Pilli Fart-On Marton

Two sublime goals from Jacob Healey & Squeak Psarras, in addition to an own goal from some guy, were enough to see LPFC 21's run off with a comfortable 3 - 1 victory at Kingswood park on a particularly warm saturday afternoon. The win provided an excellent boost of morale after the squads dissapointing trial match loss the previous week against the Bundeena Breakers.

The match began at a frantic pace with Pilli moving the ball around well, and it was no suprise the first goal came early on (much like kurtis [had to have a go at you kurt, you never bought that slab]). Healey played a beautiful one-two with last seasons' top goalscorer Alex Poulos, before taking a few controlled touches and placing the ball neatly into the keepers far top corner - a strike worthy of it's title as 'season opener' and not to mention Healey's first goal for the team.

As the half progressed Marton began working their way back from the brink - possibly due to a sense of complacency creeping into Pilli's game. It wasn't long until the Hammers drew level. Some guy kicked the ball to some other guy who then fluked it past Clayden. The sides remained one a piece for the rest of the half.

A seemingly revitalised Pilli side returned to the field, though it was not them who pulled the scoreline in their favour. Some guy tried to clear the ball and he put it into his own net. Lol.

Even though infront, Pilli continued to press the Hammers - who to their credit provided LPFC with a fair share of scares, but we won so who cares.

The matches final goal was a wonderous one. Pilli's little man Squeak deftly weaved his way through four opposition players, tucking the ball away ever so clamly to the keepers left - capping off a confident Pilli showing.

After an efficient perfromance, Pilli staff and players will need to ensure complacency does not settle within the squad for next weeks match against Georges River Tigers at the Berrie Dome. And can someone please remember to bring Will strepsils for his throat next time...
