Beachside looking quality so far.

dissapointed with beach coach advising to keep defending but after first 30 minutes third they had 1 up front anf 20-25 metre gap to midfield who were chasing the ball. I don't think if they had 15 on the pitch it would make a difference.

personnel missing would make no difference.

Beachside had 13 players available not many with senior experience, first 30 was 1 - 0 from a basic passing error 90% possession to sthn, must have had 18 quality players .. great to watch.. Beach stuck to a defensive system that will frustrate lesser teams still lacking forward movement but shoudl have scored at least one and had a penatly that could have been given.. Sth look the goods again..

three 30 min thirds - south played three diferent line ups and three different systems. All looked strong.

Beachside played their entire squad in their own box. Only option really with the personel on display. Anon 9.34 is right that this may frustrate some lower teams, but it is going to be a long season for Beach when injury and lack of success takes its toll.
