Round 11
Northern
Storm vs. Urunga Raiders
A cold windy
afternoon at Korora today with arch rivals the Storm and Urunga facing off. The
game started with both teams playing good foot ball the positional play and
passing skill from both teams was great. However the Storm was under pressure
when we lost two strike players with injuries early in the first half. Urunga
were first to score with a goal in the 23rd minute by Luke Pomroy
from a free kick caused by a sloppy slide tackle in the box. The storm bounced
back 1 minute later with Enoch Marc scoring after some fantastic team passing.
The game progressed and Urunga found the net again in the 36th
minute with Emar Foran scoring a good goal. I believe Emar was Urunga’s best
player to day so we will need to keep a close watch on him. The Storm kept their
heads up wanting to win this game and in the 43rd minute Keiran
Clerke without the dread locks scores a great header to level the score 2 all
at half time.
The second
half began and Urunga kept the pressure on the Storm. We knew it was going to
be a tough half with no substitutes to draw from. However there were no goals
scored in the second half and the boys stood up to keep the game at 2 all at
full time. It was a game we could have won lads if we can get some of you guys
to pass the ball instead of holding it too long and wanting to be the star of
the game all the time. Some of our boys need to understand this is a team game.
It’s the team that wins games not individuals. Our man of the match this week
is Enoch Marc well done mate. Thanks this week to the Storm and Urunga
supporters it was a great day and hope to see you all at our next game.
