A Grade medal winner Callum Ferguson was on show when Blue Lake upset Inter on Sunday.
Inter were up against Blue Lake with the opportunity to keep their chances of all three trophies alive but Blue Lake were hoping to get something out of a season where they have shown much promise.
The game started at a torrid pace in the midfield and both sides were trying to get an edge early. Inter had the first real chance when Christian Cella found himself in space but his shot was well saved by Andy Armandi. An Inter corner was well cleared by Justin McRostie and Tony Bueti hit the rebound well wide. The two backlines were on top with Bueti and Robbie Manfrin for Inter and Kyle Reiner and Blair Branstone for Blue Lake controlling the play. Blue Lake was temporarily down to ten men when Jacob Phillips was off with a blood nose and Inter took advantage of the extra man and forced three corners in a row. The Blues cleared these but when Dave Galloway latched onto a loose ball and unselfishly passed to Marcus Morony in space he calmly slotted the opening goal. Inter were on top now with Joel Redfern and Dante Bonner working well in the midfield but Blue Lake were making them earn everything they got. Morony and Cella were combining well and if not for a great last minute tackle by Reiner they would have been two up. The Blues were forced to make a change when Alex Domaschenz had to come off with an injury and was replaced by Michael Davison. The equaliser almost came after a good build up had Tristan Guess shooting into an empty net but somehow Manfrin managed to clear off the line. The equaliser did finally come just before half time when a Mitchell Thomson corner found Captain Bryce Strachan in the box who headed home.
The second half got away to a fiery start and tackles were starting to fly hard and fast. Walter Chatindiara was shown a yellow card when his late tackle forced Manfrin from the ground. The game was intense with both sides only able to create half chances and both Morony and Thomson saw their chances saved by the goal keepers. The game went Blue Lakes way when they received a penalty after Ricky McRobert infringed on Thomson and Tristan Guess made no mistake from the spot kick. The lead was short lived when three minutes later a long shot from Andrew Ielasi somehow managed to deceive everyone and bounced into the back of the net. Both teams were tiring but chances were coming with Thomson desperately diving at a long cross but his spectacular effort went wide, and then Redfern had a long range shot which flew just wide. In the 88th minute McRostie won the ball in the middle and found Strachan in space who ran at the defence and when he drew the defenders out he flicked the ball to Guess who calmly curled the ball over Reid to the delight of the Blue Lake crowd.
Inter threw everything at the Blues to try and take the match into extra time but the Blues were not going to let it slip and came away with a very impressive win.
