Seaford, Skye in promotion fight

10 Aug, 2010 12:00 AM
SEAFORD and Skye remain genuine promotion hopes after they eked out a 1-0 victory over Noble Park and Berwick Kings respectively in soccer’s Provisional division 3 match on Saturday.

While Langwarrin and Mornington are still in the hunt, they will need to produce good games this week to remain viable contenders after each lost on the weekend.

With just five rounds remaining, Seaford’s win puts it back atop the division 3 table with Andrew Curd scoring in the second half.

Victor Villela’s late goal against the Kings keeps Skye in the hunt in division 2 behind Lyndale and Ashburton who meet each other in a fortnight.

Skye officially opened its new pavilion at Skye Reserve on Thursday night and is now planning works to the grounds in order to accommodate its 300-plus players.

Langwarrin was on the wrong side of a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of St Albans, which is making a late bid for a Premier league spot in the tightly contested State division 1.

Despite the loss, Langy is as good a chance as any to grab second spot behind Springvale White Eagles eight teams within a couple points all vying for a premier league berth.

Frankston Pines is back in the race for survival after going down 2-0 to Southern Suburbs who are now just one point off Pines in second bottom.

Peninsula Strikers also lost at the weekend, going down 2-1 to North Caulfield on Sunday at Centenary Park with youngster Jeremy Schwellinger finding the net for Strikers.

Mornington’s hopes of a third consecutive promotion are dwindling after it lost 3-2 to Kingston City at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday.

Nick Waite and Jamie Paterson scored for the Gulls who sit in fourth spot on the State division 3 table. The Gulls must beat second-placed South Springvale in their catch-up game if they are to get their bid back on track.
