Bulleen has always been a strong team when we've played them in the past and today was no exception. However a few things have changed for our team this year, and that is, our kids are a year older than the last time we played Bulleen and our kids have a year's more experience under their belts. Bulleen has noticed that the days of beating us easily are over.
This year's Stallions are coalescing into a strong group that plays in a TEAM form as they didn't last year because of their lack of experience.
Ben, playing in goals for the whole game, showed some fantastic skills that saved 5 goals from being scored in the first half. He was all over the ball as the soaking goal keeper's jersey will attest to.
While playing in defence, James, Filip and Adam were amazing. Rarely did a ball come at them that they couldn't stop with just one kick.
Attackers,Vanessa, Jared, Filip and Josh D did a great job of keeping the ball mostly in the other half of the field with valuable help from the mid fielders Adrian, Gab, Zach, Josh M and Alex. These players kept the ball away from our goals, making it harder for Bulleen to keep possession.
Three goals were tantillisingly close for us but, were pipped at the post, literally missing the goal by hitting one of the side posts.
Bulleen's goal was scoerd in the dying minutes of the game, and was unfortunate but, no refection on our team's performance.
Even though they miss out on their pizza treat this week, the Stallions deserve much kudos for their fantastic effort.
Well done Stallions!!
