Goulburn Strikers Have Struck!

If you haven't caught up with the Federation Cup news, you must have been in a coma.

The Goulburn Strikers won over a terrific Belconnen United side in a penalty shootout!

I missed the game as my team (Woden) were playing a pre-season training game against Tuggeranong United. But I can tell you this, the mobile phones were running hot on the sideline as match updates were reported to us all by friends at Hawker.

Now Belconnen are a terrific Club but I doubt there was one person on the sideline at our training game who didn't hope for a Goulburn victory. Everyone loves an underdog! Belconnen will bounce back you can count on that, but Goulburn are getting better.

This is such a good result for Premier League football and for newcomers, Goulburn Strikers, who I have to say, have delivered on everything their Club President promised when he spoke to the NPL (see earlier posts). They have very reason to be quietly confident - they are the real deal!! Now everyone knows.

Now we have a Fed Cup final that is a little less predictable, before we hit the season proper! Marvellous!!

I'll quote the excellent match report from Capital Football (good one Russ):
