Forward: Julien Tralongo, Luke Harris

(84mins) the third goal from the Blues came when a shot was taken, the ball hit the upright, deflected straight across the face of goal, and Bryce was there to finish it off, for the Blues third goal. Score 3-1

Coaches Comments:

The Sharks had their fair share of shots at goal, but Armandi was in great form denying the Sharks any goals for the day, taking many great saves.

We got beaten by a team that wanted to win, and never gave up for the whole game.

Even though we scored first, we need to keep playing for 90mins…and we didn’t do that.

We need to ensure that we control the game, not throw it away.

Next week the Sharks play at home again against Naracoorte.

The Sharks need the 3 points if they want to contest for a top 4 position and the end of the year.

Goal Scorers: Luke Harris

Best Players: H.Widdison, Luke Harris, Matthew Weistra

Naracoorte v Centrals

A grade

A grade put a great effort to keep final premiership contenders Centrals to 0-2 at half time. However with Jason an injury in the first and coming off at the start of the second, forcing an early interchange, Centrals quickly started adding to the total. A red card in the second half left Naracoorte with a man down and A lot of silly mistakes made by Naracoorte allowed centrals the win 9-0. A strong effort in the back lines by Luke S. Dom A. Jason G, .replaced by Peter B. and Under 17 Owen B. Midfield held strong under a lot of pressure with Willy H. and Jono A. in the middle, And Akbari W. who was replaced by Salvatore P. and Steve M. on the wings. Up front were Sky P and Antonio in his debut. The side show promise in the first half however the second seemed too much for them and they succumbed to the pressure.

B Grade

Centrals B Grade had a distinct advantage that was obvious early. Naracoorte was slightly better off with 9 seniors and 3 juniors starting on the pitch but with injuries again it was hard task. The team was strong in spirit never giving up, B Grade captain Kevan Addicott was left with almost no voice after the game showing the intensity of the game. The second half bought on another injury with 3 seniors getting subbed for juniors. The Juniors played fantastic with Luke Marshall getting Best on ground. The final score was 14-0 but a good game to the team.

Under 17s

With the strongest side that we have seen at Naracoorte the under 17's played extremely well. However Centrals proved too tough for them. For the first time this year Naracoorte was kept goalless. Strong games by everyone on the side with a special mention to the Michael Bartlett and Andrew Munro who played while still feeling pretty unwell from a week of illness Centrals was able to maintain high pressure on the united defence ending in a 7-0 victory for centrals. Well done to the players that played 2 games.
