The great effort of every player on the field was crucial to taking the league points.

The goalkeeper and defence lines stuck to the game plan and covered a lot of ground to keep the ball from going over or under the goal posts. Midfielders were strong in both halves and turned over many balls and fed in quick and short passes to the half forwards and full forwards who all worked really hard. Every player kept the momentum going till the last second of play.

Well done to each and every one of the players for your great team work and your never give up attitude.
