Wyndham celebrated its first seniors and reserves winning double at the weekend, emerging from two hard-fought games against Surfside Waves with all six points in Football Victoria state league 5 west.
The senior team picked up its first victory of the campaign with a rousing second-half display in Ocean Grove to win 4-1.
Goalkeeper Mike Bowen did well to save a first-half penalty as Wyndham dominated possession for long periods.
A blocked clearance by Tristan Cabrera presented Pablu Bani with a simple finish for the opener.
The home team pulled a goal back early in the second-half and the game began to open up more.
Isaac Diliga, who was excellent in centre midfield, put Wyndham ahead before a scrambled finish from substitue Beh Reh after a goal mouth scramble.
Thaw Wah curled a magnificent fourth into the top corner to complete the win for Wyndham.
In an intense and sometimes niggly game, the reserves brushed off last week’s 3-2 reversal to Barwon by holding firm to record their second clean sheet of the season in a 2-0 win.
Tricky winger Poe Soe took his total to four for the season, with a tidy finish, and his fellow winger Beh Sey netted in the second half to secure the points for the visitors.
Isaac Kenyi impressed up top, in place of Adam Mills in the second half, while the Wyndham defence – comprising Nelson Gonda, Joshua Swanwick, Niall Boyle and Mike Bowen – did well to repel lots of late sustained pressure from the hosts.
The club’s metro side was unlucky to go down 2-1 to Lalor United Senior FC in Thomastown on Sunday.
Wyndham’s state league sides welcome Deakin University to its home ground, Victorian University, on Saturday.
Old Trinity Grammarians SC make the trip to Werribee to face the metros on Sunday.
