Fast paced game today. Played at a frantic pace with both teams’ defences holding strong and not conceding for nearly 20-odd minutes. Reds had plenty of shots early on even though they were generally from distance. So it was probably fitting that the whites took the lead with possibly their first shot of the game.

Reds equalized almost immediately through Raminder after some slick passing upfront. This was followed by another lengthy period without a goal. The lack of goals belied the quality of the game however as both teams pressed high in defence and moved forward with purpose each time. Honda for the whites and Raminder for the reds in particular kept both teams ticking.

The next goal came via a penalty after elvin was barged by the whites’ gk. Thereafter the reds didn’t look back although the whites sporadically threatened to reel them in at 3-2 and then at 5-3.

Final score was 6-3 (or 6-4, apologies if I missed a goal for the whites). Great game all round.

Ball credit to Gerard please.

$2 credit to Senthil for a first report. $2 credit to Senthil and Jake as team selectors. $1 ball credit to Gerard.
