Westnam United

Today was a disappointing outing for our Amateur squad, with losses against both the Reserves and First Team. While the results were not what we were aiming for, they highlighted areas that require improvement as we continue to develop as a group.

Individual errors once again proved costly, leading directly to goals conceded and impacting our confidence on the field. When mistakes occur, they can affect not only our mindset but also our ability to make positive decisions under pressure. Maintaining composure and staying focused throughout the game remains an important area for growth.

Football is a game of continuous learning, and setbacks provide valuable opportunities to reflect and improve. Every player should take time to honestly assess their performance, identify areas where they can do better, and use those lessons moving forward.

The true measure of a team is not how it performs when things are going well, but how it responds to adversity. Resilience will be key as we prepare for next week's challenge against Mindarie. We have an opportunity to regroup, work hard at training, and come back stronger together.

The focus now is on learning from today's performance, supporting one another, and ensuring we are ready to compete with greater determination and discipline next week.

🔴 AMATEUR ROUND 7 🔴

Our Starting XI’s to take on Forrestfield United FC!

Two important games, one goal.

🕐 Reserves KO - 1PM
🕒 First team KO - 3PM
📍Shelvock Park, Koondoola

Although the result did not go our way last week against Amateur Premier Kingsley Westside, our Amateur First team will be looking to bounce back against Forrestfield United this weekend.

Our Reserves return to action after a week off and will be eager to make amends following their defeat away to Belmont.

Get down and support the boys!

In extremely challenging weather conditions, the Westnam First Team faced Premier Division outfit Kingsley Westside in the Round of 16 of the Cup. Coming up against a side two divisions above them, our boys knew they would need to be at their very best—and they certainly delivered.

From the opening whistle, Westnam showed great determination, discipline, and character, matching their higher-ranked opponents in every area of the game. Despite the difficult conditions, both teams produced an entertaining contest, with our lads displaying resilience and teamwork throughout the 120 minutes.

After a hard-fought battle, and goals to Andrew Khasuwan and Steve Kunej the scores remained locked at 2–2, forcing the match into a penalty shootout. Unfortunately, luck was not on our side, and we were unable to convert enough of our spot kicks to progress to the quarter-finals.

While the result was disappointing, there is plenty for the team to be proud of. Coach Rafiq praised the players for their outstanding effort, commitment, and attitude, highlighting the way they represented the club with respect, passion, and excellent sportsmanship. To take a Premier Division side all the way to penalties is a testament to the quality and character within this group.

The cup journey may have come to an end, but the performance has given the squad plenty of confidence moving forward. Attention now turns back to league action as we prepare for Round 7, where we will take on Forrestfield United. The team will be eager to build on today's performance and continue their positive momentum in the league campaign.

Well done to all players, coaches, and supporters who braved the conditions and represented Westnam with pride.

On behalf of Westnam United Soccer Club and the local community of South Ward in the City of Wanneroo would like to thanks Meredith Hammat MLA and the WA State Government for commitment to delivering the Project in 2026/27 financial year. Also thanks the City of Wanneroo, Councillor James Rowe JP - City of Wanneroo and Cr Eman Seif JP - City of Wanneroo for fast tracking this project. 👏👏👏

Tough day at the office for both sides this weekend, with two defeats against a strong Belmont outfit. While there were plenty of positives in patches, costly mistakes ultimately proved the difference and highlighted areas where we need to improve — particularly around decision-making under pressure.

The first team now turns its attention to the cup round, where a big challenge awaits against Prem side Kingsley Westside. To compete strongly, the group will need to minimise errors, stay disciplined, and rise to the physical and tactical demands of the contest.

The ressies now get a well-earned break and will hopefully return refreshed and ready to go for Round 7 against Forrestfield.

Plenty to work on, but also plenty of opportunities ahead.
