SAASL SUNDAY PREMIER DIVISION - LEAGUE ROUND 2

Louis Brain 2
Angus Ducker
Paul Ebomo
Carlos Portillo
Simon Catanzaro
Chris Bradley T.O.G.
These are the match summaries that you hate writing... To put it in layman's terms....Parafield Gardens tore Southern Knights a new one.
Despite a reasonable start from Southern Knights resulting in several close attacking chances, Parafield soon forced the visitors onto the back foot
leading to an early own goal from a ball driven hard and low across the face of goal that was deflected in by a hapless Chris Bradley.
Parafield then broke through Knights defence twice more before going to the half time break with a 3-0 lead.
After the break Gardens just steamrolled the visitors catching them out as they pushed forward with a series of well taken goals....goal of the day would
have to go to Louis Brain's 25 metre volley from a centred cross..
The pace of Angelo Arambatzis and Angus Ducker and control of the midfield through Brain, Ebomo and Catanzaro just exposed a somewhat deficient Knights side.
Hopefully, after the Easter break, with players gaining some insight into the Sunday Premier Division expectations and other returning and recovering from
injury, Knights can redeem some of the pride that took a hiding at Parafield.
*Just heard that Anthony Stam, Gardens Championship and Cup winning keeper from last year and 2011 has suffered a fibula break whilst playing for Raiders this weekend.
Saw Anthony in the Gardens clubrooms after our game...champion player and person, a key player in some of Gardens recent successes.
Wishing Anthony a speedy recovery and return to full mobility.

Reserves
Parafield Gardens ( 4 ) Southern Knights ( 2 )
............................................ Josh Foglia
............................................ Justin Moule
Southern Knights Reserves took the game right up to Parafield Gardens but eventually ran out of man power and fitness.
Knight took the lead with a goal from Josh Foglia who sent a bal wide on the right ball looping over Matt Marsden into the left side of the Gardens goal.
Anthony Micheal was offered very little protection from the referee as he mesmerised Gardens defenders who resorted to bringing him down repeatedly.
Gardens levelled the game at 1-1 quite quickly and it travelled end to end but remained at 1-1 up to half time.
After the break Gardens looked a little more composed but Justin Moule headed Knights to a 1-2 lead with about 15 minutes to go.
Knights were forced into substitutions through injury and first team requirements and Gardens found an equaliser and followed up quickly with two more goals to finish up 4-2 winners.
Josh Foglia gives Knights an early lead 0-1.
