Round 5 A’s Match Report

// January 10th, 2010 // Season 2009/2010

08.11.2009

It was Round 5 on the FAWA calendar, the last game of the first set of round robin games. The Revolution Sharks were pitted against the WA Kookas. The first period started started on a high for the Sharks, when two and a half minutes into the period Keith Tan, our player #27 was awarded a delayed penalty shot. It was our Singaporean Shark, a keen goal-scorer, vs the Czech goalie Vladimir Plocek, Australian Champion at the AFO 2009 Tournament. It looked like a sure goal but alas Plocek prevailed and the score remained unchanged at 0-0.

The Kookas had the Sharks defense in the pressure-cooker, firing off a huge 15 shots, compared to our three shots in the first period. Only one shot got through either defense at 10mins52 (goal: #11 David Westlund, assist: #2 Lucas Westlund.)

The second period was just as gruelling in defense, which is an unusual behavior for the Kookas as a club, who usually play a more defensive game. They fired off another 14 clean shots, and had another four which missed, or hit the post. The Sharks responded well, scoring an early goal at 1min31 (goal: #2 Lucas Westlund, no assist) which was answered by a Kookas goal shortly thereafter at 2mins08 (goal: K#3 Tania Perpoli, no assist.). Kookas took control of the period from that point onwards, scoring three more goals in the period at 3mins25 (goal: K#22 Roger Sallaenbach, assist: K#3 Tania Perpoli), another at 17mins07 (goal: K#8 Timothy Campbell, assist: K#22 Roger Sallaenbach) and finally at 18mins28 (goal: K#8 Timothy Campbell, assist: K#22 Roger Sallaenbach). The Kookas had a convincing lead closing the second period with the score at 2-4 (Sharks-Kookas).

The third period was upon us, it was the time to take back the game. It was a hard battle, the first goal of the period was scored by our #2 Lucas Westlund assisted by captain Patrick Baster at 11mins22. Sharks were regaining the game when Don O’Brien, our #10 was given a two minute penalty for “Holding” at 13mins37. Although the Kookas had the advantage in numbers they didn’t take advantage of their opportunity, almost conceding a goal to #11 David Westlund. With a mere 1min23 to go the Sharks scored the equalising goal in a delayed penalty shot taken by David.

A nail-biting game!
