It was a gritty contest at home for our young Jets as they faced off with Nepean FC who became the first team to take points off our team this season with a nil-all draw.
Despite the draw, our Jets are still in the top echelon of the table with 10 points and still yet to concede a goal.
Football NSW reporter Jack George reviews the clash from Sunday night:
Newcastle Jets 0 – 0 Nepean FC
Newcastle Jets have dropped points for the first time this season in a 0-0 draw against Nepean FC.
Newcastle coach Daniel McBreen labelled it as a good contest and a good team performance all round, while crediting Nepean FC for their defensive organization.
Newcastle had a couple of chances in the first half and controlled possession in the second stanza, while Nepean FC remained dangerous on the counter-attack.
Nepean FC coach Joe D’Ermilio stated Newcastle as a typically well executed Daniel McBreen side featuring trademark good movement, and stated it was a super defensive effort to neutralize their effectiveness, although lamenting the fact they didn’t capitalize on their opportunities in quick transitions.
D’Ermilio praised the performances of Eddie Stewart and Mitchell King, while happily saying that no member of his side left anything in the tank to secure a crucial point away from home.
Elsewhere there were multiple wins and multiple goals for our team across the day.
Our 20s, 18s, 16s, and 15s teams all secured victories by scoring four goals in their respective games to continue the Club’s all-around strong start to the season.
Our 18s and 16s teams continue to lead their competitions, while all other teams are in the top of the table.
