Discoveries 4 Futsal Tigers 6

Several games followed a pattern of one team opening a defendable gap and then being drawn back.

Discoveries shocked Futsal Tigers, taking a 3-0 lead early in the game to then go in at half time a goal behind.  They levelled to 4-4, and then lost to two late goals.

If all Discoveries team had followed the example of Liam Weatherill then the result could have tipped the other way.   Kobi Leyland bagged four for the Tigers.

Lions Pride 4 Little Devils 8

Little Devils opened up with three goals in three minutes, Lions Pride fought back to 3-3. 4-4 half time.

Second period Little Devils learnt from their lapses, stepped up their game and scored four without conceding.

Jack Boswell (LD) and Tom Balford (LP) were excellent.

Red Dragons 4 Futsal Panthers 5

When table toppers Futsal Panthers went 4-0 without reply a cricket score was anticipated, unbelievably goal by gaol Red Dragons pulled the game back to 3-4 and with minutes of the second half levelled.

The last third of the game was anyone’s, both keepers made great saves, both teams missed chances.

With the clock moving to 30 minutes Panthers draw blood, a fate Red Dragons did not deserve, their fight back had to be worth a point at least.

Negative of the game was the poor goal keeping distribution, maybe necessary for Dragons to stem a goal tide, but not good advertising for futsal when you have players on field capable of great passing and movement. 

Fusion 2 Elite 2

Both teams got locked into a cant lose – want lose midfield battle.  Creativity was stifled before it had time to blossom.   Neither side gave opposition time or space to pay.  This can happen in futsal, not all games are beautiful pass and move adverts for the game.  The score tells it all, a tight low scoring game.  Fusion had a free shot from the 10 metre mark saved after Elite conceded a fourth second half foul.
