No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

In the 51st minute, Jerrard Keam hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Bryden Ziliotto hit a great ball. 71 minutes into the match, Ben Rear had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lorimer Gannan.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Jarvis Fallen prevented the ball from getting in the gole.
