La Trobe Uni’s Reserves team came out on the pitch eager to start the postponed season. With a mix of young and old the team was a little bit insecure where it was standing.

This changed quickly with Marco and Dino (first game in 8 years!) taking charge of the midfield. The game was not long gone when Marco (one of the smaller players on the ground) showed unknown talents and put away 1-0 with a beautiful header, from a perfect corner crossed in by Carlos.

Keeping the pressure up, Marco delicately put away 2-0 after a strong run into the box, assisted by Dave. Some quality one-touch football between Dave, Marco and Dino saw the latter beating the goalkeeper for the first time in 8 years to make it 3-0. Not much later Dave made it 4-0.

The second half was considerably slower and sloppier, but La Trobe controlled the game well, scoring 5-0 before full time. Dave had a strong game up front, as well as Dino and Marco in midfield, and Boz and Mickey L in the defence.

All in all a beauty of a start to the season!
