CSL - Game 6 - 28 May 2011

Uni Whites A 0 - 2 Scotch A (Chris, Gammy)

Following on from a disappointing loss against a very beatable Immanuel side, the A’s were up against one of the biggest improvers over the last couple of seasons, Uni Whites. The game started very well for the Scotchies, with Chris and Lee linking well with both Gammy and Dave up front and the Whites having little possession. This dominance paid off after about 10minutes when Chris latched on to a well flighted Timmy corner to head past the Whites distraught keeper. The Uni boys then rallied and fought their way back into the match with several half chances at either end.

The second half saw Lee and Chris maintain their midfield dominance and both sides had several good chances to score. The second breakthrough came midway through the second half, when a low left footed cross from Toby found Gammy who finished neatly at the near post. James shone in goals in his first game for the Scotchies, with several sharp reflex saves and a courageous headed clearance. A well deserved win after several closely fought losses.

 Uni Whites B 3 - 2 Scotch B (Lachy, Catton)

After a spirited 0-0 draw with Immanuel the week before, the Scotch B’s were looking for their first win of the season against the second bottom placed side Uni Whites. The first half was a fairly even affair, with both teams having good chances. The opening goal went to an unmarked Uni White attacker at the near post, before Lachy won and converted a great free-kick to level the scores at half time. The Whites took the lead again in the second half, following a period of dominance. The goal kick-started the Scotchies and we pushed forward with more intensity. A mesmerising Catton run through 3 defenders at the top of the box left him with a simple finish to level the game at 2 – 2. A great flick-on header by Jarod nestled in the net late in the second half, but was disallowed by the referee for no apparent reason. A late break by the Whites resulted in last minute winner and devastation for the battling B’s.

Cam, Adam and Catton had fantastic games in the midfield, with Haydn involved in many enterprising runs forward (from central defence, no less). A narrow loss that left a bitter taste in the mouth after the wrongfully disallowed goal minutes from time.
