Knox Churches Soccer Club
Senior Team Match Reports - 15th July 2007
In heavy conditions at its Knox Park home ground, the Knox Churches Force were able to maintain third position on the ladder with an impressive two nil victory against an extremely competitive North Blackburn Baptists side.
The halftime score of nil all was a true reflection of how even the contest was, with neither team dominating proceedings. Over the last week, the Knox Force coaching staff had astutely identified weaknesses in its passing game and overall fitness, and the hard work on the training track in these key areas began to pay dividends in the second half.
The Knox Force began to maintain possession for long periods and run the hapless North Blackburn to exhaustion. Jan De Kretser got the Force off the mark, finishing off his brother Sean's mazy run on the right wing. Knox doubled its advantage when Matthew Visser whipped in an early cross from the left and Tim De Graaf made his delicate touch look easy, steering the ball between the narrowest of gaps between the goalkeeper and the near post.
The Knox Strikers remain on the bottom of the ladder, going down 0-2 to Glen Eira in division two. The Knox Pride made it two wins a row, winning 3-1 against North Blackburn in division four. The Knox Power were on the wrong end of a 7-0 thumping against Berwick in division six and Nicole Doedens slammed home two impressive goals in the Knox Ladies 3-1 victory over Yarra Valley.
