Women’s First Grade Mid-Season Review

FROM THE Captain – Amanda Skellern

What’s been the team’s best performance (or performances) so far this season?

We really hit our stride going 6 games undefeated in the middle of the first half of the season, but I would have to say our performance in Round 9 against Koalas was a stand out. In the first 5 minutes you could tell everyone was on their game and despite going down 1-0 after a set piece, we came back to win 2-1. Lots of things from training all came together and after some great team pressure – Hannah finished an incredible goal with two minutes to go!

What is the team’s biggest strength heading into the rest of the season?

We always play the full 90 minutes and that can give us an edge as we approach the business end of the season!

What match or matches are you looking forward to the most?

Can’t go past the derby match against North Shore Mariners on the 15th of July. It’s always a great close game and would it would be so good to get a win!! But otherwise we’re looking forward to all of our matches and improving on the first round.

Michelle Heyman Makes Her Tigers Debut

Matildas striker Michelle Heyman pulled on the green and white stripes for the first time this season on Sunday against NWS Koalas.

The 29-year-old slotted straight into the starting lineup and showed her class, constantly threatening the Koalas defence throughout the match. Despite not finding the back of the net, a first goal for the club is not far away based on Sunday’s performance!

Michelle is the fourth Matildas representative to play for the club this season, alongside Eliza Campbell, Ellie Brush and Servet Uzunlar.

Tigers finished the match 2-1 victors thanks to a spectacular winner from Hannah McNulty, extending our unbeaten run to six matches!

The team is back at home this Sunday at NTRA, hosting defending champions and current ladder leaders Manly United FC.

First Grade kicks off at 3pm, Reserve Grade at 1.05pm – come on down and support the players!

Player Profile: Ally Brown

How long have you been playing for Northern Tigers?

This is my fourth year with Tigers. I had one year in the U/20’s, one year transitioning between 20’s and first grade and then two years in first grade.

Which clubs have you previously played for?

I’ve been everywhere! I’ve been at Blacktown City, APIA, NSW Institute, Central Coast Mariners NYL and now finally settled at Tigers.

What have you enjoyed most about playing for Northern Tigers?

It really is a great club to be a part of.  Off the field, everyone is always fun to be around but we also make sure to work hard and do our thing on the field.

What position do you play? Have you always played there?

I’m currently playing in the attacking midfield role.  Growing up, I played a bit deeper in midfield and also plenty of left back but I’m definitely enjoying having the freedom to be as creative as I can further forward.

What is your personal goal for this season?

Obviously the main one is to win the league, hopefully I can do my part and contribute wherever I can.

Do you have a favourite club/player? Who/why?

I’m a big fan of Juan Mata.  He seems like a really genuine guy who always looks like he’s having fun when he plays.  Obviously he’s also very talented and I love his style and ability to create opportunities for the team.

What is your best football memory?

In 2015, I was lucky enough to go on a football tour to France and Spain. Amongst plenty of other experiences, we were able to watch Barcelona play live at the Camp Nou and also watch Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid live in the Champions League quarter-final.  The atmosphere was crazy and something I’ll always remember.

Michelle Heyman Signs On

Northern Tigers FC can today announce the signing of current Matildas striker Michelle Heyman for the remainder of the season.

Heyman is currently in Jordan with the Matildas for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup, looking to build on her record of 20 goals scored in 59 appearances.

The 29-year-old has played for Canberra United in the Westfield W-League since 2010, scoring 55 goals in 89 appearances.

“I am excited to join Tigers, looking forward to a new experience and working hard with the team” Heyman said.

Northern Tigers Technical Director Jason Eagar believes the star striker will have a key impact upon the team throughout the season.

“From a coaching perspective I’m really looking forward to working with Michelle, but as a football fan I am also looking forward to watching her play each week!” he said.

“Michelle will add a significant attacking threat to the squad once she returns from what I hope is a successful Matildas campaign at the Asian Cup.”

“To now have four capped Matildas in the Northern Tigers squad it is very exciting for the club and women’s football in NSFA.”

Heyman will join the Northern Tigers playing squad following the conclusion of the Matildas’ Asian Cup campaign.

Ellie Brush Joins Tigers

Northern Tigers FC are excited to announce the signing of Ellie Brush for the 2018 Women’s NPL season.

Brush played for Western Sydney Wanderers in the most recent season of the Westfield W-League and also featured for GWS Giants in the Women’s AFL.

The 29-year-old spent the majority of her playing career at Canberra United, winning two premierships and two championships as club captain.

Northern Tigers Technical Director Jason Eagar is looking forward to Brush’s debut as a Tigers player.

“Ellie will bring additional quality, experience, and leadership to the women’s squad. Her contribution both on and off the field will be invaluable for the club’s young aspiring players.”

“Having players of the calibre of Servet Uzunlar, Eliza Campbell and now Ellie Brush representing Northern Tigers provides a great opportunity for young girls in the NSFA to experience the best of women’s football in their own backyard.”

Brush joins the Northern Tigers squad for training this week and is expected to make her debut in the coming weeks.

Vale Ash Grant

The club would like to pay its respects to former coach Ash Grant, who unfortunately passed away yesterday.

Ash was our boys Under 13’s coach in 2014, with a few of our current U18 players in that team.

He was a very genuine, honest, down to earth character and well-liked and respected by all. While he coached the 13’s, he also gave us invaluable support at the time in maintaining Mills Park, providing his expertise as a professional groundsman.

He was only at the club for one season as travelling from the coast it was difficult for him to balance his work, family, and Terrigal United Football Club coaching commitments. However he left a great impression on anyone at the club fortunate enough to cross paths with him during his time.

His passing is greatly mourned by our club’s members and we extend our condolences and support to Ash’s family. Rest in Peace Ash.

Eliza Campbell joins Tigers for 2018

Northern Tigers FC are excited to announce the signing of Matildas goalkeeper Eliza Campbell for the 2018 NPL season.

Eliza is one of the most promising young goalkeepers in the country, making her debut for the Matildas last November against China.

https://www.facebook.com/adelaideunited/videos/10159981154470019/?hc_ref=ARRwYSXkkLyKsZLPbVGD5CEpizf4PhuBIaAp7cGud9Q3Wr2hqJaKzHOnY2Pr_qYGheg

After joining Northern Tigers for the second half of the 2017 season, the 22-year-old has returned to the club for the 2018 campaign after playing with Adelaide United in the W-League.

Eliza has played for Adelaide United in the last two seasons of the W-League and has previously played for Newcastle Jets and Norweigan clubs Medkila and Klepp.

With fellow Australian international Servet Uzunlar already signed on for the 2018 season, Eilza’s additional experience to the squad will be a massive asset in the club’s second season of NPL 1 football.

Tigers Duo Sign on for National Youth League

With the National Youth League kicking off this weekend, Northern Tigers FC would like to congratulate two of our players on joining A-Legaue clubs.

Goalkeeper Elliot Carwardine joins Western Sydney Wanderers FC, while striker Jordan Smylie (Berowra FC local junior) links up with Central Coast Mariners.

Technical Director Jason Eagar on Elliot: “Elliot is a long term Northern Tigers player, having spent five seasons at the club developing his craft from the Under 13’s.”

“He has a first class attitude that will serve him well as he enters the professional environment at Western Sydney Wanderers.”

“Gaining exposure playing First Grade as a 17-year-old at Northern Tigers this season showcased Elliot’s potential to the A-League clubs, providing opportunities for young players is an integral part of our player development strategy”

Eagar on Jordan: “Jordan has been on the Central Coast Mariners’ radar for a few seasons, I wish him all the best in pursuing a career as a professional footballer.”

“Jordan has spent the last three seasons at Northern Tigers, gaining valuable 1st Grade experience in 2017 as a 17-year-old.”

“Northern Tigers has a very strong player development philosophy, providing opportunities and a platform for young players like Jordan to take the step to the next level.”
