QCSA SM1 – Rd.10 Wrap Up – Sat. 11th July 2015
Whitehill battled it out with North Pine Baptist but went down 4-2 in a free-scoring encounter.
After losing to Logan Metro at home earlier in the year, Brisbane Athletic were better prepared this time and had a convincing 7-1 away from home.
Sunnybank Saints bounced back to winning ways with a strong 3-1 win at the Spanish Club against the Latin Golden Boys.
Mansfield Eagles also hit their straps with a solid 4-2 away to Blackstone United, and in doing so, may have ended the hosts dreams of playing in this year’s finals.
The final game of Round 10 saw the equal top teams battle it out at Yandina Park. Unfortunately, for the young visiting team their chances were dampened as they were missing a few of the more experienced team leaders. The strong team ethic and persistent pressure applied by St Pauls found the visitors, Westminster Warriors wanting, and for the first time this year they fell apart with individual play and ill-discipline coming to the fore. As a result they were comprehensively beaten, even though the 2-0 score-line was quite flattering. Excellent headers to Ringo Chang and Dale O’Connell, one in each half, was enough for St Pauls to take outright leadership again.
With suspensions and injuries plaguing the young men from out west, the game against Brisbane Athletic next week will effectively be a 6 point game and the team who wins will continue their charge for the championship. For the loser, they may need to start concentrating on finals football.
