Semi Final Round 1 (2/8/08)
SCORERS: Alex Szanto, Andrew Meikle
Welcome back team – another win - this time 2-0 over West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook. Great to have all the team back together again and looking as strong as ever. We had a tough match on our hands today with the opposition putting on a very strong show. They were very determined to win, they obviously wanted a shot at the Grand Final, but…. so did we!
Time was dragging on and we were well into the second half with not a goal in sight – you could feel the tension in the air – were we going to go down to a draw or even worse, a loss? Finally and to everyone’s relief Alex came up with the goods – it didn’t look like it was going to go in but it bounced over their goalie’s head and in it went – you could hear the crowd roar clear across Dural, it was THE BEST goal and boy did we need it. A few minutes later Andrew picked up the ball and put our second one in the corner of the net. Fantastic job guys, but next time we REALLY would appreciate it if you don’t wait so long to score, your poor manager and coach were having some very, shall we say, “anxious moments” as were most of the parents!! Once again the better team prevailed and well done to Callum who earned Man of the Match for a very solid and well played match.
