Round 17
After a week off for our senior teams and under 15's, we see all of our teams hit the pitch this week. With only 3 rounds to go before the end of the season and finals it's an exciting time for the club. We start the round with 3 FRIDAY night game.. senior men's, senior women's and the under 15's, get around and support these teams. This is followed by the junior and miniroo teams playing Sunday, with a mixture of home and away games. There are lots of exciting events coming up for the club, see below for more details.
Under 13's
Creswick VS Forest
This week Forest took on the top team Creswick, the last few times these teams have faced each other Creswick dominated the whole game. This time Forest got off to a slow start and let in a few early goals, but then found their feet. While the first half clearly went to Creswick, Forest dominated possession in the second half and whilst they could not make up for the goals scored in the first halve, they did manage to get the ball into the back of the net twice. This meant a final score of 6-2 to Creswick which is a huge improvement from the rest of the season!
Senior men, women and under 15's had no game

Calling all volunteers
September is just around the corner and that means soccer finals! Whilst this is an exciting time for those teams who manage to make it, it is also a huge and exciting time for the club to make some much needed money! With out clubrooms being built as we speak, we will need all the money we can get to kit it out with style! Forest this year are responsible for finals on the 11th (Sunday) and 17th (Saturday) of September! The 11th we will be in charge of running everything, this includes; the canteen, providing ball collectors, ground marshals, ticket collectors and more, so it will be all hands on deck. The 17th of September (grandfinal day) we will be running the canteen and with a huge turnout expected we will need a lot of volunteers. If you have any time available for either day or both of those days can you please get in contact with someone from the club so that a roster can be organised. This is a huge opportunity for the club but we need help to ensure that we can get the most out of it! Thank you in advance from the Forest Committee.
