I also took my camera with a 28mm prime on it but didn’t take a lot of shots.  Here’s a few from the night…..

9,208 people watched the two teams have their chances in regulation time but no-one could break the nil all deadlock.  After 90 minutes it all came down to a penalty shootout.

The Phoenix lost 8-7 after about 15 minutes of agonising shots from the spot…….

A great but ultimately disappointing night.

Here’s Vic and Emma during the shootout!

  • My masters team won 1-0 for our first win of the season
  • Max’s team won their “little dribblers” game 6-1. He also bought his first set of boots.
  • The Phoenix won an exhibition, Chinese earthquake charity match 6-2. Vic and I took Max and Elliot along for their first Phoenix game – Max enjoyed it and Elliot was over it in about 20 minutes :)

Max and I also had a great bonding moment this afternoon as we sat there cleaning our boots together…..

He also got a certificate for player of the day!

It’s a long story but Max picked up one of the chants a couple of weeks ago and this is him chanting “Ricki Herbert’s yellow army!” (Ricki Herbert is the coach)
