De Novo went into the game as League runner ups,\u00c2\u00a0Blunstone Cup runner ups, and hoping to prevent winning the runner ups treble. Albion brought their very own Ultras under the guidance of the infamous McPhee senior.<\/p>\n<p>Line up was: Blaney &#8211; Twigg, Abbott, Lauder, Slater &#8211; Turner, McCue, Mann, Evans &#8211; Leslie, Pemberton. Subs were from McPhee &#8216;junior&#8217;, Desenberg, Palac, Day and Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>Albion played the 1st half against a very strong wind, which helped De Novo take a quick 2:0 lead. Despite this, Albion didn&#8217;t come under that much pressure, and still managed to push forward, but without the quality\u00c2\u00a0to seriously threaten De Novo. Albion had a goal ruled out for offside for what looked a tight decision.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In the second half Albion\u00c2\u00a0were better and put De Novo under a sustained period of pressure. However, with Albion increasingly pushing for the next goal the counter attack was always going to be a danger. Sure enough with the back four exposed\u00c2\u00a0a penalty was conceeded via some desperate defending.\u00c2\u00a03:0. Then Palac came on for Leslie, and Thomas for Turner. With Albion\u00c2\u00a0playing to the &#8220;sound of the trumpets&#8221; (c) Big Ron\u00c2\u00a0the game\u00c2\u00a0completely opened up. Unfortunately\u00c2\u00a0De Novo scored again, 4:0. Finally, Albion scored consolation goal by Evans, after Thomas had run away down the right wing.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overall Albion were\u00c2\u00a0made to pay heavily in a game where Bill had now&#8217;t to do, and where we weren&#8217;t\u00c2\u00a0under constant pressure. And while the referee missed 4 controversial decisions that the assistant referee tried to support him in correcting it shouldn&#8217;t distract us from the fact this\u00c2\u00a0was\u00c2\u00a0a poor collective performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albion went into the game as League Champions, hoping to get their first ever double.
