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.
