It was a slow start again for Maroons against a well organised Yellows side who took the lead with one of the goals of the little league season so far. The strike from outside the box left Jack B with no chance in goal as it flew into the top corner.
Maroons seemed stunned by this set back and despite some individual attempts on goal, it wasn't until the last minute of the half that an excellent turn and snap shot from Spencer brought them level.
At half time Paul and Chris reminded the team what makes them so good, playing for each other and passing the ball. In the second half they responded with a far more impressive display. Jack B gave Maroons the lead early in the half after some quick interplay saw the ball come across the box allowing him to side foot into an empty net.
The best team goal of the day doubled the advantage with Riley knocking the ball out to Jack B on the wing who crossed to Josh who beat his man and pulled it back to Jack B now on the edge of the box who fed Dorrell for the first.
From the restart Maroons won possession and forced the ball into the box for Josh scored from an acute angle. In this more comfortable position Maroons started to knock it around with confidence, with Dorrell scoring two more back to back to gain a second half hat-trick and man of the match. Jack B made it seven late on with a drive from just inside the box.
With another fixture against Royal Blues coming up Maroons will need to remember what made the difference between their first and second half performance. TEAMWORK AND PASSING!
