Bay team focuses on all-out attack

Northern Star
ALL-OUT attack will be the directive from Byron Bay coach Peter Ware when the unbeaten Rams host major premiers Goonellabah at 3pm.

The Bay sits on top of the ladder after winning all three games so far, with their attacking style already yielding 15 goals.

“We don’t play with a focus on strikers, we like to give everybody in the side a chance to push forward and score,” Ware said.

Congratulations Savannah Boller! Newcastle Permanent Junior Player of the Week

Savannah Boller Player of the Week

Savannah Boller – Under 14/1 – Byron Bay FC – Football Far North Coast

For a player who only took up football two years ago, Savannah has come a long way. Having played rugby in Sydney, when her family moved North she switched codes and put her ball handling skills to good use. In the FFNC 12 girls representative team she was identified by selectors for her talent and went on to be selected as the goalkeeper in the NNSW state team.

hard earned three points

Sammy Owens

Although the Byron Rams’ came home the winners with 3 points, the Premier grade football Squad’s trip out west to play the Casino Cobras on the weekend is one they would rather forget.  Several Premier reserves players were unavailable in the first game and they were forced to plug the gaps with top grade players in the first game.  The 3rd rate Casino pitch full of potholes, deep dips and ruts is far below the standard of any other on the FNC.  That, combined with match balls out of round made it near impossible to control or pass the ball accurately. That point certainly evened the odds for the weaker Cobras team and they took every advantage they could.

Rams decimate Italo Stars

Tom Ruhl shoots off a header to score 1 of his 4 goals

It was a 90 minute death by a thousand cuts for Lismore’s Italo Stars when they took on the Park Hotel sponsored Byron Bay Rams at Byron on Saturday. The Rams decimated Stars 9-0 putting on a brilliant display of beautiful, fast paced Premier League football. After 4 weeks of washed out premiership games, Rams coach Peter Ware was busting to get his new look side out to show what they can do. “We beat Stars 4-1 in the first round of the pre season Anzac Cup competition” he said. “However we will be wary of complacency, as it nearly cost us the game against Lennox Head six weeks ago”.

Byron Rams into the Anzac Cup grand final

Sam Owens and Jordan Nind (image: dogwhistle)

With 3 wins in a row from 3 games and 11 goals to their credit the Park Hotel sponsored Byron Bay Rams were full of confidence going into their Anzac Cup semi final hit up with arch rivals Lismore Thistles last Sunday. Thistles “Blues” coach Paul Parmenter ran on the same side that smashed Ballina 5-0 last week and he was looking for the same from his fast attacking squad. The 200 or so vocal spectators were treated to fast and furious action from the start and in the first 15 minutes there were 15 attacks or shots on goal at either end. The pace from both sides was blistering and both midfields were working overtime distributing the ball to the flanks or up through the middle. Rams coach Peter Ware gave Layton Barton the difficult task of closing down Blues veteran playmaker Darren Beadow.

Semi Final berth for Byron Rams in Anzac Cup

Tommy Ruhl (image: dogwhistle)

A Byron Bay Rams Premier division football squad unbeaten run to the Anzac Cup semi finals was looking shaky on Sunday. The Rams went into the match against the newly promoted Lennox Head Sharks as firm favourites on recent form however the Sharks had other ideas. The players found it hard to control the ball on the very soft and wind blown Skennars Head pitch. With just two minutes gone Sharks striker Paul Kirkland forced his way through a complacent and unprepared Rams defence and scored their first goal. The shocked Rams side rallied, and then started to take control and didn’t seem to let the 1 goal deficit worry them.
