6th May 2007 - The First Match

Borondara Lions 3-0 Doncaster Rovers.

With the 'A' League and 'B' League teams still not finalised, the 'B' League team's first match was away to Boroondara Lions.

With a late venue change, things didn't start too well. The coach arrived late; only 11 players were available; one player dislocated a shoulder so the team had to play over a half of the game one man short.

Despite the adversity, the team played well and although they didn't score, hit the woodwork twice.

I wasn't at this game but my son Ian volunteered to move after the first round to the 'B' League side along with Trevor Bird, so my diary really starts with the second round.
