CLUB MAKES ITS PRESENCE FELT IN A MOST

COMPETITIVE LEAGUE

The Old Scotch Soccer Club kicked off the 2023 season in style . The club has seen growth in the number of players , supporters and sponsors , as well as success and improvement across all of its teams .
This year , for the first time in its history , the club ’ s top two teams are competing in Victoria ’ s State League 1 , a very tough league . The playing standard is high and extremely competitive .
The club ’ s Senior team trained hard in pre-season to establish itself as a competitive team in the league . At the time of writing the team had succeeded in doing this on the back of several impressive victories . With 10 games to go , the team was sitting in the middle of the table , and was aiming to consolidate and improve this position in the coming weeks . The team boasts young and older players , including several who are still at school . The endeavour , camaraderie and spirit in the team are high .
At the time of writing , the Reserves team was sitting at the top of the ladder and boasted the highest goal difference in the league of + 15 . The club is pleased to maintain a strong connection to the school , with several young Old Boys becoming regulars in the starting line-up for the Reserves and helping to build the
club for the future . It is a long and tough season , but the plan is simple : to continue to do well , win the remaining games and win the league .
Old Scotch Soccer Club is a community club , open to everyone from within and outside the Scotch Family . The club caters for players at a wide range of levels , including junior boys and girls , and teams for older players who may be past their prime but still enjoy kicking the ball around .
The juniors ’ program provides a fantastic opportunity for younger members of the community to develop skills , make new friends , and have a great time in a warm and supportive environment . A highlight at the club this year was the junior girls ’ 3-1 victory against Glen Eira Football Club in their season opener . What a fantastic win that was .
The club thanks all of its sponsors from within and outside the Scotch Family , as well as all who continue to support the club . To enquire about supporting or sponsoring the club , please contact : committee @ ossc . com . au . JASON CHOI (' 07 ) – OLD SCOTCH SOCCER CLUB
