Easy Win for Albion Boys Over Fawkner School
The Albion boys defeated Fawkner school boys last Saturday but dominance was dulled by size differences and positional mixups. James scored early after a mispass, with Norman and McGrath pressing, and Gillard adding a fine goal before Albion’s disorganization allowed a late reply from Fawkner. Albion next host Brighton while Sunshine United Juniors face Fawkner at 1.45.
