Rain was the order of the weekend in Round 6 of the BPL, which only saw
one match played on Friday night. Power re-entered the top four with a routine
victory over Capalaba at AJ Kelly Park.
Peninsula Power 3:0 Capalaba
A dominating display by Peninsula Power saw them run out comfortable winners
at home to a disappointing Capalaba side.
Everyone will be talking about…
Power’s lethal strike-force. On a night of numerous chances for the
hosts, goals looked likely from several players. So it turned out – with top
scorer Michael Baird’s deft finishing not required.
Yeah, but what happened?
Power took the lead early on when Michael Butters met a pin point cross
from Richie Hurlin and headed in off the post. Capalaba had their fair share of
attacks but did not emulate Power’s killer instinct – again on display towards
the closing stages of the half. The home crowd was on their feet as Hurlin
stepped up to expertly curl a free kick in the top corner from the edge of the
box. The result was all but sealed early in the second period, as Lewis Bonar
followed in on a Baird shot that cannoned off the post.
The numbers:
Power – Butters ’11; Hurlin ’38; Bonar ‘54
Looking ahead...
Power will look to maintain their impressive goal scoring form when they
travel to Easts next week, while Capalaba will be desperate to improve at home
to North Star.
