Dorchester Magpies 5  SMYFC 0

The game was fairly evenly fought for much of match with Stur going behind just before half time. Dorchester caught Stur napping straight after the second half kick off and went two ahead. Stur could not covert the many chances they had in front of goal and in pushing forward were caught on the break as Dorchester went three up. Despite playing well Stur struggled to get back into the game and the last two goals were as a result of simple mistakes. Ryan played well and had to retire injured late in the second half, Jack persisted for the entire game working hard continuously and was named Man Of the Match.

Even the opposition Coach remarked the score line didn't do Stur justice. We played better than the result indicated, with plenty of good movement and passing, we just couldn't managed that final finish and get the early goals that can often determine the outcome of the game. Frustrating as it can be, knowing we are capable of better and have done so in the past, sometimes it's just not your day, and for no particular reason nothing goes your way and today felt like one of those days. We did better maintaining our discipline by keeping our positions, but we did loose our concentration and we need to work on making the most of opportunities that come our way, particularly when we receive the ball from opposition goalkicks which are golden scoring opportunities.
