• GAMES TIMES: Early and late games have been distributed as evenly as possible. Please ensure you double check game times up to and including on game day.

END OF SEASON WRITE UP:

The Action 6 Autumn season was easily for my mind one of the most even competitions that we’ve seen.

Mens 1

There were some really exiciting prospects in the Mens 1 competition this season and it was always going to down to a pretty tight affair as to not only who would make the finals, but as to who would take out the competition.

As it played out, we had a two of Action 6’s best performing squads battling it out in the Final with the Bayern Munchies squad looking to knock off Action 6’s most capped team, Guacamole. The game was definitely worthy of the occasion with the scores being locked until late in the game when ‘Guac’ managed to turn the screws and produce the winning goal.

It was great to see a lot of the most established teams in Action 6 battling it out in this division and they were joined this season by the impressive Petr Cech Yourself squad who showed a heap of potential by knocking off the reigning premiers Guacamole during the round games.

Casuals also produced a solid season but couldn’t quite match the agility and speed of the more experienced teams at this level. A drop down the ranks next season will produce a revival for these guys.

The Scripters again produced a solid season in the top division. As a foundation team, it’s always great to see these guys getting around the Action 6 field and while the boys are sitting the next season out, I can’t wait to see them back in Spring with a rejuvenated squad.

Mens 2

The Mens 2 division this season saw some really improved squads playing some great Action 6.

I particularly liked the effort teams like Forgive and Park the Bus put into upping their game when the crunch moments counted. Also impressive were the likes of Pussy Patrol who didn’t quite have the season that they could have but continued to perservere for the win right up until the last game.

Making it all the way to the Grand Final in the Mens two competition was Straya and Dragons FC who had by far and away been the most dominant teams in the division this season. And it took an absolute bell ringer of a game to separate them when it came to it!  In a game that went all the way in a 7 goal epic, Dragons FC came out on top 4-3 victors in one of the games of the season.

Other notable mentions for the season go to Man Chest Hair Utd who again were extremely solid. These guys will be a team to watch next season.

Mens 3

It was a packed Mens 3 divison this season and there were plenty of social yet competitive games throughout the season.

Team Dangerous put in one of their best ever seasons to finally realise their potential and make it through to a Grand Final. Joining them in the Final was the new squad Wu Tang FC. Wu Tang were a great team to get involved this season with a great amount of enthusiasm that Nav was able to instil in his men. In the big game, it was an epic encounter that needed extra time to separate them but a golden goal to Wu Tang gave them their maiden win.

One of the great ‘local derby’ games that has emerged at the Action 6 Wednesday venue over the last few season is the Massive Duds against Unathletico FC blockbuster. Head to Head it’s got to be pretty close and these games always produce something! Looking forward to more of those next season!

Pho King and S.C.U.M FC put in great efforts this time around and I wouldn’t be surprised if either of these teams were making it into Grand Finals next year providing Hung and Som are able to keep their squads together and maybe find a star striker or two!

Legion of Boom copped some heavy losses over the course of the season but still never wained in their efforts to improve. They weren’t helped by a lack of consistency in the squad but I really hope that a season’s break will see them back at some stage bigger and better than ever and given they’ve got the Cav twins in the mix, I would back them to make a Grand Final.
