Big squad rotation for Forge with at least 4 regular starters out (Bekker, Borges, Krutzen, Henry) I think Bekker and Henry are being rested and I suspect Borges' knee injury is more serious than some suspected!

Pena back in along with Sirois.  

It is HOT out there.  

[Cheeta]

Crashed just in time for some drama.  Oi...

[narduch]

Scoreless at the half

[Cheeta]

Lucky to not be behind at this point.  Valour, that is.

Way too cheap with the ball.  Absolutely terrible.  Terrible.  Forge is going to field their 1st team in the 2nd and then what?  Lads need to sharpen up.

All that cynicism above aside I'm assuming Gale gave instructions to save the legs for the last 45.  Guess we'll see.

 

[Cheeta]

That's a goal.

If Valour were to beat Forge inexplicably in every game this season, I wouldn't complain.

[Cheeta]

Top of table after a much better 2nd half.   Tough one all around, Forge sort of wilting a bit after halftime.

[Cheeta]

Pena MoTH, quite right.

[narduch]

Another nice goal

What a shot! Are Valour just really good defensively? They’ve only given up goals in one match
