BHA DIV 1 – ROUND 17 – QUT HOCKEY VS BULIMBA HOCKEY CLUB
Below is a review of the game by Tess Lawerence taken from the BHA website.
Bulimba 6 (Justin Douglas 3, Liam Brown 2, Allan Dale) defeated QUT 0 at the State Hockey Centre, Colmslie.
After a last-start draw against lowly United, Bulimba rediscovered some of their top form to seal their ninth straight victory over QUT. The opening 15 minutes of the game saw a fierce struggle from QUT to get the ball more than 20 metres away from their own goal, ensuring QUT goalkeeper Blair Burden was kept very busy. Multiple penalty corners were awarded to Bulimba during this time, but the Ibis defence kept deflecting their attempts, with Robert Kruger in particular putting in some impressive tackles. The Bulls finally cracked QUT’s line of defence after almost 20 minutes, with Liam Brown darting through the crowd for a field goal, with assistance from team mate Justin Douglas. Allan Dale further raised the scoreboard in the 28th minute with a successfully converted penalty corner. QUT’s Michael Lehmann was punished with a card from the umpire close to the break, keeping him off field for the remainder of the first half. The second half saw QUT get the ball down the other end of the field more often, giving Bulimba’s Olympic goalkeeper Stephen Lambert something to do by saving a few penalty corners. It wasn’t enough to put them on the scoreboard, with each of the penalties unsuccessful. Bulimba’s offence then kicked into a higher gear, driving the ball down the other end of the field, where it virtually stayed for the remainder of the game. Brown and Douglas proved they were a tight knit combination, working together superbly to get Brown his second field goal for the game, with Douglas rounding out the scoring with three more goals before the final whistle was blown – Tess Lawrence.
BHA DIV 1 – ROUND 16 – QUT HOCKEY VS UQ HOCKEY CLUB
Below is a review of the game by Lee Oliver taken from the BHA website.
University of Queensland 10 (Daniel Biase-McInally 4, Greg Collins 2, Ashley Hennegan 2, Kieran Powyer, Mitchell Smith) defeated QUT 0 at the State Hockey Centre, Colmslie.
Five goals in each half, including a four-goal haul to Daniel Biase-McInally, saw University of Queensland record their most comprehensive victory in memory, demolishing QUT by ten goals. QUT would have entered the clash confident of repeating their 4-1 victory against the Redmen from May, but it took only 15 minutes for their arch rivals to assume control of the match and race out to a 3-0 lead. After Aidan Rintala had three penalty corner shots blocked, Greg Collins opened the scoring from a corner variation. One minute after Collins scored again from another penalty corner, Kieran Powyer celebrated his first top-grade goal after five years of trying, diving to deflect in Biase-McInally’s pass, after Shaun Furtado made the initial break. Two more goals just before halftime extended University’s lead to an unassailable five-goal margin, with Rintala’s low flick touched on by Biase-McInally, who then finished off Collins’ run along the back line. QUT’s best scoring chance of the half saw Chris Gilmore, well positioned at the far post, unable to deflect in a Michael Lehmann pass. The rout continued one minute after the teams returned to the field after halftime, with Biase-McInally deflecting Ethan Quan’s pass into the goal. Mitchell Smith netted his first goal of the season for the Redmen, before Biase-McInally shot past Ibis goalkeeper Blair Burden from the top of the circle for University’s eighth unanswered goal. It was then Ashley Hennegan’s turn to add his name to the score sheet, with the defender making the most of a rare chance in the University forward line, netting two goals in four minutes for the Redmen to register a double-digit goal tally – Lee Oliver.
