SCORERS : David Koleth, Andrew Meikle, Own goal (Alex Santo)
And another win 3-1 (should have been 4 but we were disallowed the last goal) over West Ryde Rovers who turned out to be quite a strong team and kept our team (and parents) under a lot of pressure today. They had two VERY BIG players who would have easily been at home on an under 16 team and towered over our boys and made it a bit tricky for the not so tall members of our team. But, nonetheless we managed a sound win with David (as usual) putting in the first goal, this was then followed by an own goal which came off one of Alex’s corners, with a scuffle in front of their goal the ball somehow found the boot of a WRR player who put it in the net for us. A third goal from Andrew saw us up 3 nil at half time, but we still had to keep on our toes.
Mitchell was replaced by Matt Burke as goalie in the second half and both played really well. Unfortunately WRR took the opportunity to score a goal making it 3-1. A little later on Andrew scored again (which didn’t look offside at all- not to us anyway) but it was disallowed by the ref. It was a tough second half and with Eden unable to continue playing due to a sore foot and Zechariah not with us, it was hard work for our boys to make sure WRR didn’t score any more goals which they were very much threatening to do. Anyway, in the end it was a great win with heaps of effort from Daniel K. who was awarded Man of the Match – well done Daniel.
