It has been a mixed bag for Point Cook to start the FV state league 4 west season.
As the side starts to come together, the Jets have shown some positive signs as they’ve claimed some points in three of their four matches.
Coach Tome Petreski said for them they had felt it was a real mixed bag of results.
“The first against Keilor Wolves we were a bit unlucky not to walk away with three points,” he said.
“The Balmoral game was a fair result, it was a good contest and we walked away feeling confident and OK with the result.
“We managed to get a good win against Barwon to get things on track which is where we want to be heading into Easter.”
Petreski said they had confidence in their ability and what they could achieve with the first few weeks understanding where everyone else was sitting.
For the side, they know that they will get better as the season progresses.
“This team has been put together relatively short period of time,” he said. “We’re gelling together and getting to know each other.
“You can’t click your fingers and rush that. We are getting stronger every week and are building that combination.
Petreski said the group was just focusing on the process and that good results would come from that.
“We’re looking to bring the best of ourselves at training and in games and if we do that results will come.”
The Jets faced Lara United on Saturday, with Point Cook winning 3-2.
The Jets led 2-1 at half time, before scoring a third just after half time to increase the margin. Lara was able to get one goal back, but not a second.

Speaking before the game, Petreski said they are a good side and there was no room for complacency.
