Palerang United Men took on Gungahlin United in Braidwood and a tough game was played out. Palerang United have had several injuries that have kept some of our experienced players out for the last couple of games but the younger players in the squad are stepping up and putting in some excellent performances to provide the team with some real backbone and heart. The game started with the more physical Gungahlin team creating some strong phases of possession. However Ben Pritchard and Mitchell Roberts provided some tenacity in the centre of midfield which led to Gungahlin United becoming frustrated with their inability to control the play. Troy Clark Keith Acheson Jai Gulia and Ian Raynor were awesome in defence with some excellent reads of general play that thwarted Gungahlin’s attack. Tristan Neate and Mitch Moon were starting to cause the Gungahlin defence some headaches midway through the first half with some breakaway runs towards goal. Mitch Roberts put Palerang United in the lead after a scrambled Gungahlin defence could clear the ball far enough and Mitch slammed the ball into the net from 20 metres out. Palerang United were excited to hit the lead after absorbing a lot of pressure in defence but Gungahlin started to bicker amongst themselves at the inability to get a decent strike on goal.
