Match Report Once again Panorama lasted 1 hour before allowing Randburg to come back and win the game.

With some players returning after a long absence (Harris, Dixon and Olgiati) Panorama started cautios, relying on the long balls and counter attack to prevent Randburg's flowing game to become effective.

Kelly played with a 4-4-2, with the intention of slowing down the game and winning the high balls by playing the newly engaged DeLeo with Thornton as an unusual attacking pair.

Panorama managed to control the pressue thanks to some good and aggressive defending by the back four, including some great saves by Jeanes, but in the only moment of distraction they got punished.

Randburg kept controlling the game, but Panorama managed a great combination between Wills and DeLeo just inside of the area,  who then flicked the ball to the running Olgiati who found the perfect corner with volley from a difficult angle.

In the second half Randburg tried to raise the pressue, but Panorama contained them quite well. On a counter attack Randburg was once again punished thanks to a precise shot by Olgiati from an intelligent pass by Thornton that completey fooled the marker.

At this point Panorama started to collapse a little and two lucky goals by Randburg changed the score in the last 20 minutes.

With the relegation to Div 2 confirmed, Kelly had to take the positives from the game in order to build up a team for the next season...
