With only 10 players available, it was going to require a consistent and disciplined effort by the whole team and that is what they delivered. A passing move on the right allowed Vicky to have a clear shot and a goal was the result after just five minutes. The rest of the half was fairly even and the coach was pleased with how the back line remained steady and strong. It remained 1-nil at the break.
The second half saw Yass begin well and it wasn’t long until Ryan made it 2-nil. It is tough being a goalie as even a momentary lapse in concentration can concede a goal and that is what happened next. To the side’s credit, however, it seemed to be the catalyst that refocused them. Yass worked together and two goals to Tom, and another to Ryan, put the game beyond question.
The team has continued to improve each game this season and now look forward to an away game against Canberra Grammar on Saturday.
