Away league match
Evil dropped points away to Tarragindi Tigers which saw them drop to third on the ladder by the end of the weekend.
Tarragindi came out hard and fast. They were first to every ball, hard into every tackle whether legal or not and the ref let a lot go. The shorter field played it's part and Evil couldn't get their game together with short passes missing targets and the long ball being picked up by the keeper.
The best chance came late in the first half when a diagonal ball was put through to Toby on the right who then drew 2 defenders and he squared the ball to Bourke who could only hit the keeper.
A goal early in the second half saw Evil ahead and on top. The ball was won in the middle of the park and was fed through for Juan to pick it up on the byline who cut back inside and put a ball in Toby's path.
Tigers scored with their only real attack of the second half which saw a clearance from the back land in a great position for the attacker to get onto the ball and place from a difficult angle across the goal.
A late corner to tiger saw the ball bounce around the 6 yard box before Johnny who put his foot through it to clear it. Unfortunately Nick was grabbing the ball at that time and suffered a broken finger.
The back line for Evil was solid for the majority of the game. Toshy seemed to be 6 foot tall and bulletproof, winning anything that came near him. Lando on the other side also had a great match. Solid in defence and crucial when turning defence into attack linking well with Tracey a number of times.
A feeling of disappointment in the end dropping points. Evil again their own worst enemies making an average team look above average.
