westfield Sports High School retained their title with a hard fought win over 1994 champions Patrician Brothers, Blacktown, who were competing in the final for only the second time.
Blacktown were by far the more impressive team in the first half and had the usually strong Westfield defence under pressure. As early as the sixth minute they caused confusion when a corner kick was brilliantly headed by tall striker Natnaeil Koko straight at goalkeeper Jayden Diacono.
Blacktown continued their onslaught and on a number of occasions Diacono was forced to make telling saves from the opposition attack.
It was no surprise when, in the 14th minute, Blacktown scored. Joshua Currie picked up a loose ball on the goal line and cooly chipped in to the Westfield goalmouth for Koko to jump high to head the ball into the net.
Westfield were limited to a few attacks that were always cut out by a busy Blacktown defence and at half time the score was unaltered.
The second half commenced with an immediate change in the Westfield attitude and effort. They invaded the Blacktown goal, but the defence stayed strong and Blacktown were reluctant to give up the single goal advantage.
Blacktown’s efforts started to show and they became noticeably slower in their reactions. Westfield noticed this and “upped the ante” and the ball never seemed to leave the Blacktown half.
With ten minutes remaining, the ball was played into the Blacktown penalty area and pushed out, only to see a quickly advancing Amadour Kieta volley the ball into the top of the Blacktown net for the equaliser.
Blacktown never really recovered from this disappointment and it was only a matter of time before the inevitable happened.
With two minutes remaining, the ball came in to the Blacktown goal mouth from the right hand side. Diacono came out to gather but was beaten by a lightning quick Jordan Nadalin who side footed the ball past him for Westfield’s second goal.
Two minutes later the result was confirmed when Evan Patramanis fired a vicious shot from 15 metres that left Diacono clutching thin air. 3-1!
The final whistle was blown, and Westfield had retained the championship, but not before Blacktown had given them one hell of a shock!
Well done to both teams for a hard fought and entertaining game that concluded a wonderful 2011 Bill Turner Cup season!

Hunter’s Jemma House and Shana Stopp were proving much too quick down their respective wings and it was no surprise when Hunter opened the scoring in the tenth minute. Stopp collected a loose ball in midfield and sped away to slide a perfectly weighted shot past the advancing Westfield goalkeeper Jessica Urquhart.

Match report by Ray Sandell

The first half was dominated by Hunter Sports High who were much faster to the ball than a sluggish looking Westfields.

Hunter’s Jemma House and Shana Stopp were proving much too quick down their respective wings and it was no surprise when Hunter opened the scoring in the tenth minute. Stopp collected a loose ball in midfield and sped away to slide a perfectly weighted shot past the advancing Westfield goalkeeper Jessica Urquhart.

Hunter continued to put pressure on the Wesfield defence but could not add to their score before half time.

As often happens, fortunes completely changed in the second half with Westfield taking the ascendency and the Hunter goal immediately under pressure. Hunter suffered a tragic loss when their star defender, Isabel Lauina, suffered an ankle injury and had to leave the field and took no further part in the match.

Six minutes before full time Westfield were awarded a penalty kick and Amy Harrison made no mistake with the kick to equalise.

Full time arrived with no further addition to the score and the match went into extra time.

The game became very frantic with both teams endeavouring to get that magic “golden goal”. Five minutes into the first half Hunter’s Shana Stopp missed a golden opportunity to score but missed from five metres out. She repeated the effort with one minute to go to halftime.

Immediately from the goal kick, a penalty kick were awarded to Hunter for handball. Up stepped Elodie Dagg to take the kick and made no mistake to give Hunter the Bill Turner Trophy and end Westfield’s run of three consecutive final wins, and also ended their record of never having been beaten in nine Grand Finals!
