Intermediate soccer report, May 5, 2015

In cold and slippery conditions after days of sporadic rain, the SPC Intermediate soccer squad took on Ballarat High School on the Shed Oval.-

BHS arrived with only seven players, and five SPC players volunteered to fill the ranks of their depleted squad over both halves and all contributed well to that cause.-

These players were Cade Rieniets, Dil Shah, Jesse Pinches, Riley Cartledge and Ryan Andrew (all received Best and Fairest votes for their good sportsmanship).-

St Pat’s started confidently and dominated the entire game, with the back line in particular showing great improvement on previous weeks.-

Striker Mitch Ralston opened the scoring in the fifth minute, replicating his first goal with a second in the twelfth minute.-

Play from a corner allowed Ryan Andrew to place a textbook header into the BHS goal.-

Liam Wakefield scored our fourth just before half time, taking on the BHS keeper and ‘walking it in’.-

SPC conceded a penalty early in the second half, which was answered by another Liam Wakefield goal courtesy of a great assist by Josh Boehm.-

On-coming striker Eden Huggett answered BHS’s second goal, sealing the win at 6-2.
