April 18th 2008 - Round 3: Unley vs Scotch

Round 3 Report
Unley vs Scotch
April 19th 2008

A Grade
Unley 1 - 3 Scotch

All in all a very convincing win all over the park. Big positives were our midfield dominance and structure, our physical presence, and our defensive effectiveness both on the ground and in the air, especially during the final 25 minutes when we gave away an unfortunate penalty and were down to 10 men and needed to shuffle the line-up. Our use of our wide two players and the work effort and dominance of Max and Chrissa was 1st class, as was the impact of Welly upfront. Ravo was strong between the sticks and our defensive line were very disciplined and effective on the ball. Impressive and seamless effort by the boys off of the bench also. Goals went to a deflected cracker from Fergie, from the head of Dunsy following a dazzling run from the back, and a blistering run from Welly with a great finish. Fantastic effort overall and a convincing win.

Overall a wonderful effort by our young team and was a flattering result to Unley, but it was defenitely a game we did not deserve to get any points from. A very close first half was then blown out of the water when Unley scored 3 goals in 10 minutes at the start of the 2nd half and the game was then very much up hill. It was very pleasing that for the final 30 minutes we did re-group and began to pass the ball around more effectively.

April 12th 2008 - Round 2: Sacred Heart vs Scotch

Round 2 Report
Sacred Heart vs Scotch
April 12th 2008

A Grade
Sacred Heart 2 - 0 Scotch

A disappointing result considering the game was very even for the 90 minutes. A stand-out performance again from Matty Duns, with Maxie and Dan Adams also doing very well down the left. We were unfortunately over-run too often in the midfield that in the end was the difference. A great positive was the 1st team debut of Matty and Chan who did very well off of the bench. Thanks also to Al for keeping unexpectedly! With a few more boys back next week hopefully we can re-capture our new offensive style.

Same story as last week.... had plenty of excellent chances but couldn't put one away! Very evenly matched game overall but SH took their chances much better. Is a little hard to find some consistency already with so many players changing throughout the team, but we will have to deal with this. Good to have Rooney get some km's through his leg and to see Patty get through a couple of full games without injury.

April 5th 2008 - Round 1: Uni Black vs Scotch

Round 1 Report:
University Black vs Scotch

April 5th 2008

A Grade:
Uni Black 4 - 7 Scotch

Generally very convincing performance with excellent attacking flair. A little disappointing to concede 4 goals considering we were 4-0 up within 25 minutes. Plenty to work on but a great way to kick off the year!! Notable mentions to Welly for smashing in 4 goals before being subbed in the 1st half, to Chris for grabbing a double and running havoc down the left, and to Matty Duns for being so dominant at the back.

Oh what could have been hey boys!! Overall a wonderful performance and strides above where we were at the end of last year. We just need to learn how to finish!! With 4 one-on-ones missed and at least 4 crossbar/posts hit we deserved more, especially considering the majority of these were in the first 30 minutes. Great fitness. Great games especially had by Pana, Ricky and Patty.
