MELBOURNE HEIDELBERG KNIGHTS 3 - 2 UNITED The Melbourne Knights’ have kept their fi nals hopes alive with a vital 3-2 victory over Heidelberg United at Mansion Sta- dium on Sunday afternoon. The victory leaves Knight’s just six points away from 5th position, which could be cut back to three should their appeal against a three point deduction be successful. Knight’s starting the match on the front foot despite playing into a strong head wind. They were extremely unlucky not to take the lead in the 9th minute after Ian Pulman charged down a Peter Gavalas clearance, the ball defl ecting and hitting the inside of the post and agonizingly rolling along the goal line before fi nally being cleared. English import Pulman kept the Heidelberg defence on their toes as a long ball from Grbesa was cleared just in time before the striker could pounce on the opportunity. The visitors got their fi rst sight on goal in the 17th minute, with a Drossos’ free kick easily saved by Young. In the 23rd minute, the Knights countered from a Heidelberg corner with Mate Dugandzic leading the way, the midfi elder set though Jamie Cumming of all players though on goal, with Cumming’s cross-shot almost fi nding Groenewald at the back post.

Coming into the game, Green Gully had come into the game with the confi dence that the Blues had not beaten the Cavaliers since 2006. The confi dence of the away side showed on in the early stages with an inviting ball into the area swinging into the path of Mat- thew Sanders at the back post. With Tommi Tomich to beat, Sanders looped a header of the bar, which fell away to safety. Green Gully continued to threaten the South goal in the early stages and went close again moments later when an Andy Vargas long range attempt went wide of the target. South responded immediately and launched a series of attacks onto the Green Gully goal, including two attempts by veteran striker Vaughan Coveny, who was brilliantly denied on both occasions by the Green Gully goalkeeper in Steven Tilovski. South had a fi nal chance before the break when a looping ball by Goran Zoric found Francesco Stella outside the area. With the ball still in the air, the youngster launched a superb volley just wide of the target. The second half started in a similar man- ner to the fi rst with Green Gully launching the opening attack of the period.

In the space of 12 months, Sydney FC’s Kofi Danning has propelled from a young scheming midfi elder in the Victorian Premier League with the A.I.S into a fl edging star of Sydney FC’s senior side. Since earning a coveted scholarship for the government-funded Australian Insititute of Sport’s soccer program, Danning has gone on to attain a host of collective and personal feats that have made the 18-year old sensation of the most promising prospects in Australia football today

His list of achievements include:

p20 Monday 20th July 2009 Issue 19 By Leroy Jerome Robinson in the UK LONDON CALLING Chelsea: A Club For Over Mature Adults Only A month or two into ’s temporary reign at Chelsea I won- dered what the fuss was all about. I won’t go into the intricacies of the article I wrote on my blog but whilst the English press (as well as and the rest of the Chelsea squad) were fawn- ing over the Dutchman I expressed a view that in order to be considered a success Hiddink had to top Avram Grant’s 2nd place in the league and the UCL Final place. They failed on both counts and, though they won an FA Cup, last season could hardly be considered a success. So another season rolls around for Chelsea and with another new coach. With each change we’re meant to be convinced this is the man to put them back on top the EPL and compete with Europe’s elite. If hyping up a coach were an Olympic sport…well you know the rest.

Will this really be a new dawn at Chel- sea or the same old thing? What can we expect with the new coach? Let me tell you what we can’t expect. JT said a few days into Carlo’s reign that the appointment of the Italian meant they would be able to attract world class play- ers to Chelsea. Complete rubbish.

My view is he’ll go with shop at the local discount store if Brad Pitt If the current trends at Chelsea continue The fear I have is that, like with Gour- his own formation; it’ll be his way or the was the manager. I can only see a gradual decline (one that cuff, Chelsea do not have the patience or highway.
