PREMIER LEAGUE MEN'S HOCKEY AHC 3 BURNSIDE HC 2 - Round 22

The game was played at 8.15pm at State Hockey Stadium.
15 minutes into the game scores were level at 2 - 2.
I grabbed my camera from the car thinking this was going
to be a high scoring game.
The 3rd and final goal came for AHC  with less than 10 minutes of
play left in the second half although Burnside had two chances to
score almost on full time off of two short corners awarded.

This early posting, as I continue to edit, is a Gif of a Fraser Bowden
run into the circle and an attempted shot on goal.
