Nil all draws

Returned to the pitch on Saturday - outside the Goulburn St Polling booth first of all, then at Prince of Wales Bay for the latest joust with the Knights. After a midweek downpour the pitch was a paddling pool, adding something to the game with a Pinball-like slow down, no-roll area.

A late inclusion for the Pirates - from the Premier League - was Sam James. In the first two minutes he had twenty touches! Taroona had much of the play but when the Knights went forward they looked more dangerous! However, in their way was Joey The Imposing Taylor - who played a blinder.

After some nail biting - not from Joey who strode imperiously from the box to repel the attackers - the game ended as did the previous encounter - nil all. After Supercoach Geoff addressed his charges at the end of the game, the Knights Quartermaster approached the Taroona Camp in peace and praised the Taroona boys for their efforts, their spirit and their approach - predicting that at some point one of the teams would score.

Meanwhile in Canberra the result is the same - Nill all.

Time for a rematch?
