Another home game for us and it was a chance to get one over on an old rival. The game kicked off in cold but fine conditions. Apart from the cricket pitch, the ground was in good condition. After an initially strong opening from the visitors, Woodleigh settled and produced some good football, stretching Moturoa at times with good passing and movement. Glynn went close to scoring our first goal with a curling effort which was going in but the Reds' keeper got a hand to it to push the ball away for a corner. We had several good chances from corners, Mark and Danny both getting heads to the ball but just failing to get their respective chances on target.0-0 at halftime and we were happy with our effort. In the second period Moturoa lifted their effort and caused us some problems at the back, but it was from a penalty that they took the lead after Jason was judged to have pulled back an opponent in the box.Scott Manson blasted home the spotkick to make it 0-1.Our response was almost immediate though and Allan finished off an excellent freekick move from the left which was taken by Jason.He hit a long cross to the far side of the goalmouth where Glynn met the ball with his head and sent it back across the six yard box to Allan, and he calmly tucked the ball away, 1-1. After that the game moved from end to end quite nicely. With time running out,Jason made a couple of changes to try and win the game, shifting himself out of defence and going to a 3-4-3 formation from 4-4-2.Jordan replaced Brian and a bit later Michael came on for Allan. Unfortunately the team failed to adapt to the changes and it was an error by young Michael that led to Moturoa's late winner, after his weak pass was pounced on and the ball was fed to Anthony Ander who cooly beat Sam to make it 1-2. So it was disappointing to lose but with our play in the first half particularly, it augurs well for our cup game with Francis Douglas next weekend.
