Round 1 (Match Report – U21): Langwarrin 2 vs North 1
Round 1 (Match Report – U21): Langwarrin 2 vs North 1
An entertaining start to the season at Lawton Park Reserve saw last year’s top 2 teams battle it out for the first 3 points of the campaign. The game was played at a great pace, with end to end action for 90 minutes. The young Warriors took the lead through William Nack. However Langy would not be denied and in the second half they come out hungry looking for the equaliser. They were rewarded for the efforts with a well worked goal. With the final whistle approaching, a draw looked like the most likely result, however, Langwarrin proved to be the hungrier of the two teams and scored in what was literally the last kick of the game. A very disappointing score, where in fairness a draw seemed the very least the Warriors deserved.
