Gambier Centrals v International


Inter came away with the three points after defeating an unlucky Centrals side on Sunday, with the black and blue starting the game strong with an early penalty.


Matthew Bueti stepped up and converted the shot to put Inter up by a goal.


Soon after Gambier Centrals’ Bradley White was shown a second yellow card and sent off.


With one less player on the field, Centrals’ streak of bad luck continued as their top goal scorer Sam Shoemark suffered an injury and had to be subbed off.


Despite the unfortunate events Centrals continued to battle hard and kept the pressure on Inter with plenty of great runs and set pieces that put pressure on Inter’s defence.


Centrals conceded another goal late in the first half, this time coming from Federico Viezzer.


With half time in their sights Inter scored in the shadow of the break thanks to a goal from Cedar Sopha to be up by three at the change.


Centrals stood strong early in the second half as they tried to stop the bleeding, but Inter struck again as Samuel Bueti found the back of the net.


Inter was awarded another penalty with Matt Bueti stepping up to take the kick and scoring another goal to make it 5-0.


The Buetis continued to cause problems for Centrals as Sam scored another goal, followed by another goal from Matt – giving him a hat trick.


Centrals set about stemming the flow, despite being down by seven, and settled into a tough defensive rhythm where they managed to slow the Inter attack.


But with a man down they could not hold off the black and blue charge as Matt Bueti scored again.


Centrals finally found some good play as Brodey Koop scored to ruin Inter’s clean sheet.


In stoppage time Inter finished strong with a goal from Caleb Casey and another goal from Matt Bueti.


Gambier Centrals club president Shane Dycer said his side did it tough, particularly with the loss of Sam Shoemark during the game and the mountain of other injuries that occurred as the match progressed.


“It was a pretty disappointing day for us, we were already fighting a hard battle with 10 and Sam did a hamstring and will not play for a month,” he said.


“We ended up with both our central defenders and our centre forward injured and our centre midfielder sent off, so it was a tough day at the office.”


Inter defeated Centrals 10-1.


Blue Lake v Apollo


Blue Lake and Apollo shared the points on Sunday after two goals from the Rangers in the dying moments of the game.


Both sides battled hard in the first half with neither side able to get a goal on the board.


That changed late in the half as Apollo’s Caine Ellis gave his side a one goal lead heading into half time.


Blue Lake came out firing in the second half as Shar Nay Than equalised early and a few minutes later the Rangers won a corner and capitalised on the opportunity as Sae Nay Mya found the back of the net to give the Rangers a one goal lead.


Blue Lake’s lead did not last long as Kar Nilar made the costly mistake of an own goal to tie the game two goals a piece.


Apollo took back the lead in the 70th minute thanks to a Billy Pearce goal before Pearce came up big again two minutes later with another goal to give Apollo a two goal lead.


Apollo did well to hold off Blue Lake’s relentless pressure as they tried hard to get back into the game.


Apollo’s defence broke down in the 90th minute as Blue Lake got a goal back from Shar Nay Than, making it a one goal game.


Two minutes into extra time Blue Lake’s Moo Bya Say scored the equalising goal which resulted in both sides sharing the points.


Blue Lake and Apollo drew 4-4.

After some back and forth play Blue Lake broke Apollo’s defence with Chelsea Frost denying Apollo the clean sheet and giving her side a chance of taking some points.
