Stirling were in control for vast passages of play against Subiaco, however the National Premier League new comers wouldn't go down without a fight. Subiaco had some opportunities let slip but Stirling's golden opportunities were blazed either high or wide and the score remained 3-1.
The later game between Shamrock Rovers and Balcatta was a tight affair which kept the neutrals thoroughly entertained. Shamrock kept nipping at the heels of Balcatta and after conceding would peg one back to keep them in the hunt to finally be beaten towards the end of the second half. Shamrock had some chances slip away with some brilliant last ditch defending from Balcatta where it looked certain a goal would be scored. Full credit to the invitees for providing Balcatta with a pre-season work out. Balcatta ran out 3-2 winners at full time to keep them in the top two of group B.
As usual the food here was wonderful. Burger was delicious and very fresh, presentation not ideal as i thought half my burger was missing but was all there and did it hit the spot. Chips compared to Dorrien were delicious and admittedly I added more chicken salt than I should have but when the sun goes down and the summer nights get cold nice piping hot chips are a treat. Throw in Emu Export at 5 dollars and soft drink for $2.50 and you have yourself a great evening out that would really put some over-priced pretentious pubs to shame for a no-nonsense feed and affordable drink and to enjoy the great Perth summer evenings.
