University Laterals edged closer to the the Southern Championship 6
title with this 2-0 win over New Town Eagles at North Chigwell tonight.
The win put University one point ahead of second-placed
Beachside.
This University side boasted some great stars and
State representatives of the past, many of whom had won titles at the top level
in Tasmania.
Others, including Alexis Bull, are giving back to
the game by coaching at youth level.

It was worth coming out on such a blustery night to see
these players in action.
And, the floodlights at North Chigwell are far superior
to those at KGV Park and this made photography a pleasure.
Goalkeeper David Kruijver kept Eagles in the game in
the first half with an excellent save.
The closest University came to scoring was when they
hit the crossbar.
University hit the lead 5 minutes after the interval
with a superb goal when Stuart Collins chipped the ball over the keeper from
range.

Nigel Blundell added the second 14 minutes from the
end.
Substitutes Les Jackson and Scott Hadley did not get
a run.
Hadley ran the line, while the selectors probably felt
that Jackson had probably played enough games for University in his 50-year
career as he had bettered the 1,000-game mark earlier this year.
