Kellyville Kolts hosted the Rouse Hill Rams in a round 5 first-grade fixture on Saturday afternoon at Bernie Mullane. The Kolts were facing a challenging game, with more than a third of their squad unavailable due to injuries and other commitments. They were forced to rely on the depth of their squad to overcome the Rams.
Despite the obstacles, both teams started the game with intensity and determination. The game was evenly contested, with both teams creating chances but unable to convert them into goals. The Kolts defence held strong, frustrating the Rams' attack, and the Rams' defence was equally resolute, denying the Kolts any clear-cut chances.
In the second half, both teams continued to push forward, but neither could make the most of their opportunities. The Kolts tried to break the deadlock, bringing on fresh legs to inject some energy into their play, but the Rams were equally determined to keep a clean sheet.
As the game wore on, tensions rose, and the game became more physical, but neither team could find the breakthrough. The game ended in a goalless draw, leaving both teams with a point each.
Despite the disappointing result, the Kolts can take some positives from the game, having shown resilience and determination against a tough opponent. They will now regroup and prepare for their next game against Norwest Football Club in the Premier League Match of the Round 3:00pm Saturday 29 April at Valentines Sports Park.

It’s not everyday you see a hat trick from a Centre Back. If you were fortunate enough to be at the immaculate Bernie Mullane, you would have been one of the lucky few to see our Centre Back and Man of The Match, Michael Easterbrook, do just that. Easterbrook was sensational on the day both defensively (his job) and on set pieces. Scoring from 2 corners and completing the hat trick with a sublime free kick.
The Kolts were relentless as they dominated their opponent and swarmed them all day. Box Hill had little answer and seldom entered the Kolts half. With K.Allen and C.Siney both completing deserved doubles on the day, tireless Right Back workhorse Matt Drane, got the goal he deserved from previous weeks.
That’s 3 from 3 for our PYL in their march for glory.
Next up, is fierce rivals, Rouse Hill Rams 🐏 at Bernie Mullane. Get down to Bernie next week Saturday 1pm 💪🏽
Until then, Bleed ❤️🖤❤️🖤
