Anthony Rideout.
Southern Knights displayed good character to come back from a 1-2 deficit and down to 10 men to win against Beograd today.
Ben "Touch" Vidgeon stepped into the goalkeeping spot again with a great display after having played a full game in defense for Knights Reserves....some telling saves in the second half.
Former Knights keeper Juliano Campos also played well between the sticks for Beograd and kept them in the game in the first half.
Knights initially went behind when Beograd were awarded a penalty for handball to give the visitors a 0-1 lead.
Ben Jones scored an equaliser for Knights about 5 minutes later. Beograd subsequently regained their lead to 1-2 when they scored a well taken goal from what many thought may have been offside.
Steve Maguire levelled midway throught the second half from the penalty spot ( his 7th. successful spot kick for 2011).
Coach Ben Smith then brought on Paul Martin and Anthony Rideout to replace Richard Kemp and Scott Bradley.
Anthony Rideout scored an excellent goal (his first league goal for the Club ) to give Knights the lead with about 8 minutes to go.
Special thanks to Juliano and all the Beograd lads that came in for a beer or two and chips after the game...best of luck for the rest of the season....grab as many points of teams as you can

A huge turnaround for Knights Reserves from a poor 0-6 loss against Raptors to a 7-0 win against Beograd today...a great team effort and some nice football to watch from the sidelines.
Steve Fulton, Sacha Lovric and Alex Field were among the best for Knights Reserves.

A light-hearted moment for Jason Rusk.
