Quick Review

Our first convincing win this season, but started unconvincingly. We got into our stride with many feeling/over-exaggerating Maloney's return as the reason for our emphatic victory. To be fair he was unlucky not to score, but he played a good role and set up the third goal. Samaras had likely his finest game to date for us with a double in the match. Match v Rangers next Sunday!

Trivia

• Maloney's debut game on his return back
• Loovens debut game
• Van Hesselink taken off injured, Skippy out for a mth injured.
• Samaras scores a double!!!
