Week 14 (5/7/08)
SCORERS : Andrew Meikle (2), David Koleth
Another win – this time 3-1 over Carlingford Redbacks. It was a fairly ordinary start to the first half with the Redbacks only able to field 10 players which should have made our job a lot easier, but it became apparent that this wasn’t going to be the case. We were down two players with Alex away and Daniel Lim having fractured his wrist (hope its not too serious Daniel). We also didn’t expect to see Daniel K. as he has been ill, but wild horses couldn’t keep him away and he played a great first half but then decided he had to call it quits as he wasn’t feeling the best. David scored the first goal of the match about half way into the first half which was pretty exciting, but as first halves go it was pretty uneventful.
After a short break and a change of goalie we hoped that the boys would be really revved up and out to win. The next goal came from Andrew off some great passes. Then the Redbacks struck and managed to sneak the ball into the net. One more goal from Andrew put us in a more comfortable position and we held the lead until full time. Clayton, as usual, had a rock solid game and really held up the back line today and was accordingly awarded Man of the Match for his efforts. Great job Clayton! So it was a good win even if it wasn’t the most exciting match we have ever had. As usual the team held together and came up with their 10th win out of 11 games played – not bad guys!
