Munno Para ( 0 ) Southern Knights ( 4 )
Knights scorers - Tony Micallef (2), Matty Harrison, Sandy Neary

Southern Knights journeyed to my old neck of the woods to hopefully offset their 3-5 home defeat at the hands of Munno Para earlier in the season.
Both teams started somewhat tentatively, pushing the ball around and stringing some excellent passes together.
The ground was quite firm but plays true and eventually Knights drew first blood midway through the first half.
Munno Para's keeper was able to keep out a firmly hit shot only to see Tony Micallef latch on to the ball and calmly put the ball into the back of the net.
Munno Para rebounded well and brought out a couple of excellent saves from Mark Kay in the Knights goal.
Despite some early confusion at the back for Knights, Matt Harrison, Lee White, Tom Jolly and Steve Maguire began to gel and work the ball out to Ben Jones, Scott Bradley and Lyndon Parry.
Near the end of the first half Sandy Neary escaped the Munno Para defence only to be felled in the box but David Mooney shaved the outside of the upright with the ensuing penalty.
Knights had a few more scares as the ball was driven across the face of goal several time and Ben Jones cleared off the line and went to the break with a 0-1 lead.
After the break Knights looked refreshed and more determined and soon Tony Micallef had his second goal for the game to give Knights a 0-2 lead.
Matty Harrison had been dominant in the air all day and soon this dominance paid dividends as he rose above the pack to head home to give the visitors a 0-3 lead.
David Mooney was knocked out briefly in a heading duel and in the process also suffered a leg injury and was replaced by Matt Daughtry.
Late in the second half Ben Jones broke through the opposition's defence but was fouled by Paras keeper who was subsequently red carded.
Sandy Neary added the fourth for Southern Knights and the travellers savoured their long journey to take all three points

Munno Para tested Knights early but lacked the final touch they had when they met earlier in the season.

Image
Meanwhile Munno Paras resolve was tested by Knights.

Lee White, Matty Harrison and Tom Jolly began to gel....Steve McManus with Club sponsors The Red Lion Hotel, my Grandads old drinking holewhen in Australia.

The ball breaks free from Munno Para's keeper and Tony Micallef runs in to slot the ball home.

Referee Dave Kennewell reaches for his notebook as Tony Micallef celebrates scoring the opening goal.

Image Image
Matty Harrison was quite dominant in the air and cleared Knights defensive lines on many occasions.

Image Image
Munno Para were unable to get on the end of many of their attacking moves.

Image

Image
Up close and personal, Sandy Neary gets some close attention from Munno Para's no.3.

Munno Para's keeper gathers well under pressure from David Mooney.

Much to the relief of Munno Para's kleeper, David Mooney's penalty shaves the outside of the upright !

Image Image
Scott Bradley held off Munno Para well all day.....David Mooney is helped from the ground by trainer Mick Giblin and a friendly Munno Parian.

Matt Daughtry follows in as Tony Micallef's second goal for the day rolls home.

Benny Jones chases Tony Micallef as he acknowledges the well wishes of his new-found Munno Para admirers.

Meanwhile at the other end of the park, Matty Harrison (6) celebrates after heading home Knights 3rd goal.

An enforced change of keepers for Munno Para.

Knights 4th goal arrives courtesy of a fine Sandy Neary finish.

Tony Micallef rues an opportunity to secure his hat-trick......all over bar the shouting...0-4 to Knights.

ImageImage
The shouting.......all over.

I think this was Munno Para's second goal to give them a 2-1 lead.

Munno Para take a 3-1 lead as a shot takes a cruel deflectin passed Ben "Touch" Vidgeon in Knights goal.

Great pics mate. Good wrap of the A's too, pretty spot on. I was a fair way away from the keeper send off incident, but from where I was it looked like he won the ball and the ball cannoned into the forward and then he went over as he passed him. Not that it mattered to the result too much of this one (but it will mean we will have Dave in goals for the B's again :wink: ).

Sorry I couldn't hang around for a beer, it had been a long day after spending the morning at the Port Adelaide markets.
The clubrooms and ground are in a great setting and with housing developments opening up around you, it augurs well for Munno Para's future.
