PRESTON ALTONA LIONS 2 - 4 MAGIC

Preston’s season seems to be getting from bad to worse as the weeks go by, having lost another 3 experienced players from its playing roster, club captain Mitch Bosevski going to Hume City, Robert Dolevski going to Fawkner Blues and vice captain Blaze Georgievski going back overseas to Macedonia. Preston did manage to add to its playing list in the form of attacking player Martin Hana. Altona who is having some of its own internal problems tested and probed the inexperienced young Lions outfi t but apart from some early jitters the Lions gave the Magic as good as they received. Preston was much the better team early on as Filipovic and Arsovski controlled the middle of the park with determination, and young forwards Hana and Micovski were more than just a nuisance to the Magic defense with their running and harassing, but apart from some half hearted half chances from both sides the majority of the fi rst half saw each team can- celling the other out. 37 minutes into the fi rst half big Magic defender Anthopoulos was outsmarted by the diminutive Preston forward Micovski which ended in Laurie pulling him down to the ground earning the Lions a penalty as a result, which Filipovic made no mistake when he sent Roganovic the wrong way to put the Lions up 1 goal to nil. The half got even better for Preston when in the 44th minute Hana making his debut for the Lion’s out sped the Magic defense to the ball Carl Recchia scores with a precise header for the Altona Magic in the derby with Preston Lions. to easily slot it past a dismayed Roganovic in dearly in the 62nd minute when their defense But this was a stay in execution only and should have consolidated and should have the Altona goal, and more importantly giving was breached, Damir Salcin was a lucky man Magic got what their efforts deserved and that taken something from this game. the Lion’s a 2 goal lead with the interval on as he brought down the Altona forward giving was the equalizer through captain Recchia seconds away. a penalty away but only receiving a yellow for who rose unchallenged from a corner to on 71 Preston Lions (2) v Altona Magic (4) Preston should have gone up 3 goals to nil in the misdemeanor, Curcija made no mistake minutes.

As the game went on I had full intentions of bringing Alex Tabor on who’s a tremendous striker who scores goals, made his debut for us. We went with the two strikers who are probably as good as anybody at the club at scoring goals.” Oakleigh Cannons Coach John Anasta- siadis said after the match, “ We expected Thunder to come out fi ring in the second half. That’s why they’re on top. Dandenong are a very good team, but I thought today we showed great commitment again and I think we’ve just got to learn to hold a result against the good teams like Dandenong Thunder. We’re very disappointed. For us we consider it as a loss because we were nearly there to beat Dandenong. We didn’t actually go out there to beat Dandenong today because Dandenong is undefeated. We just wanted to go out and win the game because we needed the points. It didn’t happen, but if I was to come here and people told me, I’d get a point, I’d take it.” ….
