Week 7 (30 May)
RESULT: Win 4-2
SCORERS: Ben Luker 1, Sanjeev Desai 1 Marshall Luke 2
Up against one of the leading teams in the comp the boys started confidently and after a brilliant run by Ben we were up 1 – 0. This lead was short lived when Pennant Hills struck back a few minutes later. The boy’s heads never went down for a minute which paid off as Marshall sprinted away from the opposition to score the 1st of his 2 goals for the half.
With the absence of Mic who was too busy playing his own re scheduled game, Mark Genovese spurred the boys on at half time to get back out and keep playing hard for the ball. A scare midway through the 2nd half to make it 3 – 2 gave Pennant Hills the momentum but the boys dug deep again and after a brilliant save by Sam to his left and on the line the momentum swung back.
After a few close shots towards the end of the game Sanjeev got onto a bobbling ball and scored his 1st goal for the club and the goal to secure the game. A great win boys and a very exciting game to watch.
This week’s player of the match went to Brayson who played his first game in the backs and made an immediate impact to the game with some great tackling and big kicks forward.
On a sad note we bid farewell to Bailey who is off overseas with his family next week. We wish them all the best and we will hold a spot open for Bailey when they return.
