Top of the league was the prize on offer for the visitors of today meeting between GNS and Easts - the second game in as many weeks between the top two sides in Div. 4.1. We do like to make things hard on ourselves however and this time managed to give the 'Legal Eagles' a 2 goal advantage at half time - the first was the result of a penalty flick after a goal bound effort from a GNS attacker hit Martin Rippon on the line. the second was a well taken effort from the top of the D after a sloppy clearance by the Easts defence.

With the minor premiership effectively on the line,  an inspirational half-time team talk by captain Damien O'Neill (ed.)  had the desired effect with the Eastern Suburbs men coming roaring out of the dug-out with all guns blazing. Soon after we pulled a goal back when the inform Tom Adams rounded a couple of defenders before finishing neatly from a tight angle. The second was as a result of a poorly cleared GNS short corner was dinked into an open net my Adams. Easts continued to press all over the park, creating a number of chances but alas it wasn't to be. Sam Moore did a great job of attaching himself to the boot laces of GNS's most creative player - effectively nullifying the presence of the angry Irishman. And so it finished 2-2, which keeps GNS 1 point clear with 3 games to play, Easts must focus on winning all 3 remaining fixtures and hoping GNS slip up along the way. Either way - these teams will battle it out again in September for the Premiers crown.
