The Dream Start They Wanted

Ztec Griffins 2 - 6 Dalat Falcons

The Griffins who had their captain #1 Leo Nard back in the team made an impressive start scoring twice against 2008 Division 2 Champions. Falcons attacked from all corners but was kept at bay many times by #1 Leo Nard. It was Griffins that drew first blood. #69 Amos comfortably put the ball pass a Falcon defender and hit it to the bottom right of the post. What a goal! Moments later, Griffins #23 Brandon took a free hit before the Falcons wall was perfectly formed. The ball, with top speed when straight to the left top corner. GOAL!! Shouted the players from the Griffins bench. The excitement can be seen among the players, coaches as well as spectators.

When the Griffins thought they will going to have this easily, Falcons hit back. 1 goal then another in a space of less than 2 minutes. Half time, the score was 2-2. A scoreline they players didnt expected.

In the second period, The Griffins went to deep defending mode staying mostly in their own half only to make one or two counter attacks. The speed, size and stamina of the Falcon players proved too much for the Griffins. Soon, the goals were flowing in. Some due to defensive errors, some just great movement by the Falcons.

The final score was 6-2. The Griffins will next play Contact Bullets on the 10th March 2009 at Dalat School. (7.45pm)
