Tuggeranong too good for the Tigers
Division 5 took on second place Tuggeranong United at Nijong Oval on Saturday afternoon. In a test from the first whistle, Cooma were under the pump and were kept in the game by ever reliable Mark Chenery in goals who, every week, has a massive part in leading the Cooma defence.
The Tigers found themselves up 1-0 after a classy finish from Cameron Wall, but the lead did not last long. In what can only be described as 2 minutes of madness, Cooma were down 2-1. With a few people out of their regular positions, and a few key players missing, it made for a tough afternoon.
Andrew Whiting was a standout in centre midfield, alongside James Douglas, and he will be getting on the score sheet in the next few weeks if he keeps up Saturday's display. Cooma never really settled, and found themselves 4-1 down at the final whistle; a very tough result.
Best on field Andrew Whiting, James Douglas, and Mark Chenery. Thank you to Dave D'Amico and Nigel Smith who, normally 4th div players, were great assets to the team.
Coach Daniel Walker said “We had a lot of chances in the game, and it came down to finishing. If you don't finish, you don't score; it's that simple! I was very impressed with a few players we were playing in different positions”
