LGSHA 2025: Carter's strike gives wily Mt Barker the edge over North Albany in Retravision A-Grade contest

Laura Carter scored the only goal of the game as Mt Barker edged North Albany in the Lower Great Southern Hockey Association's Retravision women's A-grade competition on Saturday in Albany. Renae Parsons bossed the midfield for Mt Barker and Olivia Riggall was always a threat, but Redbacks had chances, notably from a penalty corner which was blocked heroically by Clare King. Urged to press by coach Darren Parkes because they had nothing to lose, Redbacks came close in the final stages but Mt Barker stayed strong to move level with their rivals on points after the 1-0 result. Mt Barker coach Richard Ewen admitted his side had been fortunate to hold on at the death. 'It was an even game, we had chances and so did they,' he said. 'They really pressed in the second half, so we were maybe a bit lucky in the end.' Parkes' view was that his side had made a slow start and could not get the better of Mt Barker's wise heads. 'We were missing a few players but we didn't really turn up,' he said. 'They had the experience and the level heads who controlled the game.' Parsons, King and Carter were Mt Barker's best while Stella Gordon, Beck Gallimore and Tully Joy caught the eye for Redbacks. Spencer Park head the ladder, three points clear of North Albany who trail Mt Barker on win ratio. Lauren Spinks, Chloe Bunny, Ruby Bradbury and Charlotte Clayton scored for the defending premiers in their 4-1 victory over Manypeaks. Georgia Stephenson found the net for Manypeaks and performed well, along with Kathryn Slattery and Bronwyn Pitman. Rachael Goetze, Tallulah Gouldthorp and Sarah Hearle were Park's best performers. Parkes had a busy day, for once his coaching duties were over, he was in action on the pitch for Spencer Park in the men's A-grade competition against Manypeaks. It was Peaks who were first out of the blocks converting two penalty corners for a 2-0 lead. However, Park were able to gather their wits and fight back with two corners of their own, the game eventually ending 3-3. Jack Mills, Mitch Bradbury and Ryan Johnson were on target for Manypeaks while Park's response came from Mitchell Pike, Charlie Hudson and Parkes. Mills, Bradbury and Oliver Douglas played well for Peaks while Pike, Ben Ross and Parkes were Park's best performers. Parkes said they had been able to adjust after a team talk at quarter-time. 'We were very much on the back foot at the start, but we were able to change focus and, in the end, we got them on the hop,' he said. The draw means Spencer Park stay top of the ladder, three points clear of Manypeaks. In the other game, Redbacks beat Mt Barker 2-0 thanks to goals from Reuben Law-Davis and Jack Stevens. Astyn Temby, Hamish Wilkes and Lawson Terpstra were on form for Redbacks while Aaron Downham, Oliver Ritchie and Nic Slade did their best in a losing cause for Mt Barker.

GSFL 2025: New leader in coaches votes award as McNamara and Parker pick up perfect 10s in Belt-Up Round

Declan McNamara and Hayden Parker scored perfect 10s in the Great Southern Football League Coaches Player of the Year Award in Belt-Up Round at the weekend. Mt Barker star Darcy Wallinger has taken the outright lead in the coaches' votes after four rounds of the new season, sitting three votes clear of last year's winner and Kleemann Medallist Ryley Valli. McNamara received the Belt-Up Round match ball after a dominant midfield display in Royals' narrow win over North Albany at Retravision Stadium on Sunday, picking up five votes from each coach. The Lions gun moved inside the top 10 on the leaderboard and he sits just nine votes behind Wallinger. Parker booted 10 goals in a brilliant game up forward as Railways thumped Denmark-Walpole at Keep The Sheep Stadium. He received the Belt-Up Round match ball as well and was unanimously judged best on ground, with 10 votes propelling him up the leaderboard as well. In the other round four fixture, Bulls ruckman Keane Griffiths received the Belt-Up Round ball from the umpires and picked up eight coaches votes in the process as his side beat the Sharks by five points at Sounness Park. Sharks' Isaac Baum and Wallinger picked up seven votes each in that game to continue their strong seasons thus far. Railways' Jayden Scott is third overall ahead of Sharks pair Bryce Blaszkow and Baum and just five votes separate the top five on the leaderboard. Each league coach votes 5-4-3-2-1 for players on both sides at the end of every game. 2025 Coaches' Player of the Year Award Voting Round 4 Mt Barker v Albany 8 Keane Griffiths (MB) 7 Isaac Baum (ALB) 7 Darcy Wallinger (MB) 4 Darcy Clarke (MB) 2 Taj Williams (ALB) 1 Bailey Taylor (ALB) 1 Daniel Patching (MB) Railways v Denmark-Walpole 10 Hayden Parker (RAIL) 7 Lachie Cale (RAIL) 6 Coen Marwick (RAIL) 3 Ryley Valli (RAIL) 2 Hayden Leo (RAIL) 1 Ryan Hick (DW) 1 Jayden Scott (RAIL) Royals v North Albany 10 Declan McNamara (ROY) 8 Matt Orzel (NA) 3 Joel Flick (ROY) 3 Cleve Humphries (ROY) 2 Ulrich Kriek (NA) 2 Brayden Parker (ROY) 2 Kobi Keen (NA) Leaderboard 23: Darcy Wallinger (MB) 20: Ryley Valli (RAIL) 19: Jayden Scott (RAIL) 18: Bryce Blaszkow (ALB) Isaac Baum (ALB) 15: Taj Williams (ALB) 14: Daniel Patching (MB) Declan McNamara (ROY) 13: Seb Ballard (MB) Darcy Clarke (MB) Hayden Parker (RAIL) 12: Tyler Stone (DW) Lachie Cale (RAIL) Matt Orzel (NA) Kobi Keen (NA) 11: Kane Pinney (ALB) 10: Sam Holmes (ALB)
