Game Five
Played on Neilson Pk. No 6 18th May against the Richmond Rovers. Things wern't looking too good at kick-off time, the Cyclones had only 7 players on the field, whilst the Richmond Rovers had 11. Not long into the game the Rovers scored, & that looked like it might be the pattern of the game. Things looked brighter for the Cyclones when Dylan arrived & took his place on the pitch. It wasn't long befor Dylan scored the equaliser. The eighth player made a big difference & the Cyclones were able to match it with the Rovers eleven, going to the break at one all. The second 1/2 was similar to the first, very even. The Rovers broke the deadlock, with an excellent individual goal. From that point the Cyclones dominated, but couldn't find the back of the net. Not helped by some dubious decisions, the Cyclones pressed on, peppering the oppositions goal line. The game was drawing to a nail-biting finish. With 3 minutes to go, Jake burrowed his way through the pack & snared himself & the team the equaliser. The game finished, with the spectators on the edge of their seats, at 2-2 |
