Northern Storm Vs Maclean
Saturday 3/5/14
A very cold afternoon at
Maclean for a 3pm kickoff. The Storm and Maclean played some very good
football. Both teams positional play was good using their wingers to their
advantage. The defensive line from both teams in the first half was exceptional
with no goals being scored in the first half. However in the 3rd
minute of the second half Cameron Jones saw the Maclean goal keeper too far
forward and lobed a kick over his head to open up the scoring. Two minutes
later the number 7 for Maclean evened up the score with a great goal. The game
continued very evenly for the next 15 minutes before Paul Malith found the net
putting the storm ahead. Maclean not to be beaten scored their second goal in
the 35th minute of the second half making the score 2-2 at full time.
I believe we should have won this game, some minor lapses in defence let
Maclean back into the game. We need to learn when were in front to keep it and
concentrate on winning. Our man of the match goes to David Poverello. Well done
Dave and a great game. A special mention to Panya Manga for his first game with
the Storm welcome aboard Panya. Also thanks to Craig Caruana for helping at
training and Mitch Weeden for always being a helping backup.
