50 seconds away from finals

In what was a moral boosting effort the Met 2 East boys pushed the 2nd placed MCC to the second 1-0 loss of the season at Meblourne High on Saturday afternoon. In a desperate and fighting display the panthers were sensational appart from the first minute when one of MCC key strikers hit a fantastic goal after an early turnover.

Aidy played his best game of the year at fullback as Matrix kept us in the hunt all day with some sensational keeping. Matty Steffens, Jeremy Nethercott and Shaun Gillespie all worked first half corners which unfortunately we could not convert. Scott Jolly’s, Addison Hunt’s and Adam Drennan’s pressure on MCC out of defense was also sensational making it very difficult all day for them to move freely through the midfield.

In the last 10 minutes both teams were out of legs as the boys fought hard to get a last minute equaliser. At the end of the day it was a great effort and a benchmark that the team knows it can reach in 2008. This weekend the side will take on Swinburne who we scored a 3-3 draw against last time. It will be the battle for 5th, something the boys really want to take as finals seem a little too far away now.

Best Players: Aidy, Krum, Skills, Matrix, Kriek (everyone did a fantastic job)
