Another Sun Setters FC stunner!

In 44 degree heat, Sun Setters football club put on a match that any Premiership club would have been proud of!

Lovely Shot Passed the Defender

Despite the heat, the goals came thick fast and furious!

No holding him back when he is on a roll!

The spectators were sweating just watching the speedy end to end play.  In fact, for most of the game Wilson was running around like a flash! In credible football!

This is probably the most entertaining game that I have seen all season.  The precision passing was perfection, (none of this hoof it up the field and hope someone gets on the end of it)!  Each pass was aimed at a particular player, picked up and passed onto the next!  Stunning!!  The goals were awe-inspiring , the positional play was splendid and the coaching by Mr James Ralston was magnificent .
This is a great run!

Just got there!  Can he finish?

Yes he can!
You could not pick a "man of the match", as all the players played out of their skin, so they all deserved the award!
Watch out other teams in Jeddah, if this football club continues next season and I really hope it does, then you are in big trouble!

Sun Setters Week 3 Matches

A thrilling three matches this week for the Sun Setters Football Club.

Start of the 1st Goal

Match 1 ended in a drubbing of the 2nd team.  Wilson scored two fantastic goals, one of which was neatly placed into the bottom right hand corner.  He could have hoofed it, but elected to play round the goal keeper and place it with precision.  Goal of the tournament for me!

Nice run through!
Match 2 was another drubbing for the 2nd team.   Luke played in mid-field and totally dominated the middle of the park.  Some great passing and holding play were displayed.   The team were very fluid throughout and it was most enjoyable to watch.

Lovely tackle to steal the ball
Match 3 ending in a thrashing by the 2nd team.  For some unknown reason Luke played in defence as Central Defender.  We didn't seem to have a strike force anymore.  Most of the game was played in our own half.   I personally think Team A gave up.  The goals came thick, fast and furious.  Wilson did manage to score all be it in his own net!

One of the many goals.  This one off the post!


Great tournament though and enjoyed by all the spectators.
Great Left Footed shot for Goal!
Keep up the good work!

Sunsetters FC Match 2

Another goal fest, that was wonderful to watch.

If you would have seen where he ran from!

Since they are a brand new team, their shape and fluidity of play is outstanding!  It exciting to watch and you can't help but feel for any opposition that they face, since they are formidable, when playing their great style of football.
Loads of time and space
Again Luke opened with a fantastic goal, that saw him oust the defending team easily.

He ran from his back line, the length of the field to produce this stunner, which had the other team spectating really!  It was great to watch!!!

Lovely Turn for Goal

I think all the kids will get a lot from this Football Club and Mr Ralston is an excellent football coach, who seems to build on the kids strengths!


Goal of the match for me!

Well done everyone!

Sunsetters FC Opener for Term 3

Luke played in the Centre Mid Field position, in this thrilling opening match for term 3 of the Sunsetters Football Club.  Luke's team easily beat the opposition in what turned out to be a goal frenzy.

Here we go!

The first was pure skill and a master class of great passing.  Omar delivered the ball, Luke Wilson finds the back of the net with a headed goal from deep inside the penalty area.  1 - 0.  Beautiful!

Great run - Left the defence for dead!

Luke took a shot which was blocked and goes out for a corner.  The inswinging corner was taken by Luke, left-footed from the right corner and Sharbel found the back of the net with a goal from the edge of the area to the top right corner of the goal.  2 - 0, Shocking!

Get passed this guy, then a beautiful cross coming!


A cross is delivered by Luke Wilson.  Ramsie fired in a close range goal to the bottom left hand corner of the goal. 3 - 0.  Powerful!

Great Cross coming and great goalkeeping from Jeries!


The ball was crossed by Sharbel.  Luke Wilson got on the end of it a scored a screecher with a volley from the edge of the penalty area to the bottom left hand corner.  Stunning!

Here's the cross!


Great opening match!
