New boys on target for Maroons

"You are a genius in the transfer market, TH10".That's what TH10 imagined Fergus was muttering at him during a 3-1 win over Uni on Saturday. And for good reason. With mass changes at the Maroons, all four goals (fernando 2, Vinnie 1 and Gav 1) have come from new players this season. TH10 should have added four of his own on Saturday, so perhaps Fergus was muttering about that. And for good reason. But, dwelling on the positives, the Maroons too started with 13 players, grew with the addition of AB playing up as a guest (he laid on the opener for Fernando) and then ended with 12. Some exhausted players made hard work of closing out the game.
It was 2-0 at halftime as Gav added to Fernando's strike but Uni scored with pretty much their only shot, a long range beauty that gave Goalie guest Kev not a chance. There was a brief tremble but the defence got tough and Vinne made sure of the result with ten minutes to play - thumping a scorcher high into the net from near the edge of the box. It's great to get off the mark ("how would you know, TH10" muttered Fergus.
