Girls Tournament

Maribyrnong College has put on a goalscoring masterclass to progress to the Bill Turner Trophy Round of 16.

A Leyla Hussein hat-trick sparked a dominant 7-0 win over Mudgee’s St Matthew’s at Albury’s Festival of Football at Jelbart Park.

Alana Hartinger, Ella Lee, Mia Crawford and Alexis Pantazopoulos also found the back of the net in a superb team effort.

Hussein scored the pick of the goals with an ambitious free kick that sailed over the St Matthew’s goalkeeper and into the back of the net.

Maribyrnong was five goals to the good at half-time before taking the foot of the pedal in the second half.

The Melbourne-based sports academy will now face Griffith’s Marian College in the next round for a chance to go to Newcastle for the tournament finals.

Boys Tournament

Maribyrnong College’s hopes of a second Bill Turner Cup title remain on track.

The Melbourne-based school squeezed past Griffith’s Marian College 1-0.

Winston Ashburner scored the decisive goal in the first half.

Taking the ball in midfield, Ashburner released Dejun Trncic down the left flank, before running onto a return ball

Lucky not to give away a foul for fighting through a defender, he then calmly slotted past the Marian goalkeeper to give his team the lead.

Maribyrnong had the ball in the back of the net in just the second minute of the match, but the goal was ruled out for off-side.

They controlled the majority of the game as Marian struggled to break down a compact midfield and defence, featuring players involved in A-League academies.
