Seniors back on top
Monday, 29 June 2009

Southern Suburbs is back on top of the table after a 2-0 win on Sunday against North Caulfield. SS put in a solid performance and could have won by a larger margin however the club is very satisfied with the 3 points.

SS began the game well creating a number of half chances before scoring a fantastic opening goal. Greg Giannakopoulos made a great 50 meter run down the wing before delivering a pin point cross for Andrew Strepelias to volley into the net. SS should have increased their lead just before half time when Robbie Nicovski found himself through on goal however his shot was saved by the keeper and then Con Tzoumanekas follow up shot was just wide of the upright.

The second half saw North Caulfield come more into the game however they didn't really test the SS defence or keeper. With 15 minutes to go a great move by SS opened up the North Caulfield defence and full back Michael Parisotto saw his close range shot saved before Tas Tzimos placed the rebound into the bottom corner to give SS a 2-0 lead. A couple of late SS chances nearly increased the lead however the score remained at 2-0 with the 3 points safely tucked away. The large travelling contingent of SS fans at the game were treated to some excellent individual performances from many players that contributed to the impressive team performance.

Unfortunately the reserves put in a disappointing performance to lose 4-0 however it was good to see a couple of players coming back from injury and getting some minutes under their belt.
