Week 14 (18 July)
RESULT: Loss 1-2
SCORERS: Marshall Luke
With a number of our defensive players missing we were down from our usual 14 players to eleven plus our super sub Caden (U8).
The first half was an even affair with shots by both sides and strong defence from both teams. As the half went on the tension was building all around.
At half time with the scores locked at nil all we knew we had to come up with something special to get on top. Unfortunately Pennant Hills had the same idea and lobbed a ball from the side of the box to go 1 up.
The boy’s heads never went down and after another Pennant Hills raid our goalie Simon booted the ball out to Sanjeev on the right who laid on a beautiful pass for Marshall who took it all the way to even things up.
This was short lived with Pennant Hills lobbing another ball over the top to give them a 2 – 1 lead. With only a few more chances for both teams the game was kept tight once again by good defence which turned out to be the winner for Pennant Hills in the end. This was only our second loss of the season which I am sure the boys will bounce back from.
This week’s player of the match went to Simon for his great effort in goals.
