BHA Div 1 – Round 10 – QUT Hockey vs Labrador Hockey Club
Round 10 of the BHA Div 1 season for 2011, saw QUT come up against Labrador.
Below is a review of the game by Lee Oliver taken from the BHA website.
Labrador 6 (Mark Harris 2, Chris Gilmour, Andrew Ward, Grant Smith, Kane Hancock) defeated QUT 2 (Chris Gilmore, Rob Kruger) at Keith Hunt Park, Labrador.
Four second half goals helped Labrador overtake Easts into fifth position on the competition ladder with a come-from-behind victory against bottom-placed QUT. QUT scored first through Chris Gilmore, after Michael Lehmann, Rob Kruger and Mark Masefield combined to advance the ball upfield with quick passes. Labrador equalised soon after, with Mark Harris scoring after beating two defenders during a run along the backline. The teams went to the halftime break tied on the scoreboard, after QUT goalkeeper Blair Burden made several key saves, including keeping out multiple shots in a row from Tigerstix attackers, to keep the visitors in the hunt for their second win in three trips to the Gold Coast. However, the Ibis fell into their old trap of letting a potential match-winning position slip from their grasp, by conceding a number of back-to-back goals. Labrador scored three times in six minutes as the home side turned their developing dominance of the match into a sizeable advantage on the scoreboard. First Chris Gilmour and Andrew Ward netted field goals, before Kane Hancock claimed Labrador’s fourth goal from the penalty spot, after the ball struck the foot of Ibis fullback Iain Coleman on the goal line as the Englishman tried to stop Harris’ shot. With ten minutes left in the game Grant Smith scored for Labrador, with Kruger scoring the final goal of the game for QUT with an easy tap-in with three minutes remaining, following lead-up work by halfback Alex Krzensk attacking down the right flank. Despite the loss, the game marks the first time since June 2007 that QUT has scored in five consecutive matches, outscoring United and University during that time – Lee Oliver.
