Steven Ugarkovic — 8

Contested strongly all over the park and was such an important leader in winning the ball back for his side. Often times Ugarkovic (along with midfield partner Ridenton) would spring City in to panic mode as he took advantage of their static ball movement.

Nick Cowburn — 7

Cleaned up with relative ease, doing well in a disciplined defensive midfield role.

Matthew Ridenton — 7

Mishandled the ball on occasion, but was effective alongside Ugarkovic.

Angus Thurgate — 7

Linked up well, especially with his back to goal. Diligently defended, particularly in a moment where the ever so wily Jamieson looked to run rings around Koutroumbis. Brought off for the defensive substitution of Adelson.

Jair — 8.5

With many key cogs of the Jets’ engine missing, the creative fulcrum largely fell on the Brazilian and boy, did he take it with aplomb. Had a low driven volley saved well by Galekovic and only minutes later, set Koutroumbis through on the flank, who returned the favour by putting the ball on the Brazilian’s head to finish.

Kaine Sheppard — 5

Largely anonymous beyond some nice linkups with Thurgate.

SUBS

Jake Adelson — 7

Tumultuous injury problems have prevented his Jets debut for some time but his debut was a strong one, displaying a positive effect in defence and attack.

Roy O’Donovan — 9

Tried to be a catalyst pushing his side forward and was successful in doing so. Ran at the City defence fearlessly and notched an assist for the patience he showed in slipping through Joey Champness. The young winger returned the baton as he set up the Irishman to clinically finish. Brilliant impact.

Joey Champness — 9

The perfect substitution by Ernie Merrick. Brought pace, knowhow and intelligence on his arrival, taking his goal well and providing O’Donovan with the game winning assist.
