Game 8 (24/5/08)
SCORERS : Alex Szanto, David Koleth, Andrew Meikle
And another win – 3-2 over Hills Hawks, except, this one wasn’t quite as easy as others have been. We got off to an excellent start when awarded a penalty after Andrew was tripped over in the box. Alex took the shot, cool calm and collected as always and the ball flew past their goalie into the back of the net Our next goal was an excellent pass by Brodie to David who took the opportunity to make it 2-0 at half time.
The second half goal was the header of the season! Only a few seconds after kick off Andrew leapt off the ground and struck the ball perfectly and very firmly into their goal – it was an outstanding move, wish we had a camera for that one. We were feeling good 3 nil up but the game was not over yet and Hills Hawks were a very determined team and they had a number of very strong players. Things started to heat up when they managed to score not one but two goals late into the second half. The fight was on to keep our winning position and the boys were under enormous pressure. But to their credit they held up and kept the opposition at bay. The whistle finally blew (seemed to take FOREVER) and the boys were ecstatic and relieved they had managed to keep the lead. Man of the match went to Brodie for a game well played and that superb pass. Well done once again guys!
