Palace Casuals

[talisman]

League Round 20, away at Alderson FC, in Woombye, Australia. Level 23, AQ -2.0
Palace Casuals' longest journey of the season took them to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, and they left wishing they had more time to enjoy it. Playing 4-5-1V against 4-4-2C, the first-half was heavy going for the visitors. Look for the double digit minutes ending '7' - 17th minute, Alderson take the lead through Rios - 27th minute, Johan Shaqiri nods in a Reda Mourad cross to equalise - 37th minute, the hosts take the lead again through Garcia. It was obvious that attacking wasn't working, so the Management decided to lock it down for the second-half and went defensive/counter, and the tables turned. Omar Hansen comes into the game, turning in a Shaqiri cross for the equaliser in the 51st minute and then putting Casuals in the lead for the first time with a 30 yard pile driver. Over to the defence, and the back four put in a sterling performance in keeping the home strike force at bay and preserve the lead. Late on, Anurak Arma picks up a yellow card, the first of any sort for the Casuals for 11 games, and will miss the next game.
