Team Sofeene: 5
Redbacks: 0
Venue: Turf City
Two teams on the opposite ends of the scale. On one end, a well established team with great organization, skill and workrate. On the other side, a team who is in the process of rebuilding and still trying to find their feet in a new division. The end result? A comprehensive 5-0 victory for last year’s morning league champions.
To our credit, we managed to keep Team Sofeene at bay for most parts of the first half. They had a goal disallowed for offside. Continuous pressure paid off as they score the opener late in the half.
It was a different story in the second half as the Spiders conceded two quick penalties, allowing our opponents to surge ahead. Desperate to score goals to get ourselves back into the game, we left ourselves exposed at the back. Team Sofeene was devastating in attack as they carved out chance after chance, scoring 2 more goals to sink the Spiders.
We know now how hard life will be like in the Premier Division. This is what we are here for, to compete and test ourselves against the very best the AFL has to offer. This is a learning curve that the team needs to undergo in order to become even better. All we can do now is look to the next game and strive for improvements.
