Teachers 2-0 7P
 |
| Mr. Piccolo in action! |
With Mr Alessandro bossing the midfield and Miss Giulia making incisive runs on the right, 7P were in trouble from the start. New signing Mr Paolo stretched them on the left too and created the first chance for Mr Alessandro, whose fierce shot was somehow stopped by a shaken Senai.
It was Mr Paolo who also supplied a pinpoint cross to Mr Piccolo's head for the first goal.
7P tried to react. Lorenzo combined well with Daniel more than once but Mr Chad, Mr Matteo, Miss Randall and Miss Westelaken never really let them get close enough to trouble Mr Martin in goal.
Mr Alessandro sealed the victory with a second goal.

Homeroom Final: 8V 1-4 7P
2005: an excellent football vintage at Ambrit - homeroom champions in G6, homeroom champions in G7!
8V got off to a flying start; another well-taken headed goal from Manfredi off a Giuseppe throw-in and it looked like physical advantage might be important.
But 7P found a way back into the game when 8V conceded an indirect free kick inside the area. The ball was tapped to Gavin and he equalised.
Annie made a crucial block shortly afterwards to keep Manfredi out and, at the other end, Peter made a series of great saves, especially Ale N was played in beautifully by Lorenzo.
The next 7P attack however forced Ale Z into an own-goal and Senai and Daniel added two late goals to seal the victory!

7P 4-0 6R
With a good part of last year's homeroom Champions team on board, 7P never looked like losing this one.
They made chance after chance and, after Daniel put them 1-0 up, Senai added a hat-trick to take them into tomorrow's final.
Cristian managed couple of shots and stretched Louis both times, once hitting the post. Best player on the pitch today?...Lorenzo!
4.10.17
6R 3-2 6F
Guillermo opened the scoring today but Cristian responded with a hat-trick to send 6R into tomorrow's semi-final.
With 6F leading 1-0, Giacomo made an unbelievable save off Pietro after Cristian had played him in with a lovely pass.
Cristian's equaliser came when he received a pass from Pietro way out on the right touch line and lobbed a long shot over an out-of-position Giacomo.
Mari played Guillermo in for another chance and Guillermo made no mistake: 2-1 to 6F. But 6R pushed their way back into the game and Cristian sealed the points with two more goals.

A Winning Start for Ambrit
Ambrit's u14 team got off to a great start to the new season today, winning the year's first RISA tournament against some strong opposition.
A packed Ambrit stadium saw Lapo put the team 1-0 up against Castelli; Manfredi added two more goals, one a very sweet header off a Peter corner. The team tired a little towards the end, allowing Castelli to get back to 3-2, but time ran out and the three points were collected.
The second game was against St George's. Pietro started and showed everyone why he was the u11 team's top scorer last year, tucking away three chances to put Ambrit 3-1 ahead after 10 minutes.
Manfredi then took over goal-scoring duries and matched Pietro's haul. Ambrit now had 6 points out of 6 and needed only a draw against New School to proceed to the final.
A 4-2 victory, with goals from Pietro, Manfredi and Lapo (2) made sure of qualification.
In the final, Pietro again led the attack and he scored all three goals in a 3-1 victory.
Lots of great performances today.
Max was solid in goal and Giuseppe, Peter and Elias were largely impeccable in defence. Lapo played his best ever football in an Ambrit shirt. Gavyn protected the defence. Good contributions from Giacomo, Theo, Jerry and Giorgio.
TEAM: Max; Giuseppe (capt), Peter, Elias; Lapo, Pietro, Gavyn; Manfredi; Joel, Giacomo, Jerry, Theo, Giorgio.

6A - 6F
6A came out today determined to make up for yesterday's defeat... and they did! However, they're helped by the fact that 6F were forced to play with only 7 - and sometimes only 6 - players on the field thanks to disciplinary action by one of their teachers.
Mateo scored very early on with a well-placed shot into the bottom corner and he might have added a second late on when his powerful shot from midfield smashed against the crossbar.
In between, clear chances on goal were rare though 6F almost scrambled one over the line from a corner and another corner, driven in by Guillermo, had to be saved by an alert Taki.
Next week sees a showdown between 6R and 6F.
A draw is enough for the Rs: the Fs need a win!

6A - 6R
Great excitement today at Ambrit Stadium as the players of 6A and 6R made their middle school football debuts.
6A dominated the early possession but we unable to test 6R's goalkeeper. As the minutes ticked by, 6R came more into the game and then 6A made an error in defence, their keeper picking up a back pass and conceding an indirect free kick. Pietro touched the ball to Cristian and he blasted it past Taki for 1-0.
Cristian added a second a few minutes later following a solo run which took him past two defenders. He finished wide on the left and slipped the ball past an onrushing Taki.
But 6R never gave up and, just when there seemed to be no hope, Paul dribbled inside and unleashed an accurate shot to the top corner to make it 2-1.
But it was too little, too late and 6R took the three points and 6A need a result against 6F tomorrow!

7M 2-2 7P
Honours shared in a tight, competitive encounter that sees 7P through to the semi-finals.
Anthony opened the scoring with a well-disguised shot from distance. Senai came on and equalised soon after and Gavin put his team in front when he pounced onto a loose ball in the area and smashed it past Max.
Anthony took advantage of a moment of distraction in midfield to lob an equaliser past Louis.
7P will play semi-final against G6 Champions on Thursday Oct 5th

Autumn Intramural: Teams & Calendar
Hot off the press!
The teams for our first IM tournament of the year have been published and competition looks very hot this year. (Calendar here)
Some fascinating questions immediately come to mind:
The teams for our first IM tournament of the year have been published and competition looks very hot this year. (Calendar here)
Some fascinating questions immediately come to mind:
- Can Manfredi keep up his remarkable scoring average and make Mr Antonio happy by leading Milan to victory?
- Can Lapo impose some discipline on his unruly team-mates and keep Roma fighting for the title?
- Can Cristian really play for Lazio?
- Can anyone stop Lucrezia from lifting another winners' trophy?

7K 1-0 7M
A well-organised 7K team won a close encounter today against their talented but chaotic opponents.
The only goal was scored when Tommaso crossed to Jacopo and he slid it past Max.
Michele struck a post for 7M but, otherwise, Andrea dealt with all dangers very well. Jacopo might have added a second but Raphael, just on, cleared it of the line.
Tommaso, red-carded at the end, will miss the next game.

8T 2-1 8F
8T and 8F fought out a very entertaining and competitive game today.
8T drew first blood when Lapo made a fantastic run down the right and placed a perfect cross onto the toe of an oncoming Matilde in the centre.
Tiberio kept his team in it with a brilliant double save from Pietro / Ivan but, a little later, he could do nothing to stop Ivan who used his pace to outstrip the defence and equalise with a well-placed shot.
But Lapo responded immediately with another mazy dribble and he crowned this one off with a goal.
Tiberio made two more excellent saves - one from Ivan, one from Theo - and, at the other end, Gabeen made a great save off a Matilde header.
Ivan looked to be through on goal again near the end but a cynical handball from Alina stopped the move. Alina was sent off but her personal sacrifice probably saved the victory!

8V 6-1 8F
The final scoreline is unjustly harsh on 8F, who played well and were certainly not 5 goals off the pace.
Early goals from Manfredi, Alessandro and Giuseppe made it seem easy for 8V but Niccolo', Ivan and Lucrezia were creating lots of problems for 8V in defence.
Niccolo' in particular forced good saves from Federico and Giuseppe today and also hit the bar twice, once with an amazing bicycle kick that would have been a candidate for Goal of the Season.
Hope for 8F came from an unexpected source when Ivan finished off a good team move but Alessandro (1) and Manfredi (2) put the final nails in the coffin.

Only ten seconds into the new season and the first goal arrived: Manfredi shot hard from 15 meters and Tiberio was unable to keep it out.
8T equalised with a superb cross-shot from Matilde but Manfredi restored his team's lead and Alessandro extended it.
Just when the match seemed to be over, Lapo made a fantastic run through the opposing defence and was cynically chopped down by Peter. Lapo went off injured, Peter was sent off, Matilde converted the penalty but 8V held on to win.

Colpo di scena!
The 8th graders took advantage of their last chance to beat the teachers with a well-earned victory today at Ambrit Stadium.
First half goals from Taro and Gabriele put the teachers on the back foot.
Despite some fantastic football from Player of the Match Miss Giulia, Mr Alessandro's early 2nd half goal was not enough and the final whistle was greeted with joy and relief by Gabriele et al.

ANSPI: what a comeback!!!! Regina Pacis 7-7 Ambrit
Ambrit was unprepared for the small field used against Regina Pacis Monteverde. Our 2 man defense could do nothing against the early shots to our goal and, by the end of the first half, Regina Pacis was leading by 6-0.
Only in the second half did Ambrit understand how to push through the small field to the opposition goal.
Elias was the first to score off a rebound shot from pietro 6-1. A great corner kick from Filippo saw Pietro make it 6-2 and not long after, a throw in again by Filippo to Pietro made it 6-3.
From defense Alessandro saw an opportunity to score and shot directly to the goal, 6-4. Ambrit pushed hard and another throw in from Filippo to Pietro brought the score to 6-5.
Regina Pacis, stunned by Ambrit's comeback, tried to score but Eric was making save after save. Pietro then shot from midfield for 6-6! And again... we are up 7-6!!
Right before the whistle, Regina Pacis was handed a penalty kick which Eric almost saved but the game ended 7-7.
Team - Pietro, Filippo, Joel, Giacomo, Elias, Alessandro, Ludovico, Eric
BOYS SOCCER: Ambrit G6 - Southlands 5-2
Ambrit had a great game Saturday against Souhlands.
Jacopo scored our first goal, taking a pass from Julian in midfield. A shot from Julian saw Sam get in for the rebound: 2-0.
Jacopo returned the favor to Julian with an assist for another great goal 3-0. Soon after, Julian took another assist from Alioune and scored the fourth.
We started the second half tired and Southlands was able to to score their first goal with fresh players. A distracted defense was again unprepared for the second goal from southlands 4-2. Great team work from Ambrit though as the midfield dropped back to help in defense, and then Jacopo dribbled through the midfield to find Julian for the shot. Ending the game 5-2!
TEAM: Max; Alessandro, Elias, Jacopo, Sam, Alioune, Julian

BOYS' FINAL: Lazio 4-1 Roma
Lazio confirmed their status as hot favourites for the 2017 Spring IM title with a 4-1 victory over derby rivals Roma.
Francesco, surprisingly deployed up front in the first half by a shrewd Thomas, justified his captain's selection with the opening goal. It was no more than Lazio deserved, having dominated the opening exchanges and they led the tie 1-0 at half time.
Roma, however, fought back early in the 2nd half.
Without Niccolo', and with Taro playing in defense, the burden of creating some chances up front fell on Edo J. After 5' he delivered, turning past his marker and squeezing the ball past Ale Z with the help of a deflection.
Now both sides had chances. Alioune shot high over the bar for Roma, Thomas did the same for Lazio. But Lapo and Player of the Tournament Daniel created more chances and better chances.
Daniel's pass from the right found Manfredi and he scored, having had two earlier shots saved by Ale.
Daniel then cut in from the right again and rifled a left-foot shot into the corner for 3-1 and 'Bomber' Carocci made it 4-1.
A well-contested final; a well-deserved win; compliments also to Thomas for his sporting decision to allow Ale to play in goal for Roma.

THIRD PLACE FINAL: Milan 3-0 Napoli
Napoli did all the early pressing but they rarely got a shot on target and, when they did, borrowed goalkeeper Alessandro got in the way.
Milan took the lead when Peter passed to Giuseppe and his shot was deflected past Louis.
Giuseppe broke down the left flank and shot past Louis for a second goal minutes later. He added a third before half time and might have had a fourth but his firmly-struck free kick ricocheted off the crossbar.
In the second half, Napoli tried to claw their way back into the game... but to no avail. Anthony was fouled in the area but Alex hit a poor penalty and Milan's goalkeeper remained unbeaten.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Giuseppe 7, Peter 4, Raphael 2, Federico 2, Lorenzo 2, Alex 2, Anthony 1, Jacopo 1

RISA League 20 May 2017: Ambrit finish stongly
Our first game this Saturday was with AOSR 'A'. Under heavy rain, both teams
found it hard to score. It was only when Lapo took a long shot off a rebound
from a corner kick and the ball bounced off an AOSR defender that e managed to go
1-0 up. Not long into the game, Alex took a similar shot from outside the
goal line for 2-0. For the rest of the game Ambrit played a tight defense,
not letting one goal through.
Ambrit vs St Georges 'A' was a challenging game. St George's managed to score 2 goals in the first half. Ambrit managed to push back the St George's
defense and Taro opened them up with a great pass to Sam for the goal. Ambrit had a few
more chances to score, especially with a shot from Pietu in midfield, but St George's managed
to get another goal with a corner kick right on the whistle. The match finished
3-1.
With two back-to-back games, Ambrit now found themselves playing against a well-rested
new school. New school's first goal found Ambrit's goalie unprepared when the
defense pressed up. Ambrit's chance to score came when Lapo shot a free kick but great defense and fast passing by New School had us down by 2
goals in the first half. Another free kick, this time by Alex, was our main hope to score but
the goalie knocked it out for a corner kick. New school managed to get another
goal in and Ambrit used their last strength to keep the scoreine down.
Our last game was against St George's 'B' - a game played with ease, almost like
a friendly match. Jerry from midfield dribbled through the defense line for a
great opening goal, followed by a goal by Alex when Elias crossed a great ball right to
his feet. Another goal from Jerry came when he took a rebound, forcing in and
disturbing the goalie on a corner kick. Our fourth goal was from Sam after
taking a great pass from Jerry in midfield. St George's only managed to score on
the last minute ending the game 4-1 for us.
TEAM: Max, Louis; Elias, Thomas, Peter, Pietu; Alex, Sam, Jerry, Lapo; Taro.
