Good last one
At the start of the season we fixed ourselves the objective to finish in the top 3. To be able to reach this position we had to win the last game vs Swiss and hope that Lions would loose some points in their remaining games. To our great joy both happened.n

The game against in form Swiss reflected our entire season, where we had a good start, a dodgy mid season spell and a great finish.

n

We scored after 10 minutes of play thanks to a great movement on the right from Chris who squared the ball for Kelly to easily tap it in after the Swiss keeper could not hold the ball.

n

After that goal Swiss started to create more danger near our area and managed to equalize after we played badly the offside trap. Shortly after that goal, the Helvets doubled their tally with a long distance shot. We managed to create danger in their area but bad decisions in front of the goal made it that the score did not change.

n

In the second half we started to push more to find the equalizer but instead Swiss scored on a counter attack. We managed to reduce the score shortly after and thought that we could snatch something out of this game but again Swiss reestablished the two goals cushions thanks to a terrible blunder from our defense and goalkeeper leaving their striker scoring easily with a header. At this stage and with 20 minutes to go it was not looking bright for Brewerkz, but Bright himself who stepped in as a full back gave us more impulse and actually played almost as an added striker.

n

There was nothing to lose and we started pushing harder and after missing countless scoring chances managed to get one than two goals and were thinking that we could still win that contest.

n

We finally managed to score two goals in the last two minutes thanks to solo efforts from Kelly and Bright and with the help of Tomas Miranda.

n

The season ended fantastically for us we won 6 and draw 1 in our last 7 games and that showed that we can still improve for the next season.

n

Good luck to the Swiss for their final games and for the Cup final against Casuals.
