SAASL Sunday Division 2- League Round 9
Southern Knights ( 2 ) Brahma Lodge ( 1 )
Tom Foglia
Robert Marsden
Was a good hard fought game at O'Sullivan Beach today...some crunching tackles out there on the very inconsistent surface.
Brahma grabbed a 0-1 lead early after the wind conditions led to a messy clearance that the visitors pounced on.
Tom Foglia was on hand to run onto a Robert Marsden through ball to level the score 1-1 moments later.
A couple of good saves and a Brahma long range shot striking the cross-bar kept Knights on level terms.
Knights took the lead before half time when Robert Marsden flicked home from a well directed Matt Harrison free kick into the box.
Probably one of the best all-round team performance from Knights this season with everyone pitching in when it counted.
Hope the Brahma lad the kicked the bottom of our players boot is OK....heard it was most likely a break....good luck with the recovery.
Also was good to catch up with Mark Beck and Joe McGregor....best of luck to Brahma for the rest of the season...see you in the final round !

SAASL Sunday Division 2 Reserves - League Round 9
Southern Knights ( 1 ) Brahma Lodge ( 2 )
Dustin McMahon
As with the As, no score in the second half of the Reserves after Brahma came back from 0-1 down but were 1-2 in front by half time.
Not the best game to watch with a few unsavoury incidents on the park.
Knights pushed top placed and undefeated Brahma all day and should probably have come away with a share of the points.
Brahma Lodge equalise....1-1.
Brahma's BYO gazebo....looks like chaos in there !
