‘Soft’ goals prove costly for Bulls
Conceding soft goals was the nail in the coffin for the Mareeba Bulls Premier Mens side.
Conceding soft goals was the nail in the coffin for the Mareeba Bulls Premier Mens side as they faced off against the Marlin Coast Rangers over the weekend, going down 3-2.
The Bulls struck first and looked to be on the way to a comfortable win after slotting a goal within the first five minutes.
Marlin Coast got an equaliser about halfway through the first half then on the stroke of halftime the Bulls managed to pull ahead.
However, a lapse in concentration once again proved fatal for the Bulls as Marlin Coast managed to slip by and slot in a few easy goals that proved to be the end for the Bulls.
Coach Kane Alderton said if the boys want to remain competitive this year, they need to stay focused for the whole game.
“We created a few chances that we should have capitalised on but we never did and conceded a couple of soft goals,” he said.
“The boys competed but we’ve just got to take our chances when they come and stop gifting teams goals.”
This weekend will be a top of the table clash as the Bulls host Edge Hill on Saturday, with kick-off at 7pm.
