Firstly a summary of the weekend's events.
We
were formally advised by the FFV that Our Round 1 fixture was forfeited
by Clifton Hill. This sees us sharing the top of the ladder with a
nominal 3-0 result and three points.
Luckily we still managed a run against Highlanders who share Central Park with us.
A
free flowing game included a cameo from Lars2 who showed sparkling form
before a calf injury forced an early retirement. Both Batesy and Lars
terrorized the opposition but despite our domination we only led by a
quality Lars goal at half time. In defense Davey kept a clean sheet
dealing admirably with what little could be thrown at him.
After
the good Doctor pointed out that passing rather than belting the ball
might yield better results in the second half we decided to give it a
go.
Instant dividends with a couple of quick
goals from Klotzy (J) and Lars. As we looked like running amok Big Dave
decided he'd give Highlanders a chance by going off and we were down to
10 men.
Game stayed very even despite the next
four goals going to Highlanders - including dodgy penalty and freakish
bounce off a corner gifting two of them.
Undaunted,
Neil A said he was more than happy defending on his own and from where I
was standing in the Highlanders penalty area looked like he did a fine
job.
The Central Park spirit showed through
with a lovely run from Ben forcing a foul on the edge of the box. In
stepped Klotzy to put away the free kick in the top corner, 4-4 and the
final whistle.
Whilst we still need to gel
through the middle and let the ball do the work four quality goals and
some very good passages of play show we're not too far away.
This
Sunday we are at home to South Yarra who last year were one of the best
teams in the League so we'll need to be at our best.
Kick
off is 3pm at Central Park. Please can you let me know if you are
available. There were a couple of injuries on the weekend so we may need
extras.
