After 7 rounds, the ladder is starting to look pretty set
for the top three, with a fight developing for the final spot for the finals.
Riverside and Somerset have some breathing space now with
Devonport and Rangers drawing, while that result is great for the chasing pack
hunting down fourth spot.
Devonport's Dan McGinn controls in front of John Wani for Rangers |
Ulverstone looked sharp in their match today against
Prospect, controlling most of the game, it wasn’t until Van Asch was sent off for
defending his team mate Jarvis, that Prospect started to play really controlled
passing football.
Ulverstone attacked well in wide areas and found two goals
from cut backs, while their sole second half goal was a fine drive from their
midfield off the boot of Lang.
Prospect looked like they might have clawed the lead back
early in the second half when two shots narrowly missed their target, having
beaten Smith in Ulverstone’s goal.
The 3-0 away win to Ulverstone leap frogs Prospect into
sixth spot on the table.
Launceston United had a weekend to forget, succumbing to 3
send offs in their match with Riverside, but the damage was already done with
Riverside leading 3-0 before the unusual events took place.
5-0 win to Riverside cements them in top spot, despite the
big turnaround from Somerset.
The Sharks gave City a lesson in football and goal scoring,
bagging 12 goals against their younger opposition, who were reduced to 10 men
before you could blink, making the big task insurmountable for Lino and his
lads. 12-1 the final score at Shark Park.
Rangers and Devonport played out a 2 all draw after the
first hour was scoreless. Devonport
opening the scoring through a McGinn free kick just outside the area, before
Stef Hamilton drove a shot after he made his way up field from right back. Chris Collins put Rangers ahead from the
corner but Devonport headed home shortly after to put things all square and he
final result.
Riverside have only play 6 should be equal on points with Somerset, with the sharks having a bye this week and Riverside playing Prospect?
ReplyDeleteI have removed, I just took of sporting pulse and assumed no results had been entered to table, so put them in manually, will leave it until SP updates.
ReplyDeleteThe Riverside v Launceston game was fairly even with both teams creating chances, went downhill with the score at 2 nil to Riverside when the 3 players were sent off, an unbelievable 5 minutes to watch
ReplyDeleteUnited didnt get a shot on target, so I dont see how it was fairly even..
Deleteand when it was 2 nil riverside had one shot on target... yes not a typo one shot. so that's fairly even isn't it
DeleteNice write up guys, No one sent off at Somerset V Launceston City though.
ReplyDeleteThat ladder doesn't quite look right!
ReplyDeleteWhoever reckons that the Launceston v Riverside game was 'fairly even' probably thinks Launceston United have been 'fairly successful' over the last 5 years...
ReplyDeletewell im not sure about that, maybe you were there watching or maybe not, but I was and that's how I saw the game
DeleteIs it true that Cox and Donk have been in talks with Ulversotne regarding next year. Playing and coaching roles. Bit early fellas.
ReplyDeleteI am in constant talks with a wide range of folk Ben, you know that!
ReplyDeleteDid you receive your email Footy? If not i will call you, We are having a players meet and greet in September. Got to get in early....
DeleteNot a bad combo at all Ben, maybe Ulverstone could be pro active and look at this if it is not true. 2 premiership players back when the NPL was at its best. I like it...
