A fairly even game between these sides today, with both goals conceded by the respective sides whilst kicking into a fairly challenging breeze.
Southern Knights ( 3 ) Munno Para ( 5 )
A very entertaining game on what appeared to be an excellent playing surface at O’Sullivan Beach today, with all 8 goals coming in the first half mostly from well taken opportunities.
The second half could have produced many more goals but for some telling stops from both goalkeepers.
