Saturday 15th June
The Mens Senior Soccer team was back in action on Saturday after almost 3 weeks without a game due to wet weather and a postponed game. The match was played against Tinonee Eagles at Tinonee. We all agreed before the game that this was going to be a tough match, the Scorpions were without key players, Drew Grierson and Kayden Schumann in the centre of the park and unfortunately it did cause some connection issues.
The first half played out with decent chances from both sides. Tinonee managed to move the ball accurately and effectively but could not find the target. Owen Tomlinson was outstanding in creating his own chances down the right side, yet he too struggled with the final third.
Nil all at half time, the second half played out much the same until Josh Anniwell managed to break through Tinonee's last line of defence to put the Scorpions in front with a well placed shot. Tinonee immediately lifted and responded well, it was only 10 minutes later that Tinonee scored, leveling the score to 1-1. Gloucester managed to hang on until full time finishing with a draw.
The Scorpions head to Tuncurry this Saturday to take on Tuncurry Tigers at 1:15pm

UP THE SCORPIONS! Our mens senior soccer team have made it six games undefeated with a 4-1 win over Lansdowne Lions on Saturday.
The Scorpions started strong and were rewarded early with a goal by Josh Anniwell. Josh has returned to the Scorpions this year and is loving every second of it. Josh played most of the game in the centre of the park and provided some much needed energy to his team, along with Kayden Schumann, they were both positively driving the Scorpions all game. Lansdowne responded quickly though from a well placed shot from outside the 18 yard box, beating Brad Piwowarski, the Scorpions keeper.
It wasn't long before half time that Scorpions leading goal scorer, forward Corbin Predebon found his shooting foot making it 2-1. Once again the Scorpions looked the better side in the second half, stringing together some delightful combination plays to work their way up the field to score two more goals. Giving both Josh Anniwell and Corbin Predebon a brace.
Noteworthy performances also came from Austin Dickson at right back who's game is seeing some substantial improvements of late and Owen Tomlinson, who is proving to be an unstoppable force upfront for the Scorpions.
It's a top of the table clash this week on Saturday 1st of June in Gloucester, 1.15pm for the Scorpions against Taree Wildcats. We would love to see you down there to cheer on our winning team for this big test.

It's another 3 points secured for the Gloucester Senior Mens team!
On Saturday our boys travelled to Nabiac for the local derby against Wallamba. With last years loss in mind, Gloucester were looking to get back at our closest opponents and continue our flying start to the season. It wasn't long before Owen Tomlinson made a driving run out of midfield, beating the keeper with a slow shot close to his near post. Wallamba responded well pressing deep in our half for extended periods and were rewarded when Aiden Coombes (Gloucester centre back) hand balled on the edge of the box. That being his second yellow of the game he was sent off, reducing the Scorpions to 10 men for the remainder of the game. Wallamba scored from the spot penalty making it 1-1. Gloucester again got the upper hand just before half time through newcomer Seaton McKeons left foot. Gloucester was able to run away with the game in the second half with 2 goals to Corbin Predebon, and 1 to Kayden Schumann. The Scorpions are now undefeated in 4 competition games and 5 games overall. They would love to see your support at home on Saturday the 25th against Lansdowne Lions, kick off at 1.15pm.

The Gloucester Scorpions Mens senior team continue their amazing start to the season. To date, undefeated with a win against Wingham Warriors, Draw to Hallidays Point Barracudas and another win vs Great Lakes Vikings on the weekend.
It was a hard fought game, nil all at half time and unfortunately the Scorpions Jyah Bowden suffered a game ending injury 10 minutes before half time while saving what looked to be a sure goal for the Vikings.
Kayden Schumann almost broke the deadlock late in the first half with a well placed volley which hit the top bar.
The boys were focused entering the second half and after a strong enduring midfield battle the Scorpions were rewarded when Corbin Predebon found the back of the net from a deflected shot.
Our midfield began to dominate in the second half with Drew Grierson, Josh Anniwell, Owen Tomlinson, Kayden Schumann and Kelly Groves all combining well to create better opportunities of which Corbin Predebon was able to capitalise on, getting his second before the final whistle.
They have a well deserved rest this week due to a bye.

As usual the FMNC scheduled a tough first game for our Gloucester Mens Senior Team this year and I'm very proud to say that they secured their first 3 points of the season. Winning 2-1 to Wingham Warriors, last years premiers. Standout performances came from all over the park, Isaac McClure awarded 'Man of the Match" was unbeatable along with Aiden Coombes as centre and fullbacks. James (Jimmy) Breakwell was brilliant in the centre mid field, with help from newcomer Shane Doyle, Wingham struggled to initiate their skillful plays.
Goals came from another welcomed newcomer, young Rory Gambrill and Corbin Predebon who we are very happy to say has returned to the team after a 4 year hiatus.
I couldn't be more proud of the effort the boys put into pre season training and just how well that has paid off.
Bring on Hallidays Point!
