Game 5 12/5/07
SCORERS: Isaac, Harry, Jesse
The match started out fairly close, but PHD got the upper hand mid way through the first half with a great goal from Jesse off a pass from Zac. Alex was playing hard in the midfield, and showed his total commitment by intercepting a very fast ball which was headed for our goal. He stopped the ball, but suffered a minor injury and had to be taken from the field, to return some minutes later – great job Alex. Shortly after, Jesse placed a perfect corner kick, high and long, right into the goal box. Harry connected his right boot and slammed it into the goal. In the 2nd half, the backs were keeping the ball away from our half, and the midfielders, Callum, Callum and Nic, were pushing the ball forward. Luke and Arex helped pass the ball forward to Isaac. Isaac was tripped by an opponent player right in front of the goal, and was awarded a penalty. Isaac took his time, sized up the shot, then nearly kicked the ball inside out – scoring the 3rd goal of the match for PHD. Ryde district played hard, and put one goal in mid way through the match, but PHD came out the winners. Player of the week went to Alex Lucero for his total commitment shown during the game.
