Division One (Reserve Grade)
Woonona Sharks 1 (0) – (2) 2 Balgownie Rangers
J. Zakara  1, P. Lukin 1

Yet another different lineup for Reserve Grade, with Alan Appleby, Rich Astone and Ben Zentrich all out, Daniel Lewis came in to captain the side, Dale back from 1st’s and Anthony Oliver and Brent Wilson came into the back line. Overcast, with periods of light rain and sunshine poking through through out the game.

Ocean Park is always difficult to play at and Woonona are always a strong side and today was no different. The Sharks seemed to have all the ball in the first half and saw them unleash a few shots which were superbly deflected away by Apples Snr in goals. Zac had two early chances that went inches wide. The two goals came from the very limited posession we had and against the run of play but were well worked. Brent fired in a free kick from in our own half, the Woonona ‘keeper let it slip through his hands and in the ensuing goal moluth scramble, Jason Zakara poked home the goal for Bally to go one up. A short time later Peter Lukin was on the scoresheet after some great lead-up work from Traka and then a beautifal flick-on header from Dale, gave Zak an opportunity to lay-off for Peter who made no mistake from close range.

Bally picked up a little more posession in the second half, but a lapse in concentration in the middle of the park saw Woonona quickly counter and their tall striker put one around Apples. That gave Woonona some much needed spark and they dominated the remaining 10 minutes with some good shots on goal, one hitting the post and another save and some desperate defending kept Woonona out.

It has been a while since Reserve Grade have won away to Woonona, so a good 3 points for us keeps us up near the top of the table.
