Hilltop 5 - 8 Old Swan

the derby match, personally i always expect a victory in this game. Old Swan are a decent team with two good players with speed and skill but rest of there team average. we came into the game with 2 key players missing(craig and ken) but had greame "the cat" back in goal so expectations before the game were high.
we started well moving into a early lead with rob providing the goals. hilltop looked quick and alert with good movement on and off the ball ..... but that wernt to last! weather it was we dropped in our performance or O.S upped theres we lost the lead and started playing silly long balls and giving the attcking player no support.
at the end of the 1st half we were lucky to be only a couple of goals behind with greame back in fine form keeping the scoreline not as steap. 2nd half started and as in the 1st we got a few goals early on coming from rob again who was having a great game also by keeping O.S's best player quiet. as the 2nd half came nearer to full time we lost any chance of gaining anything other out the game than a poor goal differance with silly mistakes and slow play in our passing and movement.
we really need to improve fitness were gettin out paced in too many games, weather you play 1 or 7 times a week we need to improve as individuals and a team, still alot of games left so lets improve and reach our highest possible league finish.

Goals: Rob (5)
Team: Burke, David, Foote, Graeme, Stimo, Ste, Rob
