Magic U23 Make it 3 in a Row, 18's Unfortunate
Monday, September 14, 2009 (0 reads)

On a hot Sunday in September, U23's made it 3 Major Premierships in a row. It was a tough match, with both keepers getting a work out, however it was Edgie who broke the deadlock. A few shrewd subs by out-going coach Chris Turner with Roger Dowdell and Taiki Nakayama stretching the Edgie defense and Cameron Aspinall supporting behind. Magic were unlucky to level soon after when Roger pounced on a Dean Conway fumble but was somehow ruled offside in the scramble.
But the Magic kept coming and there was an ominous feeling around the ground as it became more and more apparent that it was a case of when rather then if Magic would equalize. And equalize we did through a Roger Dowdell jab into the side netting. Redemption came with 3 minutes remaining for Taiki Nakayama. Taiki made no mistake and struck the ball through the crowd of legs at a corner to ripple the net sending the putters and irons flying into the air ( First Grade Silly Sunday reference there).
A great effort from all the boys, showing heart, determination and never doubting the result. Special mentions go to; Mark Jones having missed the 2007 and 2008 Grand Finals through injury, third time was the charm. A class act Gilbert Afful was beaming when taking photos with his young son holding his third Reserve Grade medallion. Lion heart Joshua Small took out the players player award, his tireless work rate, awareness and positioning set the foundation for all midfield advances.

Under 18's took on Hamilton earlier in the day, no 1 team dominated this match and penalties looked a definite possibility. Both teams lacked that final polish, a great one on one save by Magic Stand-in Keeper Matty Zuccon when the Hamilton attacker seemed the freeze only yards off the line. Down the other end Magic were getting no luck with many Diaz and Radford runs being flagged under the tighest of margins. The addition of Mitchell O'Dell saw some good passing build up behind the strikers, but it was hamilton long ball and a dubious line call that broke the hearts of the Magic Youth. When the Hamilton attacker dribbled to the line and cut back after the ball crossed the line by almost a foot, a sick feeling into the hearts of all the boys in red. The disappointment was evident at full time, the boys were gutted, and the linesman was still trying to make it to the by-line in time. The boys will be better for the experience however, these are a talented group of guys that truly demonstrated through the year that there's no "I" in team. Well Done Magic.
