Midwest Soccer Association: Chapman Athletic mark their third annual Think Mental Health Round
But what the round lacked in quantity, it made up for in quality — and heart.
In the reserves, Abrolhos claimed a 4–1 win over Chapman Athletic in a match filled with passion. Regan Ford and Scotty Dewers were on target for Abrolhos, with two own goals completing their tally. Caleb Swart grabbed one for Chapman.
Olympic's reserves continued their strong form, securing a 3–1 win over Rovers. Michael Wheeldon, Kaleb Warry, and Daniel Melling all found the net for Olympic, while Justin Lazenby scored the sole goal for Rovers.
The men's league match between Olympic and Rovers saw Olympic storm home 5–0. Daniel Lennard led the charge with a brace, supported by goals from Dave Newton, Beau Bradley, and Chevy O'Brien.
The Chapman versus Abrolhos men's league match was postponed and will now be played this Wednesday night under lights at Alexander Park.
Off the field, Chapman Athletic marked their third annual Think Mental Health Round during the men's reserves match.
'Raising awareness for this cause is very close to our club's community, and having the players wear armbands with handwritten messages of advice, quotes and support showed their commitment to continue advocating for mental health,' said club representative Emma Streich.
'Football West has been very active in this in the metropolitan area, so for us to bring it to our regional town has been a collaborative effort.'
The Midwest Soccer Association also confirmed that Geraldton will send two representative squads to the inaugural Football West Regional Senior Country Week. The men's team will be led by Frank Deluca, while the women's side will be coached by Vanessa Gould.
With the women's league back in action from Monday and representative honours up for grabs, the season is heating up both on and off the pitch.

New infrastructure boss keen to get digging at Victoria Park
Construction of Brisbane's new Olympic stadium could begin earlier than first thought, with the man tasked with delivering Games infrastructure keen to get excavators into Victoria Park sooner rather than later. Simon Crooks, who previously headed the Queen's Wharf construction for Destination Brisbane, was announced as the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority's new chief executive on Wednesday, with a starting date of August 1. And the former project manager was keen to get shovels in the ground as soon as possible. Crooks said work could start on the Olympic stadium in Victoria Park well before procurement, to accelerate the process once the stadium's location was determined. Loading 'There's about a 300,000 cubic metre mass fill – that can be done early and done quickly,' he said. 'That allows the time procurement for the main stadium, and if there are things that need to be adjusted, you'll get that done in the detailed excavation.' Crooks would not put a firm date on when the works would begin. 'I will know once I've got in the seat and had a look at it – but my view is, you try and procure all of these things early and get those risks out of it,' he said.
