Gippsland United Football Club

Not the end to the season we had hoped for.
United dominating the possession again yet were unable to convert the bulk of the play into scoring opportunities. Berwick on the other hand were clinical in front of goals and that was the difference.
On behalf of GUFC we congratulate Berwick on achieving promotion and thank them for supporting our Club yesterday. A great group of fans who were all respectful and really well behaved.

It was a bumper final day and probably the biggest crowd we’ve ever had at Baxter Park. The place was absolutely packed!!
Thanks to our fabulous volunteers, especially Pete and Shaz, who cooked over 300 snags and burgers and made four trips to the supermarket to restock. Ella and the bar staff also run off their feet with fridges empty this morning.
Scotty Smith will be rubbing his hands together at the prospect of taking this bounty of cans to the recycling depot.

All in all it has been a positive year across the Senior squads. Our young players, many only one year out of juniors, all the better for the experience of State 2 senior footy.
With an average age of just 22 the future is a bright one and we’ll look to improve on this year’s achievements, strengthen the depth of our list and be knocking on the door of promotion to the State league’s top flight soon!

SENIOR MEN

Our Season finale is a blockbuster home fixture. A Berwick win assures them of promotion. United stand in their way!

Can’t complain about possession and our opportunities to score. We had plenty of both. They didn’t equate to goals unfortunately. Casey took their chances and that’s the simple story of the night.

Big finish to the season next week, hosting Berwick City in two blockbuster games at Baxter Park!
