First Grade – report by Colin Scully
A one minute silence for the ex
Coffs Tigers player Kodjo Adjassou was observed prior to the commencement of
the game.
Not sure how this affected the
players however this was not a pretty game to watch.
In the first half Storm were in
disarray due mainly to “rushing” their passes. We did not keep possession of
the football and left too many gaps across the pitch. Even our discipline was
thrown out the door. The score could have been anything in the first half yet
finished nil all at the break.
The second half was better but
was still scrappy. Both sides could have scored many goals and congratulations
to both keepers who made fine saves. Again our lack of control and possession
let us down as did our discipline. It was a frustrating game as play was
stopped far too often by the referee. Unfortunately our lads must understand that
the ref will not change his decision – arguing with the ref or making smart
comments simply costs us yellow cards and in this game it also cost a red card even
after the game had finished.
Storm did not score until 2
minutes from the finish of the game courtesy of a good through ball from Mykel
Watson which found
Well done to Marual Mangar who
stepped up from Reserves into the starting line up once again. Also congrats to
Daniel Anyrjong who played half a match in Reserves and then came on at the
break in First Grade – both lads played well.
