Queens Park did run out the full match trying to search for that elusive goal but it just wasn't forthcoming. Fair credit to the visitors but Port Kennedy ran out 3 goals to nil winners.
On the issue of refereeing which seems to be a hot topic on the Facebook pages last few weeks; they go out there and give it their best for the 90. They are only human and will occasionally make a call that may or may not wash with the hosts, visitor or neither side. If you think you can do a better job than I suggest you contact Football West and sign up as a referee. The referee during this game had a solid game I thought but the calling on certain tackles did raise a few eyebrows as it switched between English Premier League style to Copa America style. So I could understand the coaching staff of both sides were a little annoyed by this. However the referee had a good game and all was played in great spirits despite Port Kennedy going to 10 men from a rather innocuous second yellow.
For a small crowd they certainly ate and drank their fair share! I didn't get the top shelf food on offer but the sausage roll I did have with tomato sauce (four dollars) was delicious despite the scolding conditions. I had to wait about 8 minutes for the thing to cool down! Wash that down with a 2 dollar coca cola and a corona for a fiver and you have a good afternoon down at Port Kennedy.
Port Kennedy certainly looked like a top four side but will find it hard to close the gap on second spot I think. You must feel sorry for Queens Park after a horrible season this year you can only think there is only one way from the bottom and that is up. A former state league club with such a proud history can come back from a season like this I am sure.
Would like to thank Port Kennedy for being great hosts and treating me to a solid match of football.
