Eden Stallions 3 (Gartside 2, Wayne)
Fuji Xerox 2
Attendance: 3
A first up victory for the Stals at our home ground, Waikaraka Park (aka Shamford Bridge). Two 1st half Owen Gartside strikes, and a late 1st half Wayne (Casey’s mate) strike meant that the 2 long range efforts by their team were nullified and bettered. Despite a nail biting finish where they hit the crossbar, the Stals were the better team on the pitch, and only poor fitness meant the skills on offer were not displayed as they might have been in the second half.
In defence, Dave Kidd was extremely strong, especially in the air, and in general kept a tidy house leading a strong back 4. The 3 keepers used, Hamish Syrett, Bugs and Joe didn’t put a single foot wrong all day, even though Bugsy had forgotten his contacts.
The midfield/Striker combos fired well in the first half, but lacked the same incisiveness in the second stanza.
Unfortunately there was no ref, and their linesman didn’t know the rules, which contributed to some Miller/Robbie banter later in the game. Thanks to Owen and Rob who reffed in the second half. Although this effort was perhaps necessary after they forgot the flags, corner flags, nets and socks.
OG EDIT... Man of the Match - Dave Kidd... Commanding at the back and no fouls against. Remarkable.
