The Boxing Day clash featured the Reds and Mariners, two sides separated by only two points and both in need of a win.
Vince Lia - 5.5
Had a quiet first half, and his goal-bound effort was blocked.
Isaias - 8.5
Delightful on the ball, nice releases to his teammates. Pulled the strings in midfield once again.
Daniel Adlung - 7
Good defensively with a cleared free-kick, made vital interceptions and strong challenges.
Nikola Mileunsic – 7.5
Great cross in early in the first half. Brilliant work down the right to work with Strain for the first goal.

George Blackwood - 4
Missed opportunity as his run was late.
Ryan Kitto - 7.5
Switched play well and made great runs especially the one into the box to slot away beautifully and take the lead.
SUBS
Nathan Konstandopoulos – N/A
Didn’t do enough to warrant a fair rating.
Mark Ochieng - 6
Good chance off of Garuccio’s cross but no contact was made. Tried to make an impact with the time he had on the field.
Michael Marrone - N/A
Wasn’t on long enough to warrant a fair rating.
