CARRAMAR SHAMROCK ROVERS SECURE PROMOTION ON A DRAMATIC FINAL DAY

The 2026 State League Division Two title went right down to the wire, with Adam Walsh’s Carramar Shamrock Rovers edging out Wembley Downs in a dramatic Week 22. Both sides went into the final game with promotion in their sights, and it was Rovers who secured it with a 2-0 win against Kalamunda City at the Aero Ranger Maida Vale Reserve on Saturday afternoon, which also ended Kalamunda’s playoff hopes. “Wow, what a day it was. Absolutely amazing for the club, the players and the coaching staff,” Walsh said. “The boys gave everything to get the points, and I said before the game, we need to go out and fight for it and the league will sort itself out, and thankfully it did. A few tears of joy post-match, and a few beers and a league title — can’t ask for more.”

Rovers made the best possible start, taking the lead in the opening five minutes, with Jackson Dongray producing a bullet cross for Lewis Jones, who rose highest to power home the opener. Kalamunda weren’t finished, and Rovers were on the back foot, but they held firm. The news started filtering through from the other game, and Kalamunda really pressed for the equaliser, but again Rovers weren’t to be breached, and seven minutes from time they scored the vital second goal. A quick counter-attack saw Ravi Singh break through with a powerful run, and he scored a great solo goal to seal the victory and promotion.

Wembley Downs were the favourites going into the last week, and a win would have seen them promoted, but they were beaten 2-1 by Balga AFC at Princess Road Reserve, a win which secured a playoff spot for the hosts against Subiaco, while Wembley Downs will meet Rockingham City. Both semi-finals will be decided over two legs, with the winners meeting in the final at the Sam Kerr Football Centre to decide who gets the final place in Division One in 2027. Balga coach Amir Dzamastagic said he is extremely proud of his players. “What a game, and what a way to finish the regular season,” he said.

“Going into our final game, we knew exactly what was at stake. Wembley, sitting first on the ladder, needed a win to secure top spot and automatic promotion. For us, we had to win to move into fourth place and secure a playoff position. We prepared as well as we possibly could during the week. We were confident in our ability and, importantly, we didn’t carry Wembley’s pressure of having to win. We knew we were facing an excellent side and went into the game as underdogs, but we believed in ourselves and in the work we had done.”

Wembley scored the opening goal early, with top goalscorer Toby Robertson finding the net, and things looked on course. But Balga hit back and levelled on 20 minutes. Jose Zuniga pressed brilliantly inside their box and punished a mistake to bring them level. The big crowd were getting their money’s worth, with chances at both ends, but it was the hosts who found the decisive goal early in the second half. David Dimola played Finn Pidgeon through, and he made no mistake. Balga had a chance for a third, but Dimola’s effort hit the post. Balga keeper Jigme Phuntsho Tee was in outstanding form, producing some great saves to keep Wembley at bay and seal the big win.

“To come away with the result against a team of Wembley’s quality is a fantastic achievement, and we are extremely proud of the players,” Dzamastagic added. “We are also incredibly happy with how far this group has come, particularly considering the extremely difficult circumstances surrounding our takeover in Round Nine. To finish with 39 points on the board is a tremendous credit to every player we have had the privilege of working with. From the beginning, the players bought into our training methods, match concepts and principles. They have worked incredibly hard, trusted the process and continued to improve.

“Along the way, we have produced some excellent performances and scored a lot of memorable goals. More importantly, we have built belief and togetherness within the group, and now everything is in play. We look forward to facing a strong Subiaco side in the playoff. We will prepare this week in the same way we have done throughout this run — with belief, hard work and attention to detail. We will take it one game at a time and give everything we have to keep this journey going. We are proud of where we are, but we are not finished yet.”

At the other end of the table, it was even closer, with three teams fighting to avoid relegation. At the end of the three games, it was Gosnells City who look like ending 56 consecutive years in the State League after a 4-3 defeat against Forrestfield United at Walter Padbury Reserve. Meanwhile, big wins on the final day by Canning City at Rockingham City saw them move clear of the playoff spot, while North Beach’s win against Ashfield saw them move into the playoff spot — although that could all change, as the Amateur Premier Division is still ongoing.

First up, Canning City knew that if they avoided defeat, they would seal their survival, and that’s exactly what happened. “We knew a draw was enough to stay up, but during a team meeting in the week we decided to go with our normal game plan, as we believed we had it in us to get the result,” Canning coach Lee Hayward explained. “The effort from the boys was massive, and it proved we have more when we want it. The second half of the season was a lot better, with a big home win against Kalamunda and away wins at Forrestfield and Rockingham. We will be hoping that provides a platform to build on for 2027.” The only goal of the game came on the hour mark. Hanani Ndebele received the ball on the right and outpaced his marker before firing into the top corner of the net from the edge of the box.

North Beach needed a win and hoped Gosnells slipped up, and that’s what happened. An own goal early in the second half gave them a 1-0 win against Ashfield at Charles Riley Memorial Reserve. Ayden Dragun’s set-piece was headed into his own net by an Ashfield defender. “Relieved, excited, drained, is how I would describe how I feel after that final win of the season and what it meant to the club,” North Beach coach Nick Di Carlo explained.

“We had a great home crowd again this week, which lifted the whole team. We felt in control from kick-off but didn’t take some early chances, and the goal eventually came from some luck, but we created that luck from sustained pressure and should have scored more. Having updates from the Gosnells game added another element to the atmosphere, but we knew we had to win and couldn’t be more motivated to work with the group for the next few weeks and return to the playoff environment.”

Gosnells were beaten at home by Forrestfield United. The visitors led 3-2 at half-time, with goals from A. Reynolds and a Nathan Costello brace, while Darren Francis and skipper Aaron Coslani scored for the hosts. Davin Park made it 4-2 to United, and despite James Burns pulling one back for Gosnells late, they couldn’t find an equaliser. In the other game on the final day, East Perth beat Morley Windmills at Hudson Park. Goals from Gerard Clarke and Adam McLaughlin gave the hosts a 2-0 lead, but a red card to Ryan O’Regan saw them reduced to ten men. The visitors did pull one back late, with Noel Disha scoring from the spot, but it was too little too late.
