21.01.2022 4 days until Pre-Season begins! Lindblom Park - Quinlivan Road, Pooraka 7:00pm New players welcome!

21.01.2022 It was a devastating end to a great season for the A Grade last week to be eliminated on penalties. The boys showed tremendous character to come back from 2-0 down in the final 10 minutes against Division 1 opposition. Even with the defeat, Gianni Marro provided one of the moments of the season with his 90th minute equaliser to take the game to penalties! Matchday Productions

20.01.2022 Results A Grade: Gleeson FC 2 (TOG, Marro) Adelaide Red Blue Eagles 2 (RBE win 4-2 on penalties) B Grade: Gleeson FC 0 Modbury Jets 1 C Grade: Gleeson FC 2 (Reilly, McDonnell) Modbury Jets 0... 3 tight games resulting in 1 win and 2 devastating eliminations. In a largely scrappy game, the A Grade recovered from 2-0 down with 2 goals in the final 10 minutes to send the game to penalties. An incredible own goal gave the boys a lifeline before Gianni Marro, who was pushed up front for the last few minutes, struck home with a clever finish to set up a grandstand finish. It was not to be in the shoot out with RBE advancing to the semi finals. The B’s battled strongly but were unable to claw back Modbury’s first half goal but can be extremely proud of their performance. Despite both the A & B Grade being eliminated from the Presidents Cup, we can take huge heart from our performances against Division 1 opposition and we prepare for our first season back in Division 2 next year! The C’s secured a top 3 finish with strong performance against Modbury. After a tight battle, Mark Reilly opened the scoring after a goalmouth scramble before Sean McDonnell capitalised on some excellent work from Awet Junior to seal the points with the last kick of the game. A big thank you to everyone who came out and supported us yesterday!

19.01.2022 Results C Grade: Pitbulls 2 Gleeson FC 2 (Bianco, Esposito) The points were shared in an entertaining game with plenty of chances for both sides. Pitbulls shaded the first half but the boys went ahead as Nick Bianco slotted home from the penalty spot after being brought down in the box 5 minutes before half time. Pitbulls hit back with 2 goals in quick time to take a 2-1 lead into half time. ... We had the better chances in the second half with Julian Esposito equalising with a quality strike from outside the box but we couldn’t find the winner despite having some good opportunities. One final game against Modbury next week!

18.01.2022 Presentation Night Friday the 23rd of October! Ahead of the big night - here is the B Grade review for season 2020. After winning the title in 2019 and with minimal turnover in the playing stocks, challenging for the Rudi Templin Shield was the aim for season 2020. After failing to beat One Tree Hill on 3 occasions in 2019, the 2 clashes with the Billies were always going to be pivotal in the race for top spot. A 3-1 win over One Tree Hill got our season off to a flying sta...rt which was backed up with a 13-0 belting of Northern Wolves. That strong start looked to have come undone against Elizabeth Grove in Round 3 after falling behind 3-0 but a gutsy comeback secured a 3-3 draw to maintain top spot. Our passage into the knockout President’s Cup was confirmed after a 5-2 win in our second clash with One Tree Hill and the Shield was secured in the penultimate game of the season after beating Elizabeth Grove 3-1 to make it back to back silverware. The boys got through to the quarter finals of the President’s Cup following a memorable penalty shootout win over Adelaide Pumas before being eliminated by Division 1 side Modbury Jets 1-0. The old stagers led the way again with Pete Annese marshalling the defence, Gaeten Annese destroying all opposition attacks in midfield, Adam Giancaspro pulling all the strings in midfield and Dave Allocca clinically finishing the chances. Adam, who played just 5 games before going down with a season ending knee injury, was still the top scorer in the league, such was his dominance. His injury badly hurt our attacking options, although Andrew Seeley stepped up to fill the void scoring 13 goals from the wing with his aggression and quality a highlight. Marc Capaldi and Camron Slessor provided quality at full back while Carlo Labbozzetta’s versatility made him a crucial player by season’s end.

04.01.2022 Presentation Night is next Friday night! Today we review the A Grade: Our Rudi Templin Shield campaign got off to the best possible start with a 2-0 win over One Tree Hill, who along with Elizabeth Grove, were tipped to be our main competitors for the Shield. After comfortably accounting for cellar dwellers Northern Wolves and M.U Stars in double digit thumping’s, a 4-2 win away to Grove solidified our status as the team to beat. The 2nd clash against One Tree Hill in Round... 6 was destined to be our biggest game yet but the boys turned on the style, belting the Billies 5-0 on their own patch to open up a 6 point lead at the top of the table. With only 1 point required from our final 2 games to seal the title, we faltered badly against Elizabeth Grove, trailing 3-0 heading into the final 10 minutes. Having seen the reserves already seal their title earlier that day, the boys rallied with 3 quick fire goals, with David Altamura’s last minute equaliser sealing the title in dramatic fashion. With the title in the bag, we warmed up for the President’s Cup with a 10-1 thumping of Adelaide Dragon to make it 4 games where we topped 10 goals. The Round of 16 pitted us against Monarchs who we swatted aside 4-0 to set up our biggest test yet against Division 1 powerhouse Adelaide Red Blue Eagles. Trailing 2-0 with 10 minutes to go, the character of the boys was on show again with 2 late goals taking the game to penalties where Red Blue Eagles triumphed, knocking us out at the Quarter Final phase. Under new coach Andrew Witts, a number of players showed rapid improvement playing in a new system. Our defence conceded just 9 goals in 12 games, led by the man mountains Gianni Marro and new recruit Steve Van Diepen. Nathan Monda was given the captain’s armband and took his game to another level in midfield alongside Cristian Ricciardi who thrived in a deeper than normal role. Our attack was devastating at times, slotting home 71 goals in 12 games led by Yianni Nestoras who banged home 24 goals. Yianni, who began his Gleeson career as a mysterious +1 on our Team App for a training session in May, was unplayable at times with his pace and dribbling ability forming a strong partnership with Lucas Fazzini who had a strong season in a new wide role, flanking the big body of Matt Mignone, who chipped in himself with 8 goals in his first season at the club, and his first season as a striker!

04.01.2022 Final game of the season tonight as the C Grade take on Modbury Jets! Kick off at 7:00pm. Richardson Reserve - Richardson Drive, Wynn Vale

02.01.2022 Ahead of Presentation Night on Friday the 23rd of October we will be reviewing the season of all 3 teams starting with the C Grade! After a 2nd place finish in 2019, this season shaped as a much tougher challenge for the C Grade facing 4 Division 1 opponents and Salisbury Sharks who won the title in 2019. The boys started the season strongly, winning 6 of their opening 7 games with the only blemish coming against eventual champions Red Blue Eagles. A 3 game winless run betw...een rounds 8 & 10 ended our title hopes but a strong finish to the season secured 3rd spot. The mix of youth and experience gave the squad a good balance with veterans Mark Reilly and Arash Atighi marshalling the defence in front of keeper Anthony Russo who continued his rapid development throughout the season. Nick Bianco looked a class above after settling for a full season in the C Grade after his serious knee injury in 2019. Nick’s confidence grew as the season went on with his skill and trickery and looks set to be a big player for the A Grade squad next season. Tony Vello, Daniel Perotti and Michael Barton provided valuable experience in midfield and providing the chances for prolific striker Julian Esposito who scored 9 goals in his 8 C Grade games. First year players Carmine Alvaro, Jordan Moore, Luca Labbozzetta & Awet Junior all showed glimpses during the year and with Sean McDonnell, John Caretti, Mojtaba Rezai and Anthony Iengo all continuing to improve, the strength in depth across the club continues to build for season 2021. .
