In the opening half, we had two well-executed goals with the first coming after we won the ball at midfield and Perez (Chris) found Albiston (Chris) on the left wing for one-on-one a far post score. The second goal came after we gained possession at midfield again, and this time we pressured down the right side and Dunn (Chris) broke low and hard as he flicked it into the near post. Our final score came on a well-played corner kick early in the second half. Perez (Chris) had a nice serve and Teiman (Michael) was able to head the ball into the back of the net. We still have work to do, but our effort and attitude were great. Definitely happy to score some goals.&rdquo;&nbsp; </em></p> <p><strong><em></em></strong>The Tribe got on the scoreboard first when Albiston scored in the 25th minute.
