As the game got underway, CGI wasted little time in
adding to their tally with successive goals from Chaves
and Jake Bayley to take their advantage up to 3 ½-0. But
Print on Demand, fought back hard; the see-saw battle
for supremacy on the field saw Henderson pull his team
back with a penalty that brought the deficit back to its
original margin of 1 ½ goals. The 4 goal Henderson saw
his efforts answered by San Roman with a beautiful long
range effort which found its target between the uprights.
This moved the score to 6 ½ -4, before Bruce Bayley
helped to increase the CGI advantage with an assist
on yet another goal. He was in the perfect position to
pick up a loose ball which he fired up field to find an
unmarked Chaves who galloped away from everyone
to score what would be one of the easier goals of the
match; the score-line now read 7 ½-4.
Henderson was relentless and refused to give up
on the possibility that a victory could be achieved for
Print on Demand and continued to score the penalty
opportunities which were presented. After converting a
60-yard penalty he combined with Gemmell for the next
goal; Gemmell raced down the left side of the field and
finished off with a cracking shot between the uprights to
send the flag person into a frenzy as he signaled the goal.
This goal, put a win for the visiting team within touching
distance as they had now converted the game’s last three
goals to be adrift by a mere ½ of their opponents.
