League Play-Off

Willows Stadium
Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Rolando Locke started the match with the kick off. If Rolando Locke had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Long Breasley came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Yalpara fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Long Breasley couldn't finish the play. In the 11th minute, Duke Crampton hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Brandon Wadley didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 15th minute, which inside left pole to 1-0. 20 minutes into the match, Loud Magnay had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Grant Mitchell. Joachim Wiking TSS's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Loud Magnay was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. The audience was convinced that Loud Magnay's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Grant Mitchell was relentless in the 25th minute of the game. 31 minutes into the match, Yalpara's goal looked a bit too open when Rolando Locke came free, but Brandon Wadley reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Loud Magnay sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

The ball looked like it was going in, but it was hit a bit too hard and flew over the goal. 43 minutes into the game, Aden Sanderson was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Joachim Wiking TSS's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Yalpara the free kick. Aden Sanderson kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Corbett Howie scored 2-1 in the 54th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Brandon Wadley, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. A hard shot 65 in the game by Long Breasley from a close distance when the talented Grant Mitchell managed to make a qualified save. Joachim Wiking TSS's players were relieved. Duke Crampton hit a great freekick 65 minutes into the match. After a rather tough play, Joachim Wiking TSS's Alford Kuskop got a free kick in the 72nd minute.

But to his dismay, Long Breasley quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. Joachim Wiking TSS's Grant Mitchell played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Loud Magnay in the 94th minute of play.
