1st Team Results
1st Team 2 - 2 Old Salvatorians
Venue: Away
Referee:
A tough loss yesterday
With half of our regular starters missing we had a tough ask against a young and organised team. We had a scratch side together for a consecutive week and only one sub.
That said we weathered some early pressure and went ahead midway through the first half. We scored again early on in the 2nd half. A mistimed tackle gifted them a penalty to get back in the game soon after. This was the turning point in the game. They raised their effort and we stopped passing fluently and quickly. With only one sub - we were limited in substitute options. The youthful opposition made a number of changes (had 6 subs) and their freshness and fitness paid dividends.
We sustained two more injuries which we could not do anything about and the pressure from the opposition pushed us back and overran us eventually. Salvo's scored two good goals in the last 10 mins to win the match.
Frustrating result all round. With the fitness, desire and hunger from some the squad questionable. Second week in row now that we've been rolled over, by inferior teams, in the last 30 minutes.....can't really say anymore that that.
