Match against Maitland: a sensational draw
In March 2024, New Lambton hosted Maitland in the first round of the Northern NSW Premier League. Maitland, an experienced playoff contender, led the table with a series of victories, scoring 12 goals in their first three games. New Lambton, on the other hand, had started the season poorly, losing key players and winning only one game in the preseason.
The visitors controlled the early stages of the match, opening the scoring in the 15th minute with a long-range strike from midfielder Matt Thompson, exploiting the hosts' weak defence on the flanks. New Lambton responded in the 32nd minute when forward James Verhoeven finished off a cross after a counterattack, winning the aerial battle against the defender.
Maitland dominated in the second half, firing 14 shots on goal, but home goalkeeper Kyle Smith saved a penalty in the 67th minute to preserve the draw. The final whistle recorded a 1-1 draw. This result came as a surprise: the odds for a draw were over 4.0, which brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars in single bets.
Victory over Adamstown Rosebuds: the underdog's breakthrough
August 2024 was marked by New Lambton's home game against Adamstown, a mid-table team with a strong attack. The visitors were on a four-game winning streak, scoring 10 goals, and were considered favourites with a -1.5 handicap. New Lambton, on the other hand, had only one win all season and a defence that conceded an average of 2.5 goals per game.
The game started tensely: in the 8th minute, Adamstown took the lead after a mistake by the home goalkeeper, when striker Ethan Fox converted a one-on-one chance. New Lambton regrouped, increasing the pressure in midfield, and equalised in the 25th minute when midfielder Liam Harris scored from 20 metres out, taking advantage of a rebound.
In the second half, the hosts took the initiative: in the 55th minute, Verhoeven scored his second goal, beating two defenders in the penalty area. Adamstown responded in the 72nd minute, but Harris' late goal in the 88th minute made it 3-2. This victory, with high odds of around 6.0, was one of the most profitable.
Draw with Lambton Jaffas: defence versus attack
In May 2024, league leaders Lambton Jaffas, the team with the best attack (28 goals in 12 games) and no away defeats, came to Regent Park. New Lambton, fighting to avoid relegation, had a run of five defeats and key players out injured. The odds on the visitors winning were as high as 1.3, making bets on the home side attractive for risk-takers.
The match began with pressure from Lambton: in the 10th minute, they scored from a corner when defender Mark Stevens headed in the cross. New Lambton responded in the 28th minute when Verhoeven took advantage of a mistake by the visitors' goalkeeper, intercepting the ball on the rebound. In the second half, Lambton had 18 shots, but the home side's defence, led by captain Shane Price, held firm: in the 60th minute, Smith saved a point-blank shot, and in the 85th minute, he saved a corner. The 1-1 result was a shock, with the odds for a draw above 5.0.
Victory at Broadmeadow Magic: a late triumph
In June 2024, New Lambton travelled to Broadmeadow Magic, the previous season's champions with a seven-game winning streak. The visitors led the league, scoring three goals per game, while the hosts: wait, this was an away game for New Lambton as the underdogs. The match at Broadmeadow Stadium began with a goal for the hosts in the 5th minute — a quick counterattack finished by striker Jack Conroy.
New Lambton held on, but conceded a second from the penalty spot in the 35th minute. Everything changed in the second half: Harris reduced the deficit with a long-range shot in the 52nd minute, and Verhoeven equalised in the 78th minute, winning a duel with the goalkeeper. In the 90+3rd minute, the hosts received a red card for a second warning, and New Lambton scored the winning goal — Smith joined in on a set piece, heading the ball into the net. 3-2 — a sensation with odds of 8.0.
