Well at the end of last week’s report, I remarked that it would be interesting to see how long the cheerful sporting atmosphere of that game would continue into the season. It turned out the answer was about five minutes into the next game.
Barnstoneworth started the better and pretty much kept the ball in their attacking half for the first five minutes, making Beachside look as sluggish and disconnected as Australian broadband internet capability after the Liberals sabotaged the NBN. But soon enough Beachside found their rhythm and the game became a tightly fought contest. Barnstoneworth defended deep and in numbers, relying on the long ball over the top as their primary form of attack. The pace and skill level of the Barnstoneworth strikers made this a potentially effective strategy, but the Beachside defence gave their opponents little space to get free and Mr Lowy was always quick off his line to clear any balls he was called on for.
