In a weekend that saw lavish scoring across the division, Bentleigh have once more missed victory by a rabbits short hair, finishing their game against North Geelong with a two all draw. The warriors have not as whole performed well this season, so going into the match the greens were confident on a solid victory and the point to boot. Unfortunately, conditions were not favourable, and, when I say conditions, I actually mean linesmen, and when I say favourable, I actually mean able to make able to tell the difference between white line and green grass. Some dubious yellow cards after an even more dubious goal put the greens at an instant disadvantage. A second goal even luckier than the first put Geelong up two nil within the first twenty minutes. Playing one man down, the green were still able to dominate the rest of the match and quickly brought the scores back to Stevens. Although many opportunities were created, the greens were unable to convert a third play, and were forced to split the points.
Next weeks match is against the Casey Comets, a team not exactly known for lighting up the nights sky with a blaze of heavenly glory. This means it should be another safe opportunity for the greens to pick up some valuable late in the season points.
