There was no match report last week so this one will include previous week’s games as well. Acacia Ridge faced New Farm and Toowong in the last two rounds and both times at home. It has been a bad couple of weekends for the boys, losing all 4 matches. First team and Ressies played similar matches against both of their opponents so in a way this report will take a different approach and analyse both round simultaneously.
The reserve team lost 3-2 and 6-2 to New Farm and Toowong respectively but it wasn’t the losses that stood out but rather the manner in which the games were played. After a decent start to the season and some very good performances, last two games were very poor by the standards the boys set earlier in the season. There was a lot of arguing, back chatting, explaining and talking in general and very little signs of running, flowing football and will to work hard. In both rounds the opposition looked more like a team and that made the difference.
The first team overall played two very good games but came away with nothing both times, losing 3-2 and 4-3. The boys created a lot of attacking opportunities and scored a few goals too but some lazy defending cost us the points in crucial moments of the game. In both games we have attacked, played some beautiful football, held large amounts of possession and dominated large periods of the games and yet lost. In both games we worked very hard to score goals but gave away goals with almost no resistance by conceding unnecessary penalties, free kicks, red cards and being too slow to organise when defending. We didn’t take responsibility against New Farm and were punished as a result. We didn’t learn from our mistakes and it is no surprise we got punished again against Toowong.
Next game sees us away at Virginia on Sunday the 17th. I am sure that everyone in the squad will have the right attitude, be motivated to train hard this week and get back to winning ways.

Acacia Ridge FC Gala Dinner
Acacia Ridge FC players and supporters gathered last Saturday night to celebrate what has been a very successful season for the club. The guests enjoyed food, drinks, music and each other’s company at the Boundary Hotel.
Team manager Jimmy Salcedo presented the awards to the winners, with Edwin Duarte and Juan Jaimes winning “Golden Boot” for the reserves and top side respectively. Martin Alvarez won the “Most Improved Player” award, with Juan Jaimes taking out the “Players’ Player of the Year” and Santiago Rodriguez claiming the “Most Influential Player” award.
Special Thanks to Diego Aristizabal for organising the event. A great night was had by all.
Acacia Ridge have won the Capital 4 league grand final with a 3-0 win over Tarragindi Tigers at Underwood Park. Both sets of fans turned out in big numbers and completely filled out the stand and seating areas around the field. This was the 5th time these two teams met this season with Ridge winning four times and Tarragindi winning once in the very first round of the season.
The Premiers started attacking from the get go and have scored within the first 5 minutes. Acacia Ridge have won a corner and the league’s top goalscorer Juan Jaimes was left unmarked at the back post where he rose above everyone else to smash home a header for a 1 nill lead. Next 30 minutes Acacia ridge pushed for a second and were rewarded when Juan Jaimes picked a loose ball in the midfield and put it through between Tarragindi defenders for David Medina to run onto who scored calmly past the keeper for 2-0. Remaining 10 minutes saw the Tigers try and pull one back with a few shots from outside the box but Ridge goalkeeper Roki Samardzija never looked troubled.
Second half started with Tarragindi pushing more and more players forward which allowed Acacia ridge to create more goal scoring opportunities which they kept missing due to a combination of poor finishing and good goalkeeping. At the hour mark Ridge’s midfielder Pablo Santamaria turned a couple of Tarragindi players and charged towards Tiger’s goal with seemingly the whole field to himself and support arriving on both sides he played the ball to Juan Jaimes who took a touch and smashed the ball past the keeper for the final 3-0. At this point the game was won for the boys and the rest of the game was played out in a much slower pace.
Final result: Acacia Ridge 3-0 Tarragindi Tigers
2 x Juan Jaimes
1 x David Medina
