The opening match was a close encounter with the game being controlled by both sides but they could never really dominate their opponent. Balcatta managed to level the score and hold Bayswater to 2 goals each. However it would be the following game that would have everyone talking.
Floreat Athena took Stirling apart in a first half of destruction. To be honest it was painful to watch and the worst performance I have ever seen from a NPLWAU side in many many years. Floreat were just too strong and put 6 very easy goals past a non existent Stirling in the first half. The home crowd were thoroughly thrilled at the score and there was quite a turn up for this night of football which was great to see.
The second half was much better for Stirling as they sure up their defence and tried to push for at least a salvage goal to save their first half embarrassments. Stirling did however manage to score two quick goals in the last 10 minutes with some good attacking play but it was far too little far too late. The score ended 6-2
Once again food delivered at Litis, but for pre-season it wasn't quite up to its match best. However the kebab with chilli is high on the list for any guest to try. With it priced the same as any other establishment in the city it was worth the price and to have you wanting more is a great sign the kitchen staff are once again doing a fantastic job! The chips were a little on the plain side but its only pre-season, the four dollar tag probably just a bit too high. Cool drink was at the stock standard $2.50.
Mythos, Tooheys extra Dry, Carlton Draught and Emu Export were all 5 dollars which is an absolute bargain. To watch football and have a great meal over a kebab and drink is an excellent combination. I really cannot see why more people are not going to Litis?
So there wraps up another night of eventful Night Series. I hope that people in and around Perth who want to see some football between the A-League and other football on TV should get down to venues like Litis.
