Another sumptuous finish by Sotirio. Using his pace to great effect tonight. Good nod on by Waineo in the build up too. 👏

Rufer!!!! Ahhhh no Waine nicks in and stabs it in. Robbed!

And then a terrible tackle on Fenton. Avondale down to 10.

If Rufer was ever to score, this would be the game.   Wish we played like this against the Jest last week.

He's scored below a league level before. Remember he was an all whites striker for a bit. His not getting an a league goal is more about luck than anything.

 True but he's scored even less for the AWs then Brocks!

great start, nice runs, Sotirio running the defenders raggered. Couple of good saves from Sail. Was al little worried abut Fenton after that tackle, seems Avondale are pushing the tackles just a little too hard. Ball controlling everything.

 i image there will be a lot of Nix subs in the second half.  As the amateurs tire I hope we cash in.

Damn I know we’re playing a semi pro team who are down a man. But we’re looking sooo much slicker than the weekend.

A good chance to give the reserve keeper a run in the 2nd half?

Fenton's crossing has been great today.

We all know it's all but game over as it stands, but I want to see us keep the tempo that got us to 3-0 for the remainder of the game. Good chance to work on being more cutting edge in front of goal, even if it is at the expense of a semi pro bunch.

I've a feeling Josh will get hooked to keep him fresh for the weekend but I'd love to see him get his hat-trick.

Has he ever scored one in senior footie?

Even though we’re playing against an NPL side from the games I’ve seen with other a league teams against NPL sides none of them have dominated as much as we have.

Would be great if this game could end up being our record score.

This is almost like a midweek training game against the reserve team.  Every thing is going according to plan. What about the work rate from Ball?

Never good enough to play for England

 Have to say they are best I've heard from down under (both countries).  Really easy on the ears, no BS chat (Sky), or one eyed Aussie BS.

smart enough to identify Rufer's shortcomings and offer reasonable soultions too.

Been a pretty flat first opening 15 minutes to this half. Come on boys, let's put the icing on this cake.

Out of Rufer, Pennington and Lewis I'd say Pennington is the most deserving of a start on the weekend.  Lewis poor so far.

Andy Vargas in their coaching staff sounds familiar, he didn't play for the Kingz did he?

Repeat of the Jest game.  I think it's clear that Rufer and Lewis are not a good pairing and Reno is not the playmaker we all think he is.  

I'd start Pennington on the weekend instead of Lewis.  Pity there is no one to push Rufer on to the bench.

Can't wait for our new loan player in January.  We need him NOW.

Rufer and Lewis have been awful today considering they are playing a ten man team from a lower division.
