The latest Futsal Champs: Men's Semi's. Women's first semi.

ACT Men downed the Victorians..comfortably tonight.
Quiet game, but the Vic's were well beaten, maybe 5-1!
ACT cruised to a three goal lead and were never really threatened.

Former Futsalroo Elliot Zwangobani celebrated beautifully in front of the home support.

And in the other Semi....

NSW's beat the Solomon Islands scoring the decisive goal in the last minute. 3-2 to last year's Champs.

But the Solomon's whose players are mainly just 17 were the team to watch.
Skill, pace and tricks, only poor finishing gave the laborious NSW's side the win.

The crowd picked up on the pace and flair of the Islanders who are preparing for the Oceania Championships. A win there and they are off to the World Cup in Brazil in October.

Who would bet against them. Not me! They have bundles of skill, play with tactical nous and will challenge Australia in years to come, if not sooner.

Women's First Semi.

The Matildas were watching from the stands as a Melissa Barbieri led Victorian side went down to a rampaging Jo Burgess inspired Queensland.

A great game this one. Barbieri saved, shot, hit the bar at one point, and generally amazed the crowd. Burgess, dragged, dummied and pounded the goal of her Matildas team mate.

Burgess was inspiring and made it look so so easy.

Queensland won. Score? I dunno. It was late, I was tired, it was hot and I had to go, but the Queenslanders deserved it, just.
