Any MPL match reports?
Watched Bays/Coastal. Hummer of a game, one for the purists with the 2 early soft goals Bays scored being the difference in the end. new look Coastal struggled to get combinations going while Bays defended high and looked to force mistakes as Coastal endeavoured to play out from the back. Bays played to their strengths with Kamo having a strong game and Highfield saving their bacon several times. Coastal started to dominate the 2nd half and could have brought it back to 2-1 with a good one on one for Camel going begging which would have made the game interesting. As so often happens Bays sowed the game up shortly afterwards with a well taken goal, only for Coastal to reply with the goal of the game, flick on header from Camel well read by Smash Wellbourn who volleyed home from 20 yards, only to be sent off for his 2nd undeserved (dissent) yellow a few minutes later. Good win for Bays, promising start to Turnbull's coaching career at this level, bad day for referees.
Sad end to a good day for Coastal, win for Premier women returning them to the top of the table, PDL turned a first round 8-2 hiding from Bays into a 4-1 win.
