Grange Thistle 0 – Kangaroo Point Rovers 0
After last week’s frustrating loss against Park Ridge, Grange were looking to hit the ground running against a team they beat convincingly in the first round. The continuing bad run of injuries, suspensions and general unavailability of several regulars meant players had to be shoehorned into unfamiliar positions. Jimmy kept his place in goal, behind a back four of Tungy on the right, Sammy on the left and Watto and Jabbsy in the middle. Clown made a reappearance in the first team, coming in at defensive central midfield behind the more advanced Bosto and Lewis. Coach Alan Waller also relieved Watto of his captaincy to free him up for defensive duties and gave the armband to Clown instead, making him not only a circus performer but a thief as well. Read more
