Grand Final (22 Aug)
RESULT: Win 2-1
SCORERS: Daniel Wilkins 1, Samuel Benson 1
What a wonderful end to a really great season! The team played a fantastic game to beat the premiers of our division, Putney Rangers. The team really played well together and were wonderfully supported by the skills of 3 U8 replacement players; Luc Belcastro, William Dearden and Joe Patmore, many thanks to them and their contribution to our win today. Once more, credit is due to our wonderful goal-keeper, Ben Stroud, who helped us fend off Putney’s many valiant efforts to score. The game was quite physical and kept everyone on their toes, with great efforts by Jeremy Bingham, Benjamin Mendoza, Preston Steward and Christopher Stroud chasing down the ball. Our defenders Alexandra Behn and Abigail Zeckendorf faced tough competition and were great. The first goal was scored by Daniel Wilkins and gave the whole team a great boost to morale. The winning goal was deservedly scored by Samuel Benson after a rather rough tackle and sailed into the top of the goals, giving Pacific Hills Dural a well-deserved win against a fierce opponent..
