Campbell Dovison was exceptional against the Bergers. The former South junior came close to scoring himself, before pouncing on the rebound and setting up our goal with a composed assist. He spoke to Neal Symons post-match.
GOALS | Catch both goals from our 1-1 derby draw away to Heidelberg. Charlie Leech was the scorer, but make sure to check out the brilliant ball from Jack Painter-Andrews that set Campbell Dovison free in the lead-up to a sensational team goal.
Undermanned but brave, as we take a point on the road. The result confirms we won’t finish in the bottom three and keeps our faint hopes of a top-six finish alive. 📸 Cindy Nitsos
HALF TIME | A bright start as we take a 1-0 lead into the break. A brilliant ball from Painter-Andrews found Dovison, who struck the post with his first effort before squaring it for Leech to bury. 📸 Cindy Nitsos
