The Ressies, full of confidence after their 5-0 round one win, took their first home win of the season – beating Plenty Valley 4-1, after goals from Gabby, Dino, Frankie and Martin.

Playing another strong game La Trobe took charge from start, and did not let the opposition come close to the goal – except for a lapse of concentration in the first half, where Plenty Valley scored on a rebound from a free kick.

In a game that got increasingly rough thanks to the pouring rain, and a somewhat biased referee (to use diplomatic terms), La Trobe stayed disciplined and calm to see their second win of the season.

The highlight of the game must have been the lead-up to 4-1 with Boz showcasing the “Berend’s two-step”, completely confusing his opponent outside the box, setting up yours truly charging in on the first post with a delicate left footed cross. A sweeper scoring on the pass from the stopper. Just beautiful…

The whole team should be commended on the defensive work put in to refuse the opposition any time on the ball, and our efficiency in front of the goal.
