The play off for 15th and 16th between the Peres Peace Team and India sides kicked off proceedings on the McAlister Oval at Royal Park in Melbourne. Perfect conditions for footy, not a breath of wind and patchy cloud holding the sun at bay.
The Peace Team controlled play for most of the first quarter and with goals to Belik (#3), Benvenisty (#2) and big Kamal Abu Althom (#1), the Peace team had surged to a 19 point early lead. A couple of late chances to India went begging and at quarter time the Indian side trailed by 17.
The 2nd term saw the tempo pick up even more, with the Peace Team attacking early but unable to convert their chances. India was generally unable to penetrate the defensive wall of the Peace side, but, finally broke through, surged forward but the snap from the busy Jay Himat (#7) went wide. Peace rebounded well and the ball ended up in the hands of Za’arir (#12) who marked and played on slotting the goal. Soon after Benvensity marked again for his second goal, but a late goal to India after Ahktar (#8) handballed to Himat.
