APOLLO SC -WEBB STREET MT GAMBIER
APOLLO SC -WEBB STREET MT GAMBIER
 | |
The much awaited Elimination Final between 3rd place Gambier Centrals & 4th place Gambier City Sharks, was played at the home of Apollo SC on Sunday.
The last time these teams played, Centrals won comfortably 4-0 against a very under strength Sharks team in Round 12.
The Sharks finally were able to produce a full strength squad with all players being available.
The Starting Line Up
GK: Norton Fuller
Defence: Heath Widdison, Craig Wright, Corey Pilven, Daniel Leary
Midfield: Jason Brooks, Matt Gordon, Tobbei Kennett, Mafwata Bope
Forwards: Julien Tralongo, Salva Kasole
Substitutes: Chris Tralongo, Matt Weistra, Andy Gentile, Dylan Kennett
The Game summary as follows:
Centrals captain Jesse Wehnam won the toss and decided to kick with the wind in the first half.
The Sharks started without their key player Matt Weistra, who was fulfilling his duties with South Gambier Football Club, playing in the A Grade Elimination final against North Gambier.
It was an arm wrestle right from the start, but it was the Sharks that started the attack with Julien Tralongo in action very early in the game
when he shoots from distance only to see the ball travel over the cross bar.
Both teams were applying lots of pressure, causing many turnovers and playing counter attack style game.
The Lions were sending long balls to their forwards, but the Sharks defence of Widdison, Wright, Pilven and young Leary prevented any early attempts on goal.
The hard running midfield of Tobbei Kennett & Matt Gordon were causing some concerns for the Lions as many times they broke through the defence and had shots on goal.
Lions keeper Bytheway was in good form, and save after save denied the Sharks any goals.
Jason Brooks & Marc Bope were following instructions from their coach keeping the most dangerous talented players for the Lions in Alex Sims & Mark Judd very close and denying them any positive possession. (28min) From the side line in the Sharks attacking half, Pilven throws the ball to the feet of his captain Tobbei Kennet, who controls the ball,
dribbles to the edge of the 18 yd box, and from a tight angle smashes the ball so hard it goes under the cross bar, denying any chance for Bytheway to save. What a goal. Score 1-0
Coach Bruttomesso made his first change bringing off Julien Tralongo who seemed to have over stretched his hamstring, and replacing him with his younger brother Chris.
Half Time Score. Sharks lead 1-0
PHOTOS BY MARTIN KERNICK
(80min) Centrals young gun, Mark Judd found some space on the right side of the field, and from approx 20 yds blasts the ball over the Sharks keeper Fuller into the back of the net.
Was a great goal. Score 1-1.
At the final whistle, the scoreline was locked at 1-1.
Both teams now have to play extra time (10mins/each way).
As both teams were having a break, Matt Weistra arrived and quickly got ready to go on and play in the extra time.
Unfortunately, Chris Tralongo was selected to come off making way for Matt Weistra.
All players were starting to feel fatigued after a long 90 min arm wrestle.
Another substitute was made by Coach Bruttomesso when Salva Kasole was suffering from cramps came off and was replaced by much experienced player Andy Gentile.
Gentile had made an immediate impact as his decision making and passing skills were evident, and was very unlucky not to score.
It was the 2 goal keepers that were giving the large crowd some entertainment making some great saves, both in Norton Fuller (Sharks) & William Bytheway (Centrals).
(5 mins –second half/extra time) Sharks are awarded a corner, Weistra steps up to take it. Weistra delivers the perfect ball, with his captain Tobbei Kennett against Centrals captain Jesse Wenham.
Kennett manages to break free and positions himself to meet the ball and executing the game winning header into the top left hand corner of goal.
A helpless Bytheway could only watch the ball as it crossed the line.
Sharks lead 2-1.
Final whistle blew, and it was the Sharks that were the victors and now earn themselves a place in next weeks Preliminary Final against their arch rivals International SC, who lost to Apollo in penalties after the scoreline was locked at 2-2 after extra time.

MILLICENT 0 v SHARKS 3
 | |
In the final round of the Dycer Constructions Premership, Sharks travel to Millicent to face Millicent United.
Last time these teams met, Sharks run out comfortable winners 7-1.
Sharks were eager to find some form with a week away from the critical Elimination Final against Centrals.
Sharks were missing some of their key players this week ensuring that the strongest team possible will be available for the important match the following week.
Also missing was the Sharks Coach Bruttomesso, who was admitted to hospital on Friday suffering from severe back pain.
WBSA Legend , President and assistant coach Vic Gentile stepped into to take control of the senior teams in Bruttomesso’s absence.
Outs: T.Kennett, M.Gordon, M.Weistra, N.Fuller
Starting Line Up:
GK: Jesse Widdison(U17)
Defenders: Bradley Lamont (U17), Craig Wright, Corey Pilven, Daniel Leary(U17)
Midfield: Jason Brooks©, Heath Widdison, Chris Tralongo, Mafwata Bope
Forwards: Julien Tralongo, Salva Kasole
Substitutes: Dylan Kennett(U17), Luke Harris(U17)
The weather conditions were cold and windy and a very strong breeze made the playing conditions very difficult.
Game Summary as follows:
(20min) Good midfield play resulted in a well finished goal by the captain of the day Jason Brooks.
It started when Kasole received the ball, passed out wide to Bope who cleverly switched play to find Brooks unmarked who carried the ball into the box and smashed the ball past the keeper. Score 1-0.
Coach Gentile made the first substitute of the game bringing off key striker Julien Tralongo for a rest and replacing him with up and coming youngster
Luke Harris who bagged 2 goals in the u17 game earlier on in the day.
Tralongo was needed for the bigger mission that lay ahead the following week. This gave another opportunity for youngsters to get more time in Senior games.
Sharks were dominating possession and kept the ball in their attacking half for most of the half, but it was the United defence of Dibley that kept United in the game.
Half Time
| B GRADE | A GRADE |

(70min) It was Widdison again who executed a killer pass to Kasole, using his incredible skill had no trouble slotting the ball past the keeper. Score 3-0
The Final score Sharks winning 3-0
The Sharks now prepare to do battle with the Lions in the much anticipated Elimination final being played next week at the Apollo SC –Webb Street.

Forwards: S.Kasole, T.Kennett
Substitutes: B.Lamont, D.Kennett, L.Harris, C.Mackenzie
Game Summary as follows;
With the finals in sights, Coach Bruttomesso urged his players to focus on possession of the ball and structure moving up & down the field.
The Sharks started the game fairly well, dominating possession early in the game, and creating many chances on goal with Kennett and Kasole, not too far from the mark,
forcing the panthers keeper to be alert from the waves of attack from the Sharks.
(25min) Brooks was unlucky not to put the first score on the board, when a lose ball fell his way, he took a chance by smashing the ball towards goal,
which looked like it was going in , until it deflected off a Panthers defender and over the line for a corner kick.
(27min) The Sharks score their first goal from a corner taken by Pilven, who cleverly placed a low and hard ball towards the front post, the ball deflected off a panther’s defender and into goal. Score 1-0
(37min) Another corner taken by Pilven found an unmarked Kasole on the penalty spot, who flew high to score a well executed header into the far right hand side of the goal. Score 2-0
Half Time

Coach Bruttomesso was happy with the display of passing and possession game the Sharks were playing, against a much improved Panthers side.
The second half was much the same as the first, plenty of opportunities for the Sharks, but could not find the back of the net.
(78min) Kasole scores his second goal, when midfielder Widdison sends an accurate throughball, splitting the Panthers defence and allowing Kasole to run onto and slot past the keeper in a one-on-one confrontation. With a 3-0 lead, Coach Bruttomesso made some substitutions bringing off Tralongo & Bope for a rest allowing U17 Players Brad Lamont & Dylan Kennett to gain more time in the Senior A Grade competition.
The game finished 3-0 win to the Sharks.
Next week there is no games played in the WBSA, as the SAJSA Junior State Country Championships are held in Broken Hill.

APOLLO 2 v SHARKS 3
 | |
In Round 12, the Sharks travel to Webb Street, to face the Premiership favorites Apollo.
The last time these teams met in Round 5, Sharks beat the Premiers 3-2 at Shark Park.
Since that game, Sharks have lost some key players due to injury, suspension and relocation.
Sharks started the second round of the Premiership with a loss to Blue Lake, Inter & Centrals last week and were
looking to find some form, 3 weeks away from the Elimination Final.
Still without key players, the Sharks were facing a huge challenge.
In the previous senior game, Sharks B Grade scored an emphatic win against the Premiers scoring 2 goals to nil.
First goal scored by Sharks veteran Dino Gentile who cleverly headed the ball over the keeper from a well directed free kick from Craig Wright.
The second goal was scored by August Htoo, who cleverly showed some fancy footwork beat 3 defenders, and calmly slotted the ball past the keeper.
The feeling in the Shark camp was very positive, and it was the true spirit of the Sharks that defeated a polished Premiership side.
Could the A Grade repeat a win against the Premiers with an under strength side who has been struggling recently?
Weather conditions were good, with some isolated showers expected late in the afternoon.
Outs: Tobbei Kennett (inj), Heath Widdison (inj), Ethan Parsons (inj), Lance Da Rocha (Inj), Andrjez Szpakowski (out)
Ins: Corey Pilven, Norton Fuller, Jason Brooks
Line Up:
GK –Norton Fuller
Defence: Bradley Lamont (U17), Craig Wright, Corey Pilven, Daniel Leary (U17)
Midfield: Jason Brooks, Matt Gordon, Matt Weistra, Mafwata Bope
Forward: Salva Kasole, Julian Tralongo
Substitutes: Chris Tralongo, Dylan Kennett, Eh Moo, Jesse Widdison
The game summary as follows:
(2min) Apollo indicated their intentions right from the start with an explosive attack which resulted Matt Ripper finding space down the wing,
crossed the ball hard and low across the box and found an unmarked Jamie Stephenson who slammed the ball into the back of the net. Score 0-1.
The Sharks camp were totally stunned, but the boys held their heads high and just continued with the uphill battle.
(26min) Matt Weistra was displaying some of his amazing skill on the ball, but was fouled just outside the box about 20 yards out.
Tralongo quickly claims the free kick, and makes no mistake hitting the ball hard and low finding space around the Apollo wall and past the keeper Morris. Score 1-1
(30min) It was Tralongo again who cleverly showed some skill not only to shield the ball away from the defenders,
but manages to slip past the defence and the keeper and blast the ball into top left hand of goal. Score 2-1
The game was turning out to be an end to end battle.
Sharks defence of Wright, Pilven and the youngsters Leary & Lamont were able to limit the amount of chances Apollo could get in front of goal by applying pressure forcing turnovers and dispossession.
Sharks pair of Wright & Pilven who previously starred in the B Grade win were continuing on with their brilliant form in the A Grade match.
Pilven keeping his head was proving very quickly that he is a very talented player and was combining well with Wright holding the Sharks defence very strong.
Fuller who has been battling with injuries this year was back at his best.
Pulling off some brilliant saves and denying Apollo forwards any goals.
Half Time Score Sharks lead 2-1

Coach Bruttomesso was more than pleased with the first half performance from his boys.
Even though they conceded a very early goal, they kept the pressure on Apollo forcing them to make unforced errors and losing possession of the ball.
The message at half time was to keep the pressure on and don’t allow them to have easy possession and find space to shoot & make the most of any opportunity in front of goal.
The second half started with 4 yellow cards being issued in the first 10 mins to both teams.
(68min) It was a hatrick for Tralongo again who receives a brilliant through ball from Weistra, manages to break away from Bytheway and slots the ball past a keeper Morris. Score 3-1
(70min) Minutes later, a penalty was awarded to Apollo for an infringement inside the penalty area.
Bytheway steps up to take it, and converts easily. Score 3-2
Apollo sensed a comeback and Apollo Coach Derek Ferguson made the first change for the game bringing off his son young Matt Ferguson and replacing him with multi-game winner John Stephenson.
Some excellent runs from Sharks winger Jason Brooks who bought the ball deep into Sharks attacking zone.
Tralongo again receives the ball going forward, manages to evade the defenders, steps past the keeper with an open goal staring at him, he suddenly grabs his leg and drops to the ground with a possible hamstring strain.
Score could have easily been 4-2, however he is substituted with his younger brother Chris.
Some excellent football was played from both teams, but it was the Sharks who appeared to hold their nerve and hold out their opponents for the rest of the game.
Sharks running out winners 3-2 in the end showing that the Shark’s fighting spirit is well & truly alive.
A fantastic day for the Sharks, firstly a win in the B Grade against a team that has not lost a game in 2 years.
And the A Grade recording their second win against the Premiership favorites, this time at Apollo’s home ground.
Coaches comments about his players;
Norton Fuller – Showed why he is considered to be the best keeper in the WBSA. Fuller displayed his usual reflex saves and high arial acrobatic saves. His ability to land his kicks in the attacking half consistently is amazing.
Daniel Leary – 15 year old, first year at the Sharks defended very well against the likes of Hodge, Ripper, Stephensons, Panagopolous.
Craig Wright – Solid in defence. He is very quick, can read the game and just appears to pop up all over the place. Covers a lot of ground during the game. Real asset to the Sharks.
Bradley Lamont – Also 15 year old, first year at Sharks and also first year of playing soccer. He plays with no fear. He’s tall, solid in defence and puts his body on the line regardless of the situation.
Corey Pilven – Proved today why he is considered very dangerous once he lets go of his negativity and focuses on the game. Can play in all positions on the park including a back up goal keeper if needed.
Jason Brooks – Very fit and works hard. Gives his opponent a hard time, and makes explosive runs that can cause head aches for the defence. Can cross the ball into the danger zone. Has been a real improver.
Matt Gordon – Current captain, brilliant performer works hard and never gives up. Displays some silky skills and is not afraid to contest the hard balls. Creates plenty of opportunities for his forwards.
Matt Weistra – Also hard working. Plays with a ‘never give up attitude’. Likes to win the ball in the middle, posseses the best foot skills in the competition. Can shoot from distance and also features in many assists in the goals scored by the Sharks.
Mafwata Bope – Only 17 yrs old, recently returned from a broken arm he suffered in Round 2 against Blue Lake. His best game to date. His job was to prevent Panagopolous dominating the game. He certainly did that.
Salva Kasole – Works very hard off the ball, running at speed putting pressure on defenders. Likes to use his fast silky skills. Found himself offside many times through out the game, which is very frustrating for the Coach.
Julian Tralongo – Joined the team at the same time the Sharks lost Okezie Nzeakor who was instrumental in the Sharks defence. With the return of some players, he now becomes the spear head striker the Sharks have been looking for. Scoring a hatrick against the Premiership team shows his capabilities.
In the remainder rounds, the Sharks are at home against the Portland Panthers , and finish with an away game against Millicent in Round 14.
With Tobbei Kennet, Heath Widdison & Ethan Parsons becoming available in the coming weeks, the Sharks Senior team will be at full strength when they will face Centrals in the Elimination Final.

Last time these 2 teams met in Round 4, the game ended up in a draw 2-2.
Sharks have had a torrid time with injuries & suspensions, making many players unavailable.
Coach Bruttomesso has had to pick a different squad every week, depending on what players are available to him.

The weather conditions were perfect, the pitch had recovered dramatically from last week.
The game summary as follows:
(15min) Weistra came very close to scoring the first goal, when he found some room inside the 18 yd box,
and blasted a shot towards goal, but ex Sharks keeper Wil Bytheway pulled off the save of the day, to deny Sharks the early lead.
It was a pretty even game with both sides looking for a way through, but it was the defenders that stood up and made it hard for the forwards to penetrate.
For the Sharks it was youngsters Lamont & Leary & Widdison who really came of age.
Lamont & Widdison had previously played 2 full games (U17 & BGrade). Leary played his own age group (U17).
Wright & Tralongo held strong mopping up any loose balls that were in danger of a scoring chance for the Centrals attacking forwards.
At the other end of the park, It was Wehnam, Cutting, Thorne who kept the exciting duo of Salva Kasole & Mafwata Bope from scoring their opportunites as well.
Half Time Score 0-0
(65min) It was Centrals that found the break in the second half, when a basic mistake by the young Sharks keeper
allowed the ball to deflect over the goal line off his foot as he was picking the ball up. Score 0-1 Centrals up.
(75 min) A defensive error by the Sharks again gave the lions an easy route to goal, when Tidy held the ball along the back line and found an
unmarked target near the penalty spot, who slotted the ball past the keeper. Score 0-2
(80min) A penalty was awarded to Centrals when the player was tackled by Leary, which appeared to be outside the box,
however referee Jeremy Butler pointed to the spot and awarded the penalty kick which was easily converted. Score 3-0
Coach Bruttomesso made some major changes sending Julian Tralongo & Wright up forward to assist Weistra
and the forwards to see if they could reduce the deficit, but Bytheway was having a field day making some great saves.
(88min) A quick counter attack from the lions who finished off the game with their fourth goal.
The final score 0-4
The result was 3 points to Centrals, however Coach Bruttomesso is confident that most of his Senior players would be

SHARKS 1 v INTER 3
| |  |
In the match of the round, it was the Gambier City Sharks taking on International at Shark Park.
On a pitch that is in desperate need of some repair the two teams took to the park for a game that would more than likely see the victorious team move clear in second place on the table.
The Sharks found some space in just the 4th minute following a corner with Kasole putting the ball past VonDuve who took a knock to the head in the play & needed some medical assistance.
A few minutes later and International were disallowed a goal after Moroney was found off-side.
The conditions were terrible through the middle of the park and Sam Bueti was able to find some grass for a run down the wing, cutting in and putting the ball past Fuller.
Just before half time VonDuve had to be substituted and Matt Bueti went from Striker to Keeper for the visitors much to the home crowds liking.
It was the visitors that capitalised in the second half with Moroney finishing finely after stepping around Fuller to take the lead for the first time in the match.
The Sharks had their chance when Wiestra got around Bueti, but was unable to finish.
A Penalty awarded to Cella and taken by Ileasi clintched the victory for International 3 – 1 and with a game in hand still they now sit second on the table.

The match of the round was all one way traffic as the current cup holders, Apollo brushed aside The Sharks.
Only a few weeks ago the Sharks pressured Apollo all over the park and defeated them at Shark Park for the first time in their history.
This week they were swept aside by Derek Ferguson's Apollo side, who cruised to a four goal win.

Apollo dominated early, creating several chances before it was an own goal that put them ahead.
A cross deep into the box was turned into his own net by young Brad Pilven playing at right fullback.
Ignoring the call from keeper Norton Fuller, Pilven rose to meet the cross and headed the ball into the open net.
Fuller was called into action after the restart making a fine save only to be beaten once again moments later after some good work down the left by Panagopoulus.

The Sharks had a half chance but Tobbie Kennett failed to hit the target.
It was Panagopoulous who put the game out of reach for the Sharks on the 30 minute mark tapping in a shot that Fuller could not handle.
The second half saw John Bruttomesso ring in the changes with Pilven substituted and his cousin Corey Pilven introduced.

Craig Wright was moved up front and Damien Stemburger was pushed to the back,
it was however too little too late and Apollo added to their total when substitute Matt Ferguson added a fourth with 15 minutes remaining.
The Sharks will be bitterly disappointed with the result and their performance as they were beaten all over the park in the biggest day in their history.

Apollo will head into next weeks cup full of confidence but with Apollo and International having already met twice this year and the ledger at one all, it will be a blockbuster not to be missed.

Credit goes to the the Panthers goal keeper, who was called on regulary to make some good saves, denying the Sharks to run away with a big score.

SHARKS 3 v APOLLO 2

HISTORY MAKING DAY FOR SHARKS
'The most anticipated match of the year to date'!!
That was the buzz around the region and the whole day didn't disappoint the many soccer fans that came to Shark Park.
The Sharks Under 12 squad were first up and with a hard fought 2-1 Victory, they book-ended one of the biggest days in The Shark camp history.
Apollo were able to take back momentum by winning in the next two grades, U17 and B Grade.
With A Grade players from both sides watching on, the Under 14 match proved to be the perfect curtain raiser for what was to come. The Sharks Under 14's were triumphant in a whistle to whistle battle that no-one was going to call until the game was done, finishing in a scoreline of 3-2.
The scene could never be more set than it was, as The Sharks A Grade side 'ran on' for final warm-ups before facing their foe.
The Sharks were missing one of it's biggest assets in Goal Keeper, Norton Fuller, all thoughts were on Corey Pilven, recovering from a hand injury, was deemed fit on the Saturday and named as keeper for the day. Before the game Corey said "Fullers', were big shoes to fill, but he would do his best to do The Club proud!"
Sharks Coach John Bruttomesso said to his players prior to the match, "This game is crucial to the Sharks season. If we lose and Millicent win.. we go out of the top 4."
"If we win we go equal 2nd or 3rd dependant on other results for the day".
"The aim is simple...score goals!"
Coach Bruttomesso urged his players "Put pressure on the player with the ball, force them to turn over and hit them with 'counter attack' style football, with our fast forwards, Stemberger, Kennett, Weistra and Kasole running forward to score".
With a couple of positional shifts for The Sharks this was going to be a titanic test of will, skill and perseverance.
From the onset it was obvious to see that both sides were there to stamp an early mark on the game. The fast moving attacks of Sharks and Apollo were making space and pushing hard forward to apply early pressure on defences and keepers alike.
11 minutes in and a hard running Damian Stemberger enters the top of box and settles to shoot, only to be pushed in back, the whistle blew and the roar went up from the supporters as Referee Nathan Butler pointed to The Spot for a penalty.
Stemberger stepped up to take the kick, picked his spot, then striking the ball low and left, the keeper diving to his right, but unable to get to in time.
First blood to The Sharks, had The Apollo side shaking their heads.
This had the effect on the game of, opening it up, and both camps worked the ball around finding space.
Corey Pilven was being called on to save at regular intervals, turning a save into deep attack had Apollo scrambling at the back and they put the ball out on the right side. A quick throw from winger Jason Brooks into the penalty area saw Captain Tobbei Kennett attempt an 'over head scissor kick', but only made slight contact and the ball went wide of the upright.
The half time whistle loomed as Apollo were awarded a free kick in attack, Apollos' number 11 set up to take the kick and his team set up to push for a goal. As the kick came in toward goal the bodies went up, the ball finding the head of Hancock for Apollo and giving Pilven no chance to save as the ball cleared his head.
The Apollo equaliser wasn't what The Sharks were wanting right before half time.

CENTRALS 2 v SHARKS 2
 | |
No-one could deny the fact that, there was an air of expectation over the game, some thing was going to happen today, that would define the season for both these teams.
'And That's What Happened' !!
The whistle blew and Centrals came hard out of the blocks, for a brief time, found The Sharks back line heavy legged and with only 3 minutes off the clock, were able to get a cross into the area by Huff to a waiting Centrals head, only to go clear of the cross bar for a goal kick.
Back in play and it was obvious that Centrals were going to keep coming hard as they pressed forward again and again. The Sharks back line was in full gear now and Craig wright was starting to get into the game and shut Centrals attacks, and using the support of Under 17 Daniel Leary, in his debut game for the A Grade squad, began turning defence into attack.
Now allowing The Sharks forward on a switch to the right. The Centrals back line, up for the job, forced the loss of the ball, away for a quick break and multiple numbers coming at keeper Norton Fuller.
Pressure by The Sharks defence forced the ball carrier deep to the bottom of the six yard box, but he was able to turn back and pass inboard for a first time strike past Fullers right to find the back of the net.
Score to Centrals at the 22 minute mark of the first half.
Sharks 1 Down.
10 minutes later and the pressure of the weekend, started to show as The Sharks frustration came to the surface. They made push after push into attack but with no reward for their efforts.
In the meantime The Sharks defence line was working overtime to combat forward forays by Centrals.
Stoppage time in the first half and the same combination of Centrals players work into the box and shoot, hitting the post and over the base line for a goal kick to The Sharks.
PHOTOS BY MARTIN KERNICK
Half time and 1 goal down, some things to think about and decisions to be made by coach John Bruttomesso.
The focus of the chat was all about finding that little bit more to finish it off, knowing you've got the team to win isn't enough, you still have to do it!!
The Sharks started the 2nd half, pushing the ball back to the defencive line to open the play and give themselves room to run upfront. Immediately this proved to have an effect on the Centrals backs as, Kasole, Kennett and Weistra hit them on the left and bring Brooks from the right, and this all just means a 'GOAL' to Matt Gordon from a Brooks pass off a Weistra corner only 6 minutes into the half. The equaliser by The Sharks.
Score Level.
It was 13 minutes later when an on field incident caused the showing of a Red Card to the Centrals number 9 Tidy, and the number 1 jumper of The Sharks Fuller from goals.
As Fuller left the ground the decision came to one of who was going to finish in goals for The Sharks? Up stepped young Bradd Pilven, formally of Centrals and more than a worthy keeper for the task at hand.
The next ten minutes saw frantic football as both sides pushed hard when in possession and Centrals showed their determination at putting a goal past their old club mate. Pilven standing solid against these attacks.
27 minutes had ticked by when; "Penalty", Weistra taken down by Wenham in the penalty area and the ball would be spotted for him to take on the keeper, one on one.
GOAL to Weistra.
Sharks 1 Up.
Both teams played more space and greater attacking ability when reduced to 10 men, this was never more evident than in the chances which both sides made throughout the remainder of the half.
Into stoppage time and a flag goes up for offside, The Sharks players stop as the whistle blows, then the call to play on!
The Centrals attackers pounce on this opportunity and go into the box, after a scramble in front of the keeper Centrals get a shot on target. Pilven had a covering sight on it when it took a deflection less than two feet away, giving him no chance to react to save.
Scores Level at 2 - 2 to finish the game.
