SAASL Sunday Division 2 - Round 15

Elizabeth Grove ( 2 ) Southern Knights ( 1 )
Reece Sinclair .................... Ben Jones
Lindsey Cooper

Southern Knights travelled to Dauntsey Road hoping to return home with 3 points to maintain their position at the top of Sunday Division 2.
Despite missing 4 usual starters, Jimmy Stewart, Aaron O'Toole, Tom Foglia out suspended and Jamie Faulkner back in the UK to attend a friend's wedding, Knights still fielded what was on paper, a strong starting lineup....coming in were Andy Alvino, Adam Djekic, Ben Vidgeon and Scott Bradley.
The game was a fairly balanced affair and looked like being a tight tussle for points but Knights seemed to be bypassing their own midfield moving forward, whereas Elizabeth Grove seem to string together some good midfield movements.
Southern Knights however, drew first blood courtesy of Ben Jones, on the end of a good build up, and went to the break with a 0-1 lead.
After half time the game was still fairly evenly balanced with both teams creating opportunities, Knights squandered several opportunities and some excellent saves from Stephen Maguire denied the Grove.
Knights lost another key player in Matt Harrison who damaged an ankle and soon after the Grove equalised from a well hit free kick.
The visitors missed a few more opportunities which they would rue when the experience of Grove's Brett Cutting managed to glean a penalty with 10 minutes to go. Knights still had several opportunities to level the game but it wasn't to be on the day.

*Many thanks to the Grove for the after game hospitality and feed....all the best 'til next we meet.

Reserves
Elizabeth Grove ( 0 ) Southern Knights ( 4 )
........................................Charlie Hollis 2
........................................Dustin McMahon
........................................Brendon Buck

Despite losing several players to the 1st Team and also being minus goalkeeper Phill Smith, Southern Knights put together a strong performance to win 0-4.
Despite carrying an injury I was on the verge of putting the gloves on one more time but suggested the more junior Tony Harrison might be a better option, as it proved to be.
James Randall had one of his best games to date and Charlie Hollis rediscovered his goal scoring touch with 2 goals, Dustin McMahon added another to his tally and Brendan Buck added Knights fourth.
With Brahma Lodge dropping 2 points, Knights win brings them within reach of catching the Reserve division leaders..but with a few tough rounds still to go.
