BUFC A’s vs Redfern Raiders – Trial Game

BUFC started strongly and played some lovely football but failed to trouble the opposition goalkeeper early on. However after a good build up Craig Northey opened up the account with a delightful finish to put the red and white army 1 nil up.

In the 1st Half Redfern Raiders played some very clever close control football but rarely troubled the BUFC defence and Darren had a fairly untroubled 1st half.

Halftime BUFC 1, Redfern Raiders 0

The 2nd half started brightly with an early goal, again after some good work by Ashley, Craig slotted home with a calm finish and then followed that with his 3rd goal of the day.

Redfern Raiders then started a spirited fight back and were awarded a penalty which was neatly finished to make the score 3-1. BUFC then produced a period of sustained pressure and with Craig bearing down on goal was fouled and awarded a penalty.

No one could get in Darrens way in taking the penalty and up he strode and neatly put the ball away in the top right hand corner. The game had to be stopped for 5 minutes whilst Darren ran a celebration lap of the Oval.

With the game nearing completion Redfern Raiders made one more attack and scored a late consolation goal.

Final Score BUFC 4,  Redfern Raiders 2.
