FULL TIME AT FROG HOLLOW 🌹
The seniors started brightly, taking the lead inside three minutes after a Charlie Gunning cross was helped on by Connor Wharton and bundled over the line by Jack Heseltine. The Buds created chances early, before the game became scrappy and Duncan McPherson was shown red just before half-time.
With 45 minutes to play down to ten men, the boys stayed organised, disciplined, and worked right through to the final whistle. Enzo Rosenblum made save after save to keep us in the contest, before Riversdale found their equaliser midway through the second half. Not the result we wanted, but a point earned through effort.
The reserves put in one of their best footballing performances of the year, playing calm, quick, and controlled football from back to front. Naish opened the scoring with a composed finish into the far corner, before Ollie Brown grabbed his first of the season with a proper striker’s finish to seal a strong 2-1 win.
That result marks the reserves’ second win of the season, and a deserved reward for the football they played on the day.
Saturday also saw Stu Johnston join Hatzi on the sidelines as co-coach, helping guide the reserves group as they continue to develop.
We go again.
Up the Budders 🌹
