Men
On this wonderful Sunday, the Vikings faced the league leading team from Victoria University.
The team started quite well and was mainly up a couple of goals until early second half. Then we struggled a bit with execution and some unlucky circumstances caused too many turnovers that Vic Uni was able to convert and therefore they turned around the game and were leading by up to 6 goals. In the last 10 minutes the team were able to focus better and started to fight back but it wasn’t enough to beat Vic Uni today. The final score was 31:35.
For the Vikings played:
James W; Michael W 3, Jun B 6/2, Fabien L 6, Daniel T 2, Stefan F 4, Nico P 1, Alexis G 3, Lachlan H 5, Matthias H 1
Next game following Sunday (8th September) at 5:00pm at Kilbirnie Recreation Centre (versus Spartanz HC)
