The weather was wild and windy as the boys headed down the M5 to the Eastern Suburbs to take on their highly fancied opponents.
In the first half, THAC found themselves playing against a strong wind and conceded two goals in the process. A fiery half-time talk from Coach Sonny Makko worked, and the boys came out of the sheds with two quick goals to inspirational skipper Michael Ruhs. Despite dominating possession and territory, a third goal proved elusive and the game went straight to penalties to decide a winner.
Professional penalties from Justin Vidic, Denim Nou and Joey Leto supplemented the heroics of super-keeper Daniel Pearce who saved the first two penalties from Emmanuel and effectively put them out of the fight. Well done to the whole team and all the best versus Cranbrook School in the third round!
