BOYS Friendly: St George's 4-4 Ambrit

 It might have been billed as a 'friendly' match but neither side lacked a competitive edge in this morning's encounter. Ambrit started well but, just like in last Sunday's ACLI match, a moment of distraction saw them concede an early goal. But the team settled down and then drew level, the goal coming from new signing Giovanni Z. In the second half, Ambrit conceded their customary early goal... and then another to find themselves 3-1 behind. But Ambrit were rescued from an unlikely source! Adriano used to be considered a defender but, employed this year by Mr Gabriele as an attacking wing-back or even as an out-and-out striker, he showed all his skills today to pop in a hat-trick to propel Ambrit into the lead. However, despite the solid pairing of Giovanni Z and Vittorio in defence, a lack of focus throughout the team allowed the hosts to equalise towards the end.
