Match Report: Masters Vs Bulleen Lions

Sunday 21st July 2013, Veneto Club, Little Italy.... ergh, i mean 'Bulleen'
Central Park 0 - Bulleen 11

Rangers wilt under the threat of 'cappings' and bedtime horse-heads....

Late changes to availability meant only 11 for the game with one "on the way". Stark contrast to Bulleen who had a 15 man squad.

With four of Wayne's mates filling in we had a surfeit in midfield - formation best described as fluid.

Despite an early goal we defended well for the first thirty minutes and if Rob had tucked away a good chance in the 20th minute we would have been all square.

But it was Bulleen's superior squad numbers that eventually told. As they brought on four fresh players we were overrun in the middle of the park and despite stellar resistance at the back led by Neil and John K with the gloves the floodgates eventually opened. 4-0 half time.

With players run ragged we dug deep and held on for the opening stanza of the second half.

As ever we chased a goal to get back in the game but were caught in waves on the counter - often outnumbered as Bulleen rotated their midfielders and were keen to join the goalfest.

The highlights were we stopped half a dozen goal bound shots the lowlights were the seven other quality strikes.

Lost 11-0
