Salisbury Florina ( 2 ) Southern Knights ( 3 ) ...with pics

SAASL SUNDAY PREMIER DIVISION - LEAGUE ROUND 10 - June 29 2014
Salisbury Florina ( 2 ) Southern Knights ( 3 )
...........................................Tom Foglia
...........................................Ross McNab
...........................................Jamie Faulkner

Southern Knights - Stephen Maguire (GK), Aaron O'Toole, Jamie Faulkner, Shaun Papworth , Ben Jones, Sam Jones, Matthew Harrison
Tom Foglia, Ross McNab, Scott Bradley, Robert Marsden....(Subs) Iain Stewart, Dustin McMahon, Justin Moule, Zak Crawford.


Southern Knights travelled to their not so happy hunting ground Underdown Park for the second week in a row, this time up against Salisbury Florina.
(We'll be back again in 2 weeks for the 3rd. Round Cup tie.)
Both teams started strongly but it was Florina who took the lead when they slotted the ball passed Stephen Maguire at around the 10 minute mark.
Hard working Tom Foglia was repaid for his efforts when he broke through to balance the game at 1-1 around the 20th. minute with his fourth goal of the season.
A few minutes later a hapless Shaun Papworth was unfortunate to deflect the ball into his own net from one of many Florina long throws.
As the first half neared a close Aaron O'Toole went on a driving run passed several Florina players and was upended in the penalty area and referee Stephen Craggs had no hesitation pointing to the spot.
Jamie Faulkner stepped up and slotted home the spot kick to level the game at 2-2 before half time.
About 10 minutes into the second half Knights went in front 2-3 when Ross McNab pounced on Jamie Faulkner's free kick and nudged the ball into Florina's goal from close range.
Both sides had opportunity to add further to the score, but it was a save by Stephen Maguire with minutes to go that made certain Knights left wit a vital 3 points.

*Thanks to Florina for the nice spread of food, very much appreciated before the long drive home

A well placed Jamie Faulkner free kick provides an opportunity for Ross McNab to force the ball into Florina's net...2-3 to Knights.

RESERVES
Salisbury Florina ( 2 ) Southern Knights ( 1 )
...........................................Allan Annich

Southern Knights - Matthew Harrison (GK), James Randall, Iain Stewart, Tony Harrison, Justin Moule, Andre Rickers, Steve Doyle,
Dustin McMahon, Alan Annich, Zak Crawford, Anthony Michael.... (Subs) Jimmy Lipczyk, Alex Saleh, Nick Swann (RGK).


Another frustrating encounter for Southern Knights Reserves as they failed to capitalise on their opportunities.
Florina, despite an initial save, slotted the rebound passed fill in keeper Matt Harrison and went ahead midway through the first half and led 1-0 at half time.
After the break Knights continually found themselves pushing into offside position until Allan Annich eventually equalised when put through by Anthony Micheal.
Allan Annich looked like posting a second goal only to see his looping header deflect off the crossbar and Florina also struck the Knights upright.
With about 10 minutes to go Florina pounced on a headed clearance from Andre Rickers an neatly chipped over advancing Nick Swann in Knights goal :x .

Anthony Micheal in disbelief with his 'miss of the season'...

Despite an initial good save Matthew Harrison is beaten and Florina go a goal up 1-0.

Recent signing Stevie Doyle improving with each outing...
