Mount Oval Show Intent

Mount Oval Show Intent

Having been well beaten the previous week by The Wanted, Mount Oval needed to get back to winning ways this week against Bayer Neverlusen to maintain their challenge for the division two title. They started the game well and created some good chances early on but the Neverlusen goalkeeper, Angelo Di Corcia was always able to deal with the Mount Oval efforts. On the one occasion that Angel was beaten, Anthony Dempsey made a miraculous save to cover for his keeper. Eventually, towards the end of the first half Tomas Radilek scored a super goal for Mount Oval. One would have thought that Mount Oval would have went on from there to easily win but that was not the case. It was Bayer Neverlosin who began to create the best chances until eventually they equalised with a magnificent goal from John Cadogan.

With twenty minutes remaining Brian Connell began to become more influential for Mount Oval and slowly but surely they began to control the match more and more. They took the lead again when Robert Kriegal scored a brilliant goal which resulted from a counter attack after a Neverlosin corner and involved some great inter play between Connell, Radilek and Kriegal. The last twenty minutes was one way traffic and Radilek went on to score three more goals.
