Margaret River 0, Dunsborough 4

A revitalised Dunsborough Towners reserve side returned to the winner’s list with a comfortable 4-0 win over Reserve league cellar dwellers Margaret River at Gloucester Park on Sunday.

But for the first 20 minutes it was Margaret River’s young brigade that looked the more composed and created major problems to Dunsborough’s defence without actually presenting a significant threat in attack.

The first-half had little to recommend it until late in the half when a bending shot from Towners midfielder Jake Smith sped past the upright.

Then in the 39th minute Keiron McCabe found himself through with an open goal at his mercy from close range when he appeared to be dragged back forcing his shot to graze the outside of the post with calls for penalty falling on deaf ears.

The cultured left foot of Sebastian Kovacs and the aerial skills of Richard Olsen inspired the Dunsborough Towner to a remarkable comeback in an epic 5-5 encounter with Bunbury Dynamo in a Premier League football clash at the Dunsborough Playing Fields on Sunday.

In fact their were two Towner comebacks in the match, the second the more incredible because it was accomplished with only ten men after star striker Graeme Copeman was red carded for retaliation early in the second half.

The Towners were looking at a whitewash for the club after the women’s team had been beaten 6-0 by Dynamo followed by a 6-2 hammering of the men’s reserve side.

For Dunsborough the Premier league game ran the gamut of emotions from despair to hope, to elation and finally disappointment.

The Dunsborough Towners suffered a major setback in their Premier League Reserves campaign when they were hammered 6-2 by Bunbury Dynamo at the Dunsborough Playing Fields on Sunday.

The week before they had registered a meritorious 2-1 win over the same side in the first round of the South West Times knockout cup, and while the Towners struggled late on they demonstration resolution in defence.

This time there was little resistance and Dynamo outplayed Dunsborough in every facet of the game.

The Towners virtually gifted five of the goals to the opposition with slack marking, poor options on the ball and a defence that played far too square allowing Dynamo the luxury of sliding round the back for free shots on goal.

Goalkeeper Paul Andrews did well on many occasions but too often was left exposed with little hope of preventing the avalanche.

A tired Dunsborough surprised themselves to some degree when they faced a fresh Bunbury Dynamno in the South West Times Premier league reserve cup first round and manufactured a 2-1 win at the Dunsborough Playing Fields on Monday.

They had already fought out an energy sapping 2-2 draw with Eaton in a Premier League reserve match the day before.

There were few reserves to call on unless it was from players selected to appear in the first team in the following match.

There was little in the contest in the first-half until the 35th minute when young Aiden Greig took the responsibility to strike a 20 metre free kick that sailed over the Eaton defensive wall and curved past a bemused Eaton goalkeeper.
