Mens 2s beat NC Raiders 4-1

The Rockingham Redbacks Mens 2s beat NC Raiders 4-1.

The Redbacks played a solid game, penetrating the Raiders’ defence on a number of occasions and earing short corners.

At the 15 minute mark, Jame Williams had to leave the field after getting hit in the head, which caused a wound requiring eight stitches.

Soon after, from a scramble in the D, Jordan Barrodean lifted the ball over the keeeper’s pads to the net.

The game was finished off with goals from Clayton Phillips and Marc Foley.

Coach Edny Vanden Broek praised the players for their intensity in the second half.
