B TEAM MATCH REPORT

ROUND 14
INGLE FARM vs ADELAIDE LIMNOS
WALKLEY PARK
SUNDAY, JULY 30th, 2006

Second-placed Ingle Farm Reserves overcame third-placed Adelaide Limnos Reserves when they defeated them 2 - 0 in the early match at Walkleys Park. Peter Bria got the all important goal that set up Farm's fine win today.

In blustery conditions, Farm opened the better in this match. The home team furiously attacked Limnos in the opening 10 minutes, earning corners and pressuring the visitors defence.

In the 15th minute, Farm's Steve Paterson turned sharply before shooting on the turn, only for his fine shot to be saved by the Limnos keeper.

Limnos however answered in the 20th minute when they had the ball in Farm's net, only for their tall striker to be ruled offside, and the goal disallowed.

Two minutes later Farm also had a goal disallowed for offside as unlucky Steve Paterson impressively belted the ball into the net before the referee blew his whistle and awarded the visitors a free kick.

Paterson's temper boiled when in the 30th minute the frustrated striker had another opportunity 15 yards out, only to get a bad bounce and the resulting shot was skied well above koala heights.

Vahid Rahmani, Duy Tran, Jason Keep, Peter Bria and Paterson all enjoyed good first halves for Farm.

Half time: Ingle Farm 0, Adelaide Limnos 0.

After the break, Limnos fought back into the match. Some determined play from the visitors took Farm out of its comfort zone with some hard running that set up several chances.

With half an hour to go, club veteran Peter King was substituted on. This seemed to bring Jarrad Rich and Peter Bria more into the match as Farm attacked once again.

In the 70th minute, Rich's magnificent run and cross found club liability Peter Bria who determinedly bundled the ball past the Limnos keeper. 1 - 0 to Farm.

The mood of the match suddenly changed, Limnos began to argue amongst themselves while Farm had their tails up and were looking to finish their hapless counterparts.

Vahid Rahmani made a good run forward for Farm in the 85th minute, and sealed the match with a 22 yard strike into the bottom corner of the Limnos goal. 2 - 0 to Farm.

Farm's Reserves Coach, Brian Toomer said after the match "It was a workmanlike display. Two top strikes from Peter Bria and Vahid Rahmani gave us the points against a good Limnos team."

"All our defenders played well today, and we look forward to a good tough game next week against West Beach," Toomer added.

Farm remain in second spot after the big win. The Reserves have now won 8 of their past 9 matches in league and cup.

Final Score: Ingle Farm 2, Adelaide Limnos 0.
