SOME great soccer and fantastic sportsmanship were displayed in Round 2 of the Esperance Soccer Association. In the Under 11s Worth Kerbing Brumbies took on the Hot FM Scorpions in what was a well-matched game. The spectators were entertained with some fine footwork by the Scorpions and some big kicking by the Brumbies.
In the Under 14s, Burnetts Earthmoving Sharks took on the Farm & General Redbacks in an exciting game that saw some hard running from both sides. The Redbacks displayed great team work, utilising their players well. The Sharks, working well in defence, kept the ball pushed up to their forwards making many attempts to score but the keen, Redback defenders stopped the ball from crossing the line. The first goal of the game was scored by Reece after fantastic team work by the Sharks. The Sharks worked hard keeping the ball in their half in the second half but Redback goalie, Jack, wasn’t going to be intimidated in any way. The first goal for the Redbacks was run down the field and sent into the goals by Alex despite tremendous effort by the Sharks to stop him. It was an exciting game that ended in a 1 all draw.
