The early match was a very even affair with both teams having chances, even allowing for missing players. It remained nil all at the break and just when it looked like the points would be shared a direct pass from Flat Dogs right attack found Andrew Brewin on the off post for a well controlled deflection into the goal with 4 minutes left on the clock. Blues went on the attack in search of the equaliser only to see the ball lost and the resulting attack from Flat Dogs ended in a penalty corner which Darren White scored to see them run our 2 goals to nil winners.

The late game was very similar with waves of attack from both Buccs and South Park with their respective keepers denying a goal. Mid way through the  half a run from Buccs right midfield resulted in a pass to the middle of the circle where Alistair Ward's deft touch beat the keeper to see Buccs go to the break with the lead.  South Park responded from the start of the second half with a number of breaks and just when it looked like they had run out of chances Matt Beveridge, their left striker was onhand to score  a well taken shot to equalise. With time running down Buccs had the ball in the attacking 23 area but a block and quick clearance saw the ball passed long to the other end  of the field where Brice Lowen was onhand to beat Buccs keeper with a well taken shot. South Park have now joined Blues on top of the ladder with 3 rounds to play when the competition resumes in August after the National Championships.

Remember the next 3 weeks will be played as black v white from 7 pm  with the cost $10 pp each week.
