Round Three Futsal Winter State league Review
In the women?s match of the round Force 10 took on V.I.M with both sides in the top four this was always going to be a close battle. Force 10 were slow out of the blocks with V.I.M dominating the bulk of the possession in the first half however Mel McCauley was only called on to make a the odd save in the Force 10 Goal. Natalie Spirovski had the best chance in the first half after a nice through ball by Amanda Bowering only for McCauley to make a fine one v. one save.
The second half Force 10 took the game to much fancied V.I.M sided and took the lead after a great goal scored by Jo-Anne Saliba. Force 10 was now having great spells of possession and Sarah Yatim and Steph Haaring having good chances to extend the lead but Tani Rosekelly was equal to both efforts in the V.I.M goals. Spirovski was always a threat on the break for V.I.M and linked well with her team mates, however the final pass would just miss its mark on the edge of the ?D? reliving the pressure off the Force 10.
With Minutes remaining Renee Tomkins levelled the scores when her tame effort was spilled across the line by Nina Blundell in the Force 10 Goal at Half time. Both sides will be disappointed with the result as it was a chance to break away from the teams around them in the table.

In the Men?s Action match of the round pitted two super league clubs against each other with Barcelona taking on Enfield Rovers. In the first half it was a game of missed chances with both sides creating plenty with A. Riccio (Enfield) and J. Becerra (Barcelona) both working overtime in goals for the respective teams. Enfield took the lead thanks to a R. Foti effort that beat the keeper at the near post. Barcelona then equalized the with a nice build up and finish from JP. Foti. With the scores locked at one-one at half time the game was there for the taking.
In the second half Barcelona took the lead when a R.Ristevski effort was too hot for A. Riccio in the Enfield goal and cannoned into the back of the net. It looked like Barcelona would go on with it however R. Foti seemed to inspire the enfield boys and they resposed with 3 quick goals with R.Foti having a scoring one and having a hand in the other two. Barcelona pulled back a consolation goal in the dying minutes but Enfield prevailed to claim the points.
