Celtic v Rangers, Collingwood v Carlton, Qld v NSW and then there Redstars v Nics.  Another close and tough encounter out at Redlands in what was a game of two halfs.  Redlands came out determined to put it to the Nics and with tight marking on the Nics star strikers we lacked the ability to go forward while they had the possesion they did not have to many chances and what they did have Big Jules handled with his normal confident ease.Scotty K, Tony B and Dan all scrambled and defended well to go to the break nil all.

The second half saw a turn around with the Nics beginning to dominate possesion.  Peter B, Ray P, Pedr K and Mike I began to get involved and win some ball.  Paul and Glenn where starting to find some space and the Nics had a couple of chances to go up.  Big Kev swapped with Glenn with immediate results and a header which looked like it was in all the way was saved by the Redlands keeper.  Not to be denied 10 mins from time he headed in for the Nics to go to the lead, much to the dissapointment of Redlands.  The Nics defended stoutly for the remaining 10 to get home.  Man of the match Glenn R epitimised a gutsy effort by the Nics who only had 1 on the bench.  Another great managerial performnce by Johnny Mc, I think he nearly busted his double hernia again.

Well done boys.  Also congratulations to Chrs & Shanni on their new arrival, a bouncing baby striker.
