An early free kick paid off for Uni Mt when their player beat Trent directly from just outside the box. Pukekohe managed to get a couple of calls their way around the box also, only for Wiz to miss his shots by less than a foot on two occasions, and we also forced a save by the keeper from an Elliot Clark free kick. Elliot was then unlucky enough to meet the keepers studs front on soon after and had to leave the field with some nasty cuts and bruises on his leg. Nothing wrong with the studs first slide to get the ball apparently.
Its not often I feel personally responsible for not winning a game, but I have to put up my hand and apologise for my disasterous lack of composure and form in front of the Uni Mt goal, missing at least 3 clear chances in the second half.
Unfortunately we let Uni Mt extend their lead soon after one of my missed chances, when a player was unmarked and headed home a free kick.
Full credit to our boys, especially the younger ones, who didn't back down and kept on fighting. We managed to claw a goal back through Scott, but alas it only left us 90 seconds to score an equaliser.
A 2-1 loss, could have been the other way around.
Big thanks to Roger for reffing the second half of what was a tough match.
The next Reserves match is at home against Three Kings Utd, 12:30pm KO.
