The excellent All Blacks team suffered their second defeat in succesive games , a situiation that is opening up the Premier League to a pulsating run in.
2-0 in front the looked comfortable, but futsal can have many twists as teams tire and coaches change personnel and tactics.
Danny o'Hare inspired his team with a wonder goal, descvribed by seasoned watchers as 'the best goal they had ever seen at Second Avenue.' The ball left his left foot just inside the opposition half, Leigh Graves lives for shot stopping, on this occassion he saw the ball on its way out of the back stantion.
Ryan Smith then scored his guaranteed goal a game to level the score 2-2 at the break.
A Matt Bryant goal keeping error then let All Blacks to resume the lead 3-2.
Ben Smith then took over were his brother had left off, taking the score level and then dramitically Harvest was 4-3 in front. With a corner and 20 seconds left the venue lights was switched off, over which we have no control, but with so little time left the score stands. The games over the night had over run by 15 minutes, mainly because of stoppages retrieving lost footballs. We are promised a gate into the hospital grounds next week; this will resolve 75% of our problems.
In the other games Young's have only themselves to blame having
squandered a 5-0 half time lead to let Gunners back to 5-5! losing a
big lead once is unucky or bad tactics, to do it 2 weeks on the trot is
reckless.
Dean (Bartez) Gladwell had his moments again as Grimsby Catalonia
slipped to their 3rd defeat on the trot, 2 points gained out of the
last 15 has ripped their seson apart. Opponents Fulstow Rovers are
moving in the opposite direction without a loss in 4. Score Fulstow
3-1.
College and Shamrock shared the spoils 4-4 in the final game, both teams struggling of late.
