Jeso @ Muswellbrook. Reggies 2-2. Again we were poor, didn't get out of the blocks and found ourselves 0-2 before coming back to equalise and probably should have won.

1sts 2-1. Pretty good game I think, which I guess is easier to say from the winning side. Had some quality football, two good teams with a sprinkling of some of the comps best players and 2 teams that were prepared to dig in and have a go. If I had to be a tad of a sook I'd say our striker did get excessively fouled but all's good.

We dominated the first 25 minutes and probably should have scored more than just the one goal, of which came from a good shot parried by the 'keeper and finished with a tap-in. The equaliser then came and Muswellbrook had the best of the remainder of the half, however probably not quite as dominant as we had been. There goal was well worked down the right for a tap in at the back stick from a cut back.

Second half was pretty even overall with both sides having good spells. Our goal came from a free kick headed home. We did have a penalty saved which was going close to top corner. Very impressive 'keeping and made the final 20 minutes of the game all that more exciting. Would have been 3-1 and some breathing space. Bit lucky not to see red as a clear hack from behind as last man on a striker about to pull the trigger inside the box. Ref saw it as he did though and we'll move on, didn't cost us in the end and the other bloke gets to play this weekend.

Cheers to Muswellbrook who had a beer, chat and laugh with us at their sponsors and we awarded players together and had a skull-off which I think may be becoming a bit of a tradition. I'd recommend other clubs making the effort to drop in, they're a good bunch. Good bus trip home and I think we're nursing a few sore heads today, especially with a few of us kicking onto Wests until the early hours.
Lastly, I don't need to mention his name because he knows who he is - cheers to the 'Brook player who took genuine interest in the well-being of our player who had busted his eye open pretty badly. He knew what to do and was happy to help.
