AWAKERI ROVERS v Da SILVA AWAKERI AUTOS - 7th GRADE
A local derby - glorious sunshine - a great start to the 2008 Season for Rovers.
Equally matched sides fought hard during the first half. The deadlock was broken
by a well taken goal by Cody Baker-Bragg. Da Silva responded very quickly with
a superb goal, which left goalkeeper Mathew Webb with no chance. In the last
few minutes of the first half, Rovers took the game to Da Silva and Jacob Davis
scored, to give Rovers a 2-1 lead at half time.
Mikayla Binney-Cox took over in goal for the second half. Early pressure from
Da Silva earned them a second goal: 2-2. A ding dong battle ensued throughout
the second half: Mikayla made a fine save to keep her side in the hunt. Final
score 2:2: a good performance by both teams.
Player of the day was Jacob Hannan, who worked hard in attack and was robust
in defence.

Parkes was YG's player of the day.
