Good game last night against Island Bay Reds ending in a 3-3 draw. We scored first through a counter attack with out striker running onto the ball. Looked like a good one on one finish buried into the far corner from my end but turned the defender had caught him, got in a perfect sliding tackle only to slot the ball past his keeper. They equalised when their left winger managed to run onto a long ball and cut inside a couple of defenders a bit too easily. We took the lead again just before half time with a goal of the season contending volley from outside the box. Had a great view of it and it looked in as soon as he hit it. So 2-1 up at half time.
Continuing a running theme this season when we're 1 up at half time they equalised with pretty much the first play of the 2nd half with a cross headed into the far corner. We took the lead again through a shambolic scramble. Ball crossed in from the left then a couple of players had 3 or 4 goes at it with their keeper out of the picture, one of them blocked the other, then one hit the post from virtually on the goalline and eventually the guy who made the cross ended up making it in there to finish it. Sadly they equalised again when a cross from the left ballooned way up the air, I got blinded and lost it in the floodlights and it was headed it at the far post.
Despite them being 9 points ahead of us, having taken the lead 3 times it feels like points dropped for us. Still an improvement on the last outing though.
