The Under 12B team headed over to the Veneto Club knowing that a win was a must in order to stay in touch with League leaders Doncaster. The day was cold & windy with rain threatening. The boys were keen to make it 2 out of 2 for Box Hill teams over at Bulleen after hearing that the Under 11A’s had won 1-0.
Box Hill applied the early pressure & this resulted in a well taken goal by Jesse to make it 1-0 to Box Hill. Bulleen. The goal prompted the Bulleen boys & they started to challenge for the 50-50 balls & penetrate the Box Hill defences. This resulted in them pouncing on a loose ball in the box to even the scores 1-1. They followed this up with another goal on the break down the left side of the pitch to make it 2-1 to them & continued to dictate the game. The whistle went for half time with the score reading Bulleen 2 Box Hill 1.
The message from the coach was delivered loud & clear to the Box Hill boys to compete, pressure & win the ball all over the park. The boys did this and started to wrest control back from the Bulleen lads. Both teams were evenly matched with Box Hill attacking well however the Bulleen defence was up for the task. The pressure from Box Hill eventually paid dividends when Devon burst into the box & slotted away the ball to make it 2 -2. Box Hill continued to pressure as the mid-field were winning more of the ball as were the defence when under pressure. Another attack resulted in a shot on goal which the Bulleen Keeper spilled & which Josh put away to make it 3-2. Bulleen went in search of an equaliser & from a corner the ball was pinging around in the box but was eventually cleared. The full time whistle went and the Box Hill boys celebrated a well earned win against a determined Bulleen team.
Well done to both the coaches & the boys for a great result.
