Marquis Of Lorne 5 v 1 Lion's

Lion's Eleven: Gardner, French, P.Farr, Jordan, D.Farr, Griffin, Fildes, Jenkins, Chad?, Harrison, Weeks.
The Lion's start their tenth season in transition and in Division Two. The away game to Lorne gave debut to two youngers who have recently joined the squad, Scott Jenkins and Chad.
Breachwood started brightly with some early shots.
The turning point of the game was undoubtedly when Griffin was judged to of deliberately handled the ball inside his own area. The Lorne No10 put the ball into the bottom left corner out of Gardners reach. Despite a number of great Man of the Match saves from Gardner and some well defended corners, Breachwood found themselves 4 nil down at halftime.
The second half was an even match, Lorne scored again, but the Lion's never gave up and battled for every ball, Griffin and Fildes pushed forward, Harrison headed just over the bar, but it was Michael Weeks right foot shot from the edge of the area that got the consolation goal for the Lions.
