(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
