[quote=Ryans Rovers]South Coast Wolves 3 - APIA Tigers 2, Bevin missed a penalty for the Tigers

Marconi looked to have avoided danger in the 26’ minute when Ethan Gailbraith’s shot was cleared out of the Stallions box, but the ball was crossed back in and the unmarked striker tucked the ball neatly past Marconi goalkeeper Andrew Mercuri.

Marconi’s Nahuel Arrarte and APIA’s Ethan Gailbraith exchanged words and a few shoves in the 28’ minute, with the pair lucky to avoid a booking from referee Kris Griffith-Jones.

APIA’s Andrew Bevin was given too much space in the box in the 44’ minute and his shot was stopped by the woodwork.

Marconi’s Ali Haydar was lucky to stay on the pitch when he pushed Andrew Bevin just outside his own area.  D’Apuzzo’s free kick found Gailbraith who slotted the ball into the back of the net in the 73’ minute.

Another goal in the NSWPL for Andy Bevin tonight, but APIA Tigers lost 2-1 Blacktown Spartans

[/quote]Galbraith didn't even make the bench after his midweek heroics. Wonder if he was rested/hurt.

[quote]A minute later Kiwi winger Bevin salvaged one for the Tigers. A long range effort was deflected off Saliadarre into Bevin’s path. He poked it in and ran the ball straight back to the halfway line.

Do you know what his goals/apprearances at APIA are?

Another goal in the NSWPL for Andy Bevin tonight, but APIA Tigers lost 2-1 Blacktown Spartans

APIA won 2-1 in the Warratah Cup tonight. Neither Bevin or Galbraith picked up the goals, so will need to see if they put up match reports to see if they played.

[/quote][quote]APIA Leichhardt did manage to regain the lead in the 77’ minute when Aaron Tayebi brought down a rampaging Andrew Bevin in the box and referee Khodr Yaghi awarded a penalty.
Adam Casey had no trouble slotting home the ball much to the delight of the APIA bench.

Gailbraith’s second was an absolute screamer, as the lanky striker showed skill and a powerful shot to leave the White Eagles’ supporters in complete silence. Unfortunately for the two goal hero, he was to turn villain in the final minute of injury-time as he picked up a second yellow card and will consequently be out of the Cup Final next weekend.[/quote]

APIA-Leichhardt substitute Ethan Gailbraith attempted to get his side moving in the right direction with a mazy run on 70’ minutes, though the tall striker weaved his way into some trouble as the Bonnyrigg defenders shut down his run.

APIA-Leichhardt’s possession in midfield, and persistence, finally did pay off in the 78’ minute as Gailbraith drew the visitors level. A pin-point delivery from Stephen Kayes on the right was powerfully headed home by the Kiwi import, leaving Bazi helpless.

Gailbraith became the Tigers’ hero with 5’ minutes remaining as he found a stunning winner for his side. The striker showed poise on the ball to turn his marker and enter the penalty-area before blasting a venomous drive into the back of the net.

With the momentum completely in favour of the Tigers, Gailbraith uncharacteristically saw his near perfect evening turned on its head. Deep into injury-time, the striker kicked the ball away to buy some time for his side and was correctly shown his second yellow card for his efforts.

The sending off is a huge blow for the striker and the Tigers who will be without their front man for the Waratah Cup Final showdown against Sutherland Sharks.

APIA Tigers lost the final of the Waratah Cup 4-1 to the Sutherland Sharks.

[quote Official Player Ratings]

12.Andrew Bevin – 6 – Usually a lively performer, Bevin was well contained by the experience of George Souris and found little space on the pitch. When he did find space he did well to hold up the ball and provide opportunity for his colleagues, however was largely ineffectual overall before being substituted for Brad Bartels in the second half

APIA Tigers continued their horrible form, with a 2-1 loss against Sydney Olympic. Both Bevan & Galbraith seem to be in a goal drought.

[/quote]That was Bevin's last game for APIA.

[quote]“It doesn’t get any better with Andy Bevin going to university in the USA on Tuesday and therefore life goes on without him too.

Galbraith scored in a 3-1 win for APIA today.

[/quote][quote]On an overcast Sunday afternoon, the Suns immediately found themselves under the pump in the opening minute when a defensive mix-up between the centre-backs drew goalkeeper Ryan Norval off his line, allowing Tigers striker Ethan Galbraith to stride forward and head over the stranded custodian to give the Tigers the lead.

Galbraith scored in a 4-2 win for APIA over Sydney United. Neither of Sydney's goals were scored by Pavlovic.

[/quote][quote]Gailbraith was a constant menace up front for the visiting side and his movement behind was proving difficult to deal with for the Sydney United defence.

Gailbraith continued to threaten and only the offside flag prevented him from racing on to a through ball from Stephen Kayes in the 29’ minute, as APIA looked the more threatening side in the final third.

The hard running Gailbraith was proving to be a worthy outlet as the Tigers counter-attacked with panache, with D'Apuzzo, Hawyrsiuk and Bartels all heavily involved.

Adam D'Apuzzo was proving a constant threat to the Sydney United defence and he again released Gailbraith down the inside right channel, though he was helped by a slip from Mitchell Stamatellis. Cutting back on to his left foot, Gailbraith could only shoot tamely at Kolak.

Kolak was found wanting in the 70’ minute when he failed to get his fists to an attempted punched clearance, but Gailbraith headed over the bar.

Just minutes later though, APIA Leichhardt went back ahead in what was turning into a classic match. APIA were readying Grade 20s hotshot Nick Taneski to be introduced in place of Gailbraith, when the visitors were awarded a free-kick.

Gailbraith signalled to the bench to hold the substitution so that he could take the free-kick, and he duly delivered, sending a gem of a strike past Kolak and in off the post to restore APIA's one goal lead. The striker celebrated with the bench before taking his seat on it, as Taneski was introduced.

Galbraith scored in a 4-2 win for APIA over Sydney United. Neither of Sydney's goals were scored by Pavlovic.
