Northern Power vs Western Dynamo
at the Robbham Arena

In the opening game of the Second Round, Northern Power hosted the Dynamo with a hope to avenge their opening day loss..

The Power dominated the opening but it was the Dynamo who got on the board first with a dubious penalty to Striker David Kennett..

Powers problems were compounded when Travis Demeza was shown a 2nd yellow..

Power changed tactic in an attempt to get back the goal, however it didnt work as the Dynamo were again on the fortunate end of a dubious decision. This time a free kick which was hit by Roberts and Kennett met it with a precision header to score his 2nd..

Things got worse for the Power on the stroke of half time when Mika Vayrynen slotted one past keeper Blake Donald to send them down 3 nil at the break..

Any hope of a repeat from the Swell game though was not on the agenda for the Power as they were unable to make any inroads with a man down..

Dynamo however evened the stakes when Mika Vayrynen produced an ugly foul and was red carded. Vayrynen had to be dragged away by his team mates as he furiously protested with Referee Massimo De Santis..

The game never reached any great heights after that with both teams looking very flat..

FINAL SCORE
Code:
Northern Power 0 - 3 Western Dynamo
Travis_Demeza (sent off 22)     David_Kennett (16 pen,39)
                               Mika_Vayrynen (47)
                               Mika_Vayrynen (sent off 60)

David_Kennett (Western Dynamo) (man of the match)
HT: 0-3

East Coast Fury vs Central United
at the Cricketweb Stadium


Central Travelled to the East to meet the fury in a match that could well see the Fury into the Final..

Fury's plans were in tatters after 17 minutes when Defender Hitsoshi Okada was carried off the pitch creating havoc with the formation..

The game was close until the 45th minute when Stephen Burke was Red Carded in his 1st game back from Suspension after Head-Butting Furys Nathan Hoy..

Amazingly though it sparked United and when Fury Keeper Ryan Dunn cut down Matt Currie and was red carded, and the subsequent penalty slotted away United were up 1-0 at the break..

After the break Both teams had chances but neither could crack one, until the 75th Minute when Sriram made all the work himself and slotted home the winner for United..

A good win for United, but both teams have some issues that need sorting before the season gets underway...

FINAL SCORE

Code:
East Coast Fury 0 - 2 Central United
Hits_Okada (injured 17)       Stephen_Burke (sent off 45)
Ryan_Dunn (sent off 45)       Daniel_Smith (47 pen)
                                                 G_Sriram (75)
                                                 G_Sriram (injured 88)

Daniel_Smith (Central United) (man of the match)
HT: 0-1

Dissappointing Loss for the Fury. I'm sure the ref was against us :dry:

Seems as if it was a pretty poor game allround though, very few attempts on goal. Lets pick it up next game East Coast, we want that final spot!!

Good for Dynamo to get a comprehensive win even though we weren't playing the greatest football, good signs from our strikers. Had a completely unremarkable game myself, though, need to remedy that against the swell.
