Semi-Live Provincial Cup RD1: GB Vs. Qld @ IHS Stadium

Great Britain
GK: Eddie Morris

D: Chris Golding
LW: Simon Laing
C: Marcuss Deane

Queensland
GK: Adam Vago
D: Charlie Downes
D: Luke Pilgrim
LW: Ben Manera
C: Brett Gemmell
RW: Ged King

After the smashed up of NSW, we move onto Great Britain up against Queensland. Hopefully this game will be a little closer, and the signs are promising.

GB have arguably the strongest defensive lineup with Golding and Blunder, not to mention Eddie Morris. However Morris has been in poor form in recent times, will he be able to put it behind him for GB?

Qld have a slightly weaker defence, though still very strong, along with Vago in goal who showed good signs in the pre-season and early part of the season before being dropped after one poor game. He'll be looking to prove himself tonight. Gemmell upfront will be there go to man for goals, and King will be looking for a good game on debut in a rep game!

Lets get to it.

 

Not as bad as Victoria... Oh wait they don't have one.

 

Get some other Vic ****s to sign up to the sim and hope they don't want to be RWs, IMO.

 

He played C through the PSC and first half of the season until we signed Shreyas.

 

End of 1st Period:

The Great Britain team gets off to a good start with superstar Simon Laing putting away a goal to give them the lead mid way through the period. Both teams have looked quite good and there doesn't seem to be too much between them so far, Qld could well get back in this one.

GB 1, Qld 0

Goals: Laing (1)
Assists: N/A

 

End of 2nd Period:

No goal in the second 20, but the teams are playing hard tonight. Both of these teams look gelled and this game can still go either way.

These teams look like they could even give the Ice Blacks a run for their money the way they're playing. The 3rd period will be important for both of their hopes of finals though.

GB 1, Qld 0

Goals: Laing (1)
Assists: N/A

 

End of 3rd Period:

Great Britain do it, they get off to the best start possible with a 2 - 0 win over a very strong Qld team. Laing playing the superstar role as he did most of the season for the Sharks.

Next round will see GB play NZ for 1st on the ladder while Qld will take on the poor performing NSW to decide who will be sitting last after two rounds.

An interesting stat from the round is that between all the LWs, there were 6 goals (Astele 3, Laing 2, Flack 1). LWs really dominating the IHS provincial cup so far.

GB 2, Qld 0

Goals: Laing (2)
Assists: N/A
