Lions Edge Past Forrestfield

A warm and sunny Saturday afternoon at Rosalie Park played host to Subiaco Lions and Forrestfield United in the final round 24 of the National Premier Leagues Western Australia division. The visitors were in control early with a penalty earned on the ninth minute, which was slotted home to open the account. But the visitors struggled to take advantage of their dominance at Rosalie by failing to take their chances.

The hosts levelled the match with a 39th minute strike, which looked like Subiaco were going to take control of the game away from Forrestfield after this turn in the game. However, Forrestfield continued to press for a second goal but it just didn't come about after numerous chances went begging during the second half. Subiaco punished them for their wasted opportunities by scoring their second deep into stoppage time to deal a cruel blow to Forrestfield, who felt they were going to walk away with shared points.

As my arrival to the game was slightly rushed and the depleted supplies of the canteen, I opted for a can of coke and a packet of smiths for 5 dollars in total. Not bad for just a snack while watching the game at a venue, that is really not anywhere near NPL standard, let alone trying to be remotely close to said standard. Hopefully this changes in the near future.
