Sunshine George Cross

In a thrilling game at Churchill Reserve the Georgies got a well deserved win to
earn their first points for the season.

The game between the two Western Suburbs sides didn't disaapoint with an
 entertaining 90 minutes of football.  For the Georgies this was a must win
game especially after last weeks disappoint loss to Box Hill.

Box Hill United began the game scoring within the first minute of kick off.  From the outset it was quite clear that the experienced Box Hill team would be pressing to make it extremely difficult for their younger opponents.

The Georgies took on newly prompted side Box Hill in Round 1 of the regular
season at Chaplin Reserve on Sunday.

The game started at a frantic pace with both sides taking their time to settle
and both sides turning the ball over on numerous occassions early on.  Box Hill
started to get the upper hand mid way through the first half and tested
Georgies Goal Keeper Robert Santilli on several occasions who was equal to the
 task denying the opposition the opening goal.  The Georgies were very limited
to their opportunties on goal in the first half and lack cohesion in their overall play. 
Box Hill's persistence payed off when their player was allowed to turn the Georgies
defence inside out and tucked the ball away at close range to make the
score 1 - 0 to Box Hill in the first half.

The Seniors and 21's Shirt Presentation was held on Saturday night with a great
show of support for all our Reserve and Senior players. 

The club would like to thank all those who attended a great evening.
