FARM DEFEAT TOP TEAM DOWNS AND MOVE SECOND TOP!
28/6/2009
Ingle Farm's 1st Team defeated Elizabeth Downs for the first time in 4 years - since returning to the top flight - that moved the 1st team up to 2nd place in the Sunday Premier League. A fine turnout of supporters were there for the big match, and Ingle Farm Soccer Club would like to thank the Downs Army for supporting our BBQ and bar today.
In the 1st team match, Paul Jones (2 goals) along with Chris Ennis scored the goals that gave Farm a 3-1 lead before Downs pulled back a consolation goal at the death. Jubilant Farm players celebrated after the game with a bellowing rendition of the club song. It was a great effort by all Farm players with special mention to Barry Fitzharris, Paul Jones, Chris Ennis, Michael Clarke, Ricky Simpson, Dave Ennis, Dave Eggers and Lee Cockerill - who was playing against his former club. Downs keeper Ben Aldridge was awarded the "Thorn in the side" by Farm coach Paul Simpson.
Downs Chairman Billy Duncan presented Farm coach Paul Simpson with the Rite Price Cup - a cup based on the two clubs having the same sponsor along with a friendly rivalry. It of course is the first time we have had it on display in our clubrooms.
Ingle Farm B Team were held to a 1-1 draw with Downs Reserves in the 1:10pm match. The draw saw Salisbury Inter Reserves leapfrog Farm into 1st position with Farm sitting second. Paul Francken and Fernando Lara were named best players by B Team coach, Billy Graves. Jarrad Rich converted a penalty to be Farm's only goalscorer.
Ingle Farm C Team fought back from being 2-0 down to eventually draw with Down's C Team 2-2. It was a better performance by Jason Walker's young team, still with plenty more room for improvement. Another fine performance by young Farm midfielder Jacob Ralph was a highlight while Walker named Chris Duncan as his best for the day. Goalscorers for the C's was Jacob Ralph and Pierre "Smith."
Dads Army were a little disappointed to let their early lead slip as they eventually drew with Para Hills West A 2-2. Haven't heard much on goalscorers - possibly this means Towner didn't score- but all the same not a bad result for our Over 35 Team.
GENTLEMANS NIGHT JUST AROUND THE CORNER
28/6/2009
Ricky Simpson has done a fantastic job of organizing Ingle Farm's Gentlemans Night that is to be held at Ingle Farm Soccer Club on Friday the 17th of July.
We are trying something different this time around - $75 includes the girls, all your drinks and some food - and just while we are on it, I have personally seen the menu and it is very very tasty. The club only holds three functions per season and all players are expected to attend.
So make sure you speak to Rick and book yourself in, we expect this event to sell out - so it is first in best dressed. You can pay a deposit to Rick to secure your ticket, but tickets WILL NOT be sold at the door on the night.
THIS season's Presentation Night will be held at Sferas on the Friday Night of the October weekend (Oct 2nd.) It will cost approx $85pp - however that includes a three course meal, drinks all night and a DJ.
VALE AWAY THIS WEEKEND
21/6/2009
Ingle Farm Soccer Club travel north this weekend where they play Elizabeth Vale up at Mofflin Road.
Our A's, B's and C's all play Elizabeth Vale while Dads Army also are away (bit of a rest for our hardworking mate Lenny) at MC Woodpeckers.
CAPTAIN ENNIS LEADS FARM TO LATE WIN AT WALKLEY PARK
21/6/2009
Ingle Farm defeated Parafield Gardens 1-0 in today's Round 9 fixture of the Sunday Premier League with an 87th minute scrambled goal by Chris Ennis today. The big centre half lead by example all day as he marshalled his troops to hold out quite a good Parafield Gardens outfit before icing the cake at the death.
Other Farm players to do well included Paul Jones, Ricky Simpson, David Ennis and Robbie Greenwood - who in particular made some sensational saves today that frustrated Gardens throughout the match.
Ingle Farm Reserves shot to the top of Sunday Premier B League with a fighting 3-2 win over Gardens Reserves in the 1:10pm match. Cameron Hawkins lead the way with two well taken goals but best player was awarded to sweeper Graham Elrick for another fine display.
Ingle Farm C Team played poorly today and were easily beaten 2-1 by Gardens C Team. Brendan Fagan and young Jacob both played well for Farm.
And Dads Army had another win - 3-2 away at Modbury Jets ASC.
ALL THREE TEAMS THRU IN CUP, C'S HAVE FINE WIN
15/6/2009
All Ingle Farm Soccer Club's teams in the cup were all able to move thru to the next round yesterday.
The 1st Team had an easy 4-1 win away over 2nd Division Munno Para. All goals were scored in the first half before Farm were content with defending their lead in the second half. Most of the Farm players played well with special mention to Dave Eggers who was especially efficient cleverly setting up a couple of goals. Others to do well included Torsten Rutter, Anthony Ragazzo, Paul Jones, Dave Ennis, Chris Ennis, Michael Clarke and Wade Dingle.
The Reserves won their home tie 7-3 over Brahma Lodge Reserves. Heard young Chris Brooker managed to get on the scoresheet which is some more good news for the club as another young Ingle Farm player takes strides in his game.
The C Team played a "home" catchup game away at Mofflin Road where the lads easily overcame Elizabeth Vale C's 5-0. Vahid Rahmani scored an impressive hat-trick for Farm to lead the team to victory.
Another promising Ingle Farm youngster, Nick Philipou, enjoyed one of his best games for the club, and is beginning to fulfil his potential as a future player for the club. Consistant midfielder Jamie Porter also played very well as did young goalkeeper Shannon Baxter who again had a fine game with another clean sheet brought about by some fine saves.
The result moves Jason Walker's young team up to 3rd position on the Division 8 ladder.
And Dads Army scraped through to the next round of the Over 35 Cup, over coming Modbury Jets ASC 3-2. Steve Paterson scored a brace for the home team.
IAN RUSH DINNER
15/6/2009
A few of the refined Ingle Farm gentleman from the club along with Dave Eggers and Paul Jones attended Sferas last Thursday Night for a meet and greet with Liverpool's famous number 9, Ian Rush. It was a good night had by all, but as you may guess from these photos, it was all you could drink piss.
It would be fair to say that the free drinks were flowing quite well, judging by the photos thru this link... http://www.footballnews.com.au/gallery/v/ianrush2/slideshow.html Doesn't Jonesy come out of his shell after having 4 beers !!! Also watch out for "half a glass" Scotty Gannon and "half a keg" Billy Graves on stage making a fool of themselves. (for best viewing select picture size "no limit" and the duration "5 seconds")
One of the funniest moments of the night had to be silent assassin 1st Team player Lee Cockerill getting hold of Jonesy's Liverpool scarfe during the night and taking it upon himself (to save Jonesy having to wait in line) to sign his Liverpool scarfe "IAN RUSH" in black texta - probably be fair to say that Jonesy wasn't too happy about it.
DADS ARMY ENJOY BIG WIN
10/6/2009
While all Farm's other teams took a well deserved week off, Ingle Farm Soccer Club's Over 35 Team defeated Modbury Jets Old Boys 8-1 in their Round 6 fixture at the weekend.
GAVIN POWNEY HAS WRITTEN A REPORT THAT WILL BE UP SOON
ALL FOUR FARM TEAMS HAVE WIN
1/6/2009
Ingle Farm Soccer Club enjoyed a perfect weekend with all four of its teams having wins in their Sunday SAASL divisions yesterday.
Ingle Farm's 1st Team moved back up to 4th position on the Sunday Premier League Ladder after they battled to a 3-1 win in the main game at Walkley Park. Farm Captain Chris Ennis emerged the hero with two fine headers in the second half to lead his team to victory after Dave Eggers had given the early advantage during the 1st half. Farm keeper Robbie Greenwood made some important great saves during the first half after Anthony Staltari had a penalty saved.
The Reserves had a fine 3-1 victory over 4th-placed Fulham Reserves and now just sit one point behind the leader in their league. Jarrad Rich was amongst the goalscorers for Farm.
The C Team had a comfortable 3-0 win over Fulham C's. Young Chris Brooker was the best player on the park for our C's.
And Brian Toomer reported that his O/35 team missed countless chances against Athelstone O/35's but came away easy victors 3-0 away at Athelstone.Brian also wished to make mention of Edwin Bautista who was good enough on short notice to come down and referee the game.
QUIZ NIGHT A SUCCESS
30/5/2009
Ingle Farm's Quiz Night has been hailed a success. Well done to all of you that attended, it was a good night with plenty of laughs.
Well done to Jason Walker for putting on a good show. Big thanks to Trevor who looked after the bar for most of the night .. even better he didn't injure himself in the process.
Jarrad Rich and Leon Hannessen's group won on the night. Only odd think was Mark Bromoly's phone set to WLAN - surely the young fella wasn't surfing GOOGLE all night collecting the answers ??
LATE FIGHTBACK NOT ENOUGH TO OVERCOME AWFUL START
24/5/2009
Farm fought back from being 3 goals down to almost scrape up a draw against Florina away at Underdown Park today. If not for Farm Goalkeeper Robbie Greenwood, Farm could have gone in 4 or 5-0 at halftime in what could only be described as a debacle opening 45 minutes. Farm's second half was much improved as its fitness overpowered a tired looking Florina to pull back two late goals along with missing several excellent chances late in the game.
Ingle Farm Reserves, led by evergreen Duy Tran, overcame an early Florina goal to eventually overpower the home team 4-1 at Underdown Park in the 1pm match. Other good performances came from Paul Francken, Michael Francken, Mark Faulkner and super striker ImAnOutlaw.
Jason Walker's C Team were missing a few regulars today and struggled against Florina's C Team - losing 3-0 in the process.
But the Elephant Stamp Award (sorry big Davey) today went to Dads Army who enjoyed a crushing 8-2 victory over Elizabeth Grove O/35's. Heard Steve Paterson scored 4goals in a half before he went off to give somebody else a kick. Towner was talking himself up after the match, so we generally ignored him. Better news was that Mr Darren Bancroft managed to run out a full game for the first time in.. well a very bloody long time - albeit later limping his way to Florina's ground like mauled lamb that had run into a pack of lions.
We have a First Team and Reserves Match Report. Anyone that played C Team or D Team please contribute to the club website. Gavin Powney has been unable to play this week for Dads Army therefore we are lacking a report.

FARM GO DOWN FIGHTING TO WEST
18/5/2009
The Ingle Farm troops valiantly tried in vein to salvage a point against the West but a game of missed chances and very average refereeing cost the Farm the points. A devastating result for the boys, the Farm had a lot of the possession and enough opportunities to win the game but lacked the composure in front of goals to do the business.
The Farm never gave up to the end but could not find the equalizer even when both teams went down to 10 men. A gut wrenching loss for the club and the deafening silence in the change room after the game can only marginally describe the disappointment of the players and coaching staff. The win certainly secures the West as title favorites as they sit undefeated at the top of the table but the Farmers are only 4 points off the pace with plenty of games to go to close the margin.
The Reserve shave bounced back from there atrocious start to the season as they beat the West 2-0. Fernando Lara and Jarrad Rich scored goals early in the first half to setup the game and take the three points. A fantastic result which now puts the Farm 3 points from top. Not bad considering we were lingering towards to the bottom of the table with 1 point after 3 rounds. For a minute there we all thought we had the Hawks blues, hey Andy!!!!
The C’s fought a good, tough 0-0 draw in slippery conditions. Unfortunately we had a guy go down with a knee injury and our young keeper took a bad knock which meant the club pres and coach, Jas “Eddie” Walking, had to take the park and play myself upfront.The game clearly changed with his presence (I don’t know if this was good or bad thing) and from that point on a fairly even game in which a draw was a pretty fair result. Both sides missed some easy chances though. The result puts the younger Farmers mid-table two points drift from the top.
Dad’s Army turned around two losses in the row to smash Tea Tree Gully 4-2 and rack up there first win of the season. A good result for the boys who have in recent weeks struggled with injury to fill a team.
An interesting bag of results for the club, great to see the Reserves back in form, the C’s continue their good run, and Dad’s Army get there first win but it was disappointing to have the first team go down the way they did. Nevertheless,these games do happen and we must think positive and look forward to next weeks battle with Florina. No doubt the boys can bounce back from the disappointment.
Big thanks to Anto for the report above (he wasn't even at the ground!) (amazing stuff.. and his criticism of referees is second only to Simo and Leggy) but I've finally got around to putting up Paul Jones' and Gavin Powney's reports. I sincerely apologize for the delay lads and appreciate both of your efforts in bringing us a report of your matches every week. BTW.. if anyone wants to write a report of the Reserve and C Team matches please feel free - the email address isifasc@hotmail.com - it would be good to have all games reported on. And yes Jonesy I even got some of the player profiles uploaded - appreciate it mate.
The Farm fronted up against Plympton Bulldogs at home with a few players rested due to injury or fatigue. With no players promoted from the Ressies, as that squad was depleted as well, Simmo went with a small squad which included a debut promotion for one of the clubs up and coming young Farmers, Mark Bromoly. Mark has been playing out of his socks the last few weeks in the C’s and has looked dynamite on the training track with the big boys, so his promotion was no surprise.
Plympton took the lead against the run of play but Farm drew level just before half time. Farm then took the lead early in the 2nd half only for Plympton to draw level on 89mins. Plympton went down to 10 men midway through the 1st period of extra time (2nd yellow) and just as the tie looked to be going to penalties Farm grabbed the winner through Eggers with about 5mins left.
A nail biting game for the supporters, but overall the Farm had the most chances over the 120 minutes and probably deserved the win. A very good performance from the Plympton Bulldogs and they should hold there heads high for matching it with the big boys.
B’s: Ingle Farm Reserves 3 – 1 Elizabeth GroveReserves
The Farm Reserves traveled to Elizabeth Grove with a few players out due to injuries, mother’s day or wood work classes. This gave Billy the opportunity to promote some of the young Farmers from the C team.
From the kick off the Farm seemed to have most of the possession but lacked the fire power and composure to put the ball in the net at critical times. It was a very hard fought game and the Grove put in right to the end. To there credit, when the Grove was able to take possession they seemed to move the ball round well but at times lacked the quality to be dangerous. A very clean game overall, which was pleasing to see, but the Farm probably should have walked away with a few more goals. 3-1 was enough and a good start for the defending champions.
Over 35’s:Ingle Farm O/35's 2 – 2 Modbury Jets O/35's
From all accounts the game could have goneeither way, 2-2 in the first leg away is a good result for the veterans. The return leg at home will surely be a cracker.
FARM KNOCK 5 PAST LION TO END GRANGE HOODOO
3/5/2009
Ingle Farm’s first team outplayed USC Lion all day to eventually win 5-0 at Grange today. It was the Farm's first win over Lion away at Grange since returning to Division 1, previously Farm surrendered a lead to draw in 2007,before being thrashed there last season.
The Farm had Lion under the pump from the kick off and controlled the game from the offset. Paul Jones again had a cracker and scored his second hatrick in two weeks. A good performance by all and the Farm will take some good form into the cup round next week.
The Reserves came back from being 2-1 down in the last 30 minutes to turn the game around and win 5-2. Farm dominated most of the game but could not put the ball in the net. Even when the boys went 2-1 down they were still well on top and it was only matter of time before they took the lead and the three points. It is good to see the boys back in winning ways,lets hope this run of form continues against Westies in a fortnight.
The C’s unfortunately had a few players pull out in the last minute but they still came away with a 2-2 draw.
Dad’s Army went down 5-3 to Para Hills East. An entertaining game which saw some good passages of football from both sides. The East took their chances and the game. It was good to see Peter Bria back. Anto and Bria constantly troubled the East defense and were unlucky to not have scored more goals each. The East is defiantly a very good football side and will be very hard to beat. My spies tell me Jumpin Joe Mullen scored a hat-trick for the opposition.
A'S, B'S AND C'S WIN - DADS ARMY GET SMASHED
26/4/2009
Ingle Farm's first team cruised to a 7-1 drubbing of bottom-placed Pontian Eagles at Walkley Park today. It was a sensational all round performance by all players in particular Paul Jones who wrote his name all over the match as he did not stop running all game and earned himself an impressive hat trick and the man of the match accolade.
It is pleasing to report that Ingle Farm's Reserve Team had their first win of the season as they thumped Pontian Eagles Reserves 9-0. The game saw the return of Toasty to Farm and he stamped himself on the game by setting up the first two goals and scoring two for himself before being substituted at half time to sit on the bench for the first team.
The second half was even better then the first, with another five goals being smashed in the back of the net. Cameron scored the goal of the day with a sensational scissor kick goal from 8 yards out.
After failing to score in the first three games of the season, it was great to seethe boys finally put some goals on the board, and as Billy “Brownless”Graves pointed out to our webmaster Belly after the game, they lads scoredalmost double what Port Adelaide got in goals this week, we will not post Belly's response for censorship reasons. Well done to the reserves and let’shope this kicks off their title defense.
Jason Walker's young C Team also enjoyed a fine win today, Jason tells me "we were a bit lucky" but the boys put in a good performance to make it two wins in a row.
Dads Army are the heel of the club this weekend as they got smashed 5-1 away at Elizabeth Vale. Mr. Bean played 60 minutes, justifying his registration. Coach Brian Toomer was not pleased with the result.
INGLE FARM HAVE A GREAT WIN AGAINST SALISBURY INTER
19/4/2009
Ingle Farm's first team had a solid 4-2 win over Salisbury Inter today at Underdown Park. The Farm dominated the opening 45 minutes and were unlucky to go in at half time scoreless. That quickly changed after the break as the Farm smashed 4 goals in 20 minutes.
Inter did claw two goals back and had a few chances towards the end of the game but the Farm were clearly the better team and dominated most of the 90 minutes coming away deserving winners.
In the Early games, our Reserves went down 1-0. A 3rd minute Inter goal, bad refereeing and a rush of blood from Anto that saw him sent off for dissent in the 20th minute of the first half killed of the first 45minutes.
The Farm dominated the second half and you could have been mistaken that Inter had 10 men as the Farm pushed everything forward to score. Unfortunately we were unable to put the ball in the net, which basically spells out our season so far.
The C’s recorded their first win for the season with a very good 2-1 victory. Well done to the boys for a good win.
The Over 35’s played there final trail match against Para Hill West before the season start next week. A 2-2 draw.
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL
10/4/2009
Ingle Farm has no games across the Easter break but training resumes as per usual on Tuesday 7pm sharp.
On behalf of the Ingle Farm committee we wish all players, members and supporters a Happy Easter.
FARM ENJOY FIRST WIN OF SEASON
5/4/2009
Ingle Farm defeated Elizabeth Vale 1-0 in one of those "ugly" wins today at Walkley Park to earn its first points of the season.
None other than our mate Anthony Staltari scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot.
The Reserves again struggled, and have still not scored a goal in its two games this season. 0-0 was the score against Vale's Reserves.
The C Team played an internal trial, not too much to write home about inthis one but Dad's Army won their trial against Modbury Jets O/35's 6-1. Someone even said Lee Perkins gave away a penalty! Huh, rumours.
FARM LOSE OPENER AGAINST DOWNS
29/3/2009
Ingle Farm Soccer Club lost all three games today out at Argana Park.
Warm conditions didn't help the teams as all players were tested in the difficult conditions.
The First Team went down 3-2. The Reserves conceded a goal in the last 5 minutes to lose their match 1-0.. The C Team also conceded a last minute goal to lose their match. However, at least the over 35's didn't lose this weekend.. they didn't play.
STRONG COMMITTEE FORMED FOR 2009
8/11/2008
Ingle Farm Soccer Club is pleased to announce it will have a nine-man Committee for Season 2009 after the club held its AGM last Thursday Night.
It's great to have some new blood on Committee to help with the running of the club. Good on those people who are prepared to devote some of their spare time for the club each month. The positions voted at the AGM were:
Chairman - Jason Walker
V/Chairman - Anthony Martini
Treasurer - Paul Hurst
Secretary - Robbie Bell
Head Coach - Paul Simpson
General Committee - Ted Beck
General Committee - Tim Walker
General Committee - Ricky Simpson
General Committee - Billy Graves
In addition, current players Robbie Greenwood,Chris Groom, Trevor Bradbrook and Paul Jones will be helping out in various small ways which is richly appreciated. Julie-Anne Simpson, The O'Hara clan, Robbie Paterson, Paul Lenny, Ron Sparks and Pop Newton also do terrific things for the club on match days and at trainings. Committee could not possibly get all these tasks done by themselves, so these people really help to form a strong backbone for the club.
With several major developments happening at the club next year (watchthis space for announcements soon) the club is positively looking forward to the 2009 Season.
CHRIS ENNIS WINS 2008 BAILETTI MEDAL
26/10/2008
Congratulations to Ingle Farm captain Chris Ennis who has been named the SAASL Division 1 Player of the Year for Season 2008.
The towering centre-half enjoyed another superb season for Ingle Farm and perhaps a more consistant year than last season's club best & fairest / coaches award / players' player trifecta.
Ennis pipped league top goalscorer Chris Nicholls of Elizabeth Vale SC by one vote - as voted by the League Referee's.It is the first time an Ingle Farm player has won the Bailetti Medal.
A humble Chris Ennis said in a statement "Congratulations to Elizabeth Vale on a fantastic year, looking forward to our tough games next year. Also congratulations to Chris Nicholls on a great year being top goal scorer and polling well. I always look forward to playing against him, he's a top quality player and maybe should of won given the year the Vale had."
"I was just as surprised with winning and thought I had a much better year last season but its still nice to get the recognition despite what others think."
