Today we played Beaumaris in a practice game at FFV headquarters. It was perfect conditions at Darebin and both teams really enjoyed playing on the synthetic pitch. Box Hill got off to a great start with a conversion within the first few minutes of the match. Some clever play along the wing resulted in a great ball into the box, which found the back of the net with ease.
Our second goal came from a visciously whipped in corner, which a defender stuck out a desperate leg to and scored an own goal. 2 nil and the lads had their tails up, however Beaumaris managed a well put together goal late in the half to go to the break 1 goal down.
The 2nd half was as intense as the 1st and both teams worked hard in the midfield. Some good chances for Box Hill during the term with some well planned forays into the box, but Beaumaris defended well and managed to clear the ball. At the other end of the ground Beaumaris had a couple of good chances with some corners, but failed to convert.
All up an enjoyable game for both sides with Box Hill walking away with a 2 / 1 victory. Thanks to Dave Stack for refereeing the match and to Steve T for finally working out how to put the drink bottle holder together !
