A brave yet ultimately futile performance. The 10 Maroons left standing fought hard and ran all day (except for the lone striker who pulled a calf muscle inside 30 seconds and hobbled all day). Jamberoo's first half goal followed a clear foul on goalie Pete but as the game wore on we had the chances to grab a point, coming closest when a bullet header from the always excellent and inspirational Paul E shaved the top of the bar and TH10's lob cleared the stranded keeper but also the bar. It's true that Jamberoo could have easily added a second as the Maroons tired and threw an extra man forward in the final 15 minutes but they missed a few clear cut chances and we were lucky not to concede a penalty.
The 15 opponents and ref expressed their admiration for our efforts at the finish, but you don't get competition points for never giving up.
