Margaret River 0, Dunsborough 1
The Dunsborough Towners gained three valuable premiership points when they battled out a 1-0 win to complete a clean sweep of all three matches over Margaret River at Gloucester Park on Sunday. The Towners couldn’t have asked for a better start in the third minute when a long throw by Jake Thompson created havoc in the River defence to find Sebastian Kovacs rushing in on the far post to ram home from close range. A second goal went begging in the 17th minute when a perfect cross from Kovacs found an unmarked Richard Olsen with the goal at his mercy only for his header to sail over the bar. Striker Adam Shaw went close on two occasions with stand-in goalkeeper Stuart McKay making crucial saves. River had two excellent chances in the first-half with Simon Corke rattling the bar from 30 metres in the 33rd minute and a mad moment from a corner in the 44th min when the Towners somehow cleared three shots off the line in a crowded goalmouth.

Taking your chances is what winning matches is all about and the Dunsborough Towners failed in this area when they succumbed to 3-1 defeat at the hands of Bunbury Dynamo in the South West Times Knockout cup on Monday.
In truth, Dynamo was the better composed combination for much of the match. But oddly it was the Towners that had the better clear cut chances to win the game and advance to the next round of the competition. At the point where Dynamo held a 3-1 lead Dunsborough created three chances that really should have been converted with only the goalkeeper to beat. Richard Olsen, Adam Shaw and Graeme Copeman found themselves unexpectedly in the clear following a favourable bounce of the ball. On each occasion, however, they rushed the opportunity either directing the shots at the goalkeeper or slicing it well wide of the goal.

Exhaustion was clearly visible on the Dunsborough Towners as they succumbed to Bunbury Dynamo 3-1 in the first round of the South West Times knockout cup at the Dunsborough Playing Fields on Monday.
The Towners were forced to appear on Monday having already played a tough 1-1 draw with Eaton at the same venue on Sunday. To add to the imbalance of the fixturing because of the odd number of clubs in the South West Premier League Dynamo had the luxury of a bye on Sunday leaving them fresh for the cup encounter with Dunsborough. This was the case for all three Towners teams that played Dynamo on Monday. However, The Towners can only blame themselves and the Eaton cross bar for not having secured all three points in the league match on Sunday From the start it was all Dunsborough with Neil Muckles hitting the cross bar first in the tenth minute. It was Muckles again a little later who provided the Townes with what appeared the perfect start when he slipped through the perfect defence splitting pass that allowed the little whippet, Graeme Copeman, to fins space and give the home town side the lead. Joy, however, was short lived when Eaton hit back five minutes later to level the scores and send a shiver of concern through the Dunsborough ranks. Eaton, just back in the Premier League this season, looked a more than useful side with a number of former premier league players having signed on from other clubs in the off-season. But it was a frustrating second half that dogged the Towners as they went in search of victory and full points. On another day they might have strolled to a comfortable win only on this occasion for the cross bar on five occasion and the post on another to deny the expected victory. As one wit said after the game Dunsborough’s players looked like drunks having hit the bar so often.

Dunsborough 5 (Shaw, Muckles, Tew. Pechey, Gidley), Collie 0. Match Photos: Click Here A burning desire to make a statement on the South West Premier League inspired the Dunsborough Towners to a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Collie in Collie on Sunday. That success added to the earlier Reserves 2-1 win over Collie that in turn followed the women’s strong showing in their 1-1 encounter. In all three matches Dunsborough dominated the opposition that should have seen bigger margins in victory. It was strong team work with explosive moments that guided the Towners in their demolition of Collie and the winning margin should have reached double figures such was the stranglehold they had on the game. From the first whistle it was clear that Dunsborough, back close to full strength were determined to put behind them the memory of their horror start against Bunbury in the opening round when they lost 6-1. By half time they were well on the way to doing just that established a commanding 4-0 lead.

Bunbury United 6, Dunsborough 1 View Photos From This Game The Dunsborough Towners suffered the worst start possible to their 2009 South West Football season when all three teams lost in the opening round to powerhouse Bunbury United at the Soccerdrome in Bunbury on Sunday. Unfortunately the heat took its toll on players, especially the new ones to WA, and only one reserve was able to act as a substitute for the Premier League side.

Dunsborough 4 beat Dalyellup 1
The Dunsborough Towners took an important step to consolidate their place in the top four of the South West Premier league with a meritorious 4-1 victory over Dalyellup at Dalyellup on Sunday. This year was always going to be tough for both Dunsborough and Dalyellup forced into the Premier league due to circumstances beyond their control.

Dunsborough 5 beat Margaret River 1
The Dunsborough Towners were at their attacking best at the expense of Margaret River running riot to win their first round clash of the South West Football Association Pioneer knockout cup 5-1 at the Bunbury Superdrome on Sunday. However, the margin should have been more emphatic such were the chances that the Towners created in what was one-way traffic for most of the game.

Australind 1 beat Dunsborough 0
A victory that would have sent an emphatic message to the Premier football league went begging on Sunday when the Dunsborough Towners wasted a stream of second-half chances to succumb 1-0 loss to Australind at the Dunsborough Recreation Oval.
Despite this setback Dunsborough’s improvement to the season’s halfway mark has been spectacular and the manner of their defeat suggests they could well be in the championship mix at the end of the season.

Forced to make do and with the barest of resources the Dunsborough Towners pulled off a major upset beating Bunbury United 3-2 under a hot sun in a Premier League encounter at the Soccerdrome in Bunbury on Sunday.
For both sides it was a case of long weekend holiday blues with players missing for various reasons and Dunsborough having to rely on a three-man substitutes bench that had already played in a tough reserves game. Page 1 of 3 |
