In the 2011 Steve Hudson Cup the Senior Team is in the group B with Prospect Knights, Hobart Olympia and Ulverstone. The first game was against Knights.
After a first goal by Thors Niemly for United, Knights scored one before half-time. After a very harsh second half Knights scored at the 92 min.
And sometime we had to make sacrifice hadn't we Dobbo ?
The interview of Mark by Walter Pless :
“We started the game well and put them under pressure early and scored after twelve minutes - a deft touch inside the six-yard box to slot the ball home by Thors Niemly,"
“The game was well balanced and Knights pulled one back on the twenty-six minute mark, and at half time the score line reflected the contest at that stage of the game.
“The second half was a more scrappy affair. The quality football that was on show in the first half evaporated in the midday sun and the game evolved into a more physical encounter with a number of yellow cards being shown.
“As the second half wore on, the Knights mounted some serious pressure on our goal and we lost our shape, but we still managed to look dangerous on the counter.
“And then, Knights scored in ‘Fergie time’, in the 92nd minute. They found the back of the net and that was the winner.
“The lads worked very hard today. Our French import, Alex Rubel, in particular, worked very hard.
“For the last ten minutes, the lads put up a brick wall on the edge of our eighteen-yard box and, unfortunately for us, Knights found a way through.
“The lads are disappointed, but we need to learn from our mistakes, work hard to correct them, and prepare for Ulverstone next Saturday.”
