Knights Stage Comeback, but Fall Short Against Altona

Abrace of goals from Lukman Ahmed-Shaibu against his former club saw Canberra Croatia claim a vital 2-1 win over Monaro Panthers in what was an exciting Round 11 encounter in the National Premier League at Deakin Stadium.

Ahmed-Shaibu scored in both halves as the Deakin-club, who will �ind out their Australia Cup Round of 32 opponents on Wednesday evening, reduced the gap to the top four to only �ive points and rekindle their hopes of reaching the �inals.

Magic. It appears that the player in question should have been serving a suspension, which could potentially impact the �inal result of the match.

We eagerly await further updates on this matter in the coming days.

Looking ahead, the Knights are preparing for another thrilling encounter as they gear up to face league leaders Avondale FC at home.

The blockbuster clash is scheduled to take place at Knights Stadium, with kickoff set for 19:30.

The American striker has been in sensational form and took his tally to eleven goals in his last nine appearances in all competitions with this brace, opening the scoring with a thunderbolt from outside the area after just eight minutes, the ball cannoning into the roof of the net off the underside of the crossbar.The visitors drew level later in the �irst-half via a pinpoint free-kick magni�icently curled around the wall by Connor Mynott-Smith as the teams went into the changing rooms all-square at one apiece However, Croatia would win it in an even second half when Ahmed-Shaibu rose highest at the back post to meet a Jason Ugrinić cross with a brilliant header back across Panthers’ stopper Jordan Thurtell and into the far corner.

O’Connor Knights jumped from fourth into second place with a superb 4-2 away win over fellow title contenders highlighted by investment in the latest Digital Press and Wide Format technology, enabling them to provide customers with the highest quality product at extremely competitive prices with the fastest turnaround times.

Gungahlin United at the Australian Institute of Sport, scoring four times in a scintillating second-half performance that had the watching Knights faithful purring and dreaming of silverware. The Knights fell behind when Jackson Paesler �inished off a �ine move with the only goal of the opening stanza, but drew level when Micheal Adams was presented with the chance to equalise from the penalty spot nine minutes into the second period, which he took with his usual customary aplomb.

Aisosa Ihegie appears to have found his scoring touch in Knights colours and headed them in front six minutes later, only for the Golden Boot leading Maxx Green to force home a leveller with his eleventh goal of a productive season.

Knights weren’t to be deterred though and Tyson Livermore rammed home a loose ball to put the visitors ahead with eight minutes left to play, Ihegie ensuring the victory, and putting Knights above Olympic on goal difference in the process, with the fourth goal deep into stoppage time.

CLIFTON HILL SVEČANA

Nakon poslužene večere, svojom uvijek odličnom svirkom na plesni podij sve su podigli članovi benda 'Major Minor'

Kao gosti rođendanske zabave nastupili su članovi Hrvatskog kulturno-umjetničkog društva "Lado" iz Geelonga, čija je grupa malenih izvela koreogra�iju Baranje. A izvedbom Ličkog kola posebno je oduševila "Ladova" grupa odraslih.

Čestitkama za rođendan pridružio se i vlč. Bosiljko Rajić, koji je blagoslovio jelo prije večere.

A nakon poslužene večere, svojom uvijek odličnom svirkom na plesni podij sve su podigli članovi benda "Major Minor". Niz hrvatskih hitova, pa onda neizbježno kolo, užarili su izvrsnu atmosferu rođendanskog slavlja koje se nastavilo i s rođendanskim iznenađenjem – završnim kolom Gotovčeve opere "Ero s onoga svijeta" u izvedbi srednje grupe FG-a "Mladi Hrvata" koja je, uz pjesmu njihovih najmlađih koju su zauzeli pozornicu, povukla sve prisutne na plesni podij.

"Folklor u krvi" probudio je u svima ljepotu koju sa sobom donosi plesni ritam, ruke povezane u kolo koje je se proširili i na samu dvoranu HKC-a Sunshine.

Sretni dobitnici vrijednih nagrada (tombole, Last Man Standing) imali su još jedan razlog za veselje, dok su ostali uživali u domaćim kolačima koje su donirale vrijedne domaćice.

Rođendanskim čestitkama pridružuje i uredništvo Hrvatskog vjesnika - uz želje za uspješan nastavak rada i brojne nastupe u kojima "neka na mladima ostane svijet i bogatstvo hrvatske kulture i tradicije".
