Doncaster Rovers 3 - 0 Boxhill Inter.
After the last two disappointing performances, the lads returned to playing the composed, but competitive style of football that has been a joy to watch. As expected, following Boxhill's draw with top team Melbourne Phoenix, the game started with both teams trying to stamp their authority. A few changes were made to the line-up this week with Ben going up front to add a 'bit of muscle' and Chris moving in to midfield to create more pace. This seemed to be working to good effect as, first Ben received the ball with his back to the goal, turned his man and slotted the ball into the bottom right-hand corner and then a minute later, Chris, having taken a pass from James on the edge of the area, calmly stroked the ball over the head of the keeper, half-time 2-0.
Then second-half was similar to the first, with Rovers starting to dominate the play, and knocking the ball aound with some confidence, A corner from Cam found Harry in amongst the action and a firm header made it 3-0. Full marks to Boxhill, who continued to try to play good football and not resort to the tatics that some teams use when they go behind.
As we are in 3rd place, 2 points off the top with 1 & 2 playing each other next week, a win against Oakleigh will leave us in a great postion to start the second half of the season.
Keep playing good football boys and the results will follow.
