The Stars are in second place on the ladder and so it was likely to be a hard game. \u00a0It certainly proved to be that when we went down a goal just 3 minutes in. \u00a0The boys battled well despite limited possession. \u00a0The Stars held possession very well and applied pressure on the ball when without it. \u00a0In the 22nd minute the continued pressure told and the Stars scored again. \u00a0At half time it was 2 nil but the Ballina boys were enjoying their game and giving it their best. \u00a0The Stars posted another 2 goals in the 2nd half scoring in the 54th and 64th minute to run out winners 4 nil. \u00a0It was a good clean game with a combined total of only 4 fouls from both teams. \u00a0Ballina never stopped trying and made a couple of good attempts at goal but weren&#8217;t able to score this week. \u00a0There was some good passing at times and some strong defence. \u00a0We need to keep working on our passing and control.\u00a0 A very good effort and a pleasing game to watch. \u00a0Well done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well no big report for <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>G11 Ospreys<\/strong><\/span> this week just a big thank you to everyone who organised Sunday&#8217;s carnival in such difficult conditions.\u00a0 You can tell by the smiles on our faces that we had a great time despite the weather.\u00a0 Every game is a chance to learn something and have alot of fun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/G11-Ospreys-Jul2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2543\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/G11-Ospreys-Jul2015-300x242.jpg\" alt=\"G11 Ospreys Jul2015\" width=\"437\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/G11-Ospreys-Jul2015-300x242.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/G11-Ospreys-Jul2015-1024x825.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ballina 13s South have started the new round like they left off with an 11 nil win over G-Bah. \u00a0While we started slow the team hit their strides and with great lead up work scored many goals.\u00a0 Not much for the backs to do this week and with the keeper playing as a sweeper it [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":2543,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-juniors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/149"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2537"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2537\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2548,"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2537\/revisions\/2548"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ballinasoccer.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
