While playermanagercaptain enjoyed a long lie-in, the Stallions kicked off and within a minute Ben tested the keeper at his near post. Unfortunately, that was about as good as it got for the first half as for the second week running we were sluggish in just about every area of the pitch. Only Rob had an excuse for that after taking a ball to the face and going a bit Dallas Johnson.
Fuji took the lead when a Stallions corner was cleared long up the field to the striker who started from a few yards offside. There was no lino though so the goal stood.
The second half was much better. Stallions equalised when Miller headed home a corner and had a few half chances to score again but failed to properly test the keeper.
There were a few meaty challenges going in and their forwards were certainly throwing their weight about. Keggie almost pounded on one of their little players and Bonzo tested the shin pads of another with an ever so slightly mistimed death tackle.
In the end a draw was the fair result. Here's hoping for a proper ref the next time we play them as they weren't happy with our relaxed reffing at Waikaraka and there was some doubt over the impartiality of Bob Dylan today.
