Devastation as Sydney FC
dominate but lose Grand Final
Sydney FC have been defeated 2-1 by Melbourne Victory in a heartbreaking
Grand Final which they dominated with 20 shots to seven but just couldn’t
find the back of the net.
State Memorial Service for Shane Warne
A State Memorial Service to honour
former Australian test cricketer
Mr Shane Warne will be held at 7pm
on Wednesday 30 March at the Melbourne
Cricket Ground.
Mr Warne didn’t just inspire
a cricketing generation – he
defined it. Born for the big occasion,
he gave us irreplaceable MCG
memories: the Ashes hat trick, his 700th wicket
and calming Bay 13 in his trackies.
In recognition of Mr Warne’s achievements
and legacy, his family have requested that
public attendees come to the MCG dressed in
their cricket gear.
There will also be plenty of options to view
the service for fans outside Victoria.
ABC TV, Nine, Seven and Ten networks will all
telecast the service live and the event will also
be live streamed at:

The Sky Blues ran rampant
and had balls cleared
off the line, hit the post, a
goal disallowed plus numerous
chances saved by Dumont
in the Melbourne goal.
It proved costly early in the
second half when a speculative
cross from Cooney-
Cross found the head of
Jackson.
Melbourne went further
ahead just after the hour
when a ricochet fell to Zimmerman
who smashed the
ball home.
A fiery encounter continued
when Vine equalised
two minutes later from
Rule’s downward header.
Vine and Lowe had chances
to pull the Sky Blues level
late on but it wasn’t to be
and Sydney FC fall at the
final hurdle.
“It’s heart-breaking, the
girls are devastated,” said
Sydney FC coach Ante Juric.
“They always pick themselves
up.
“If you put everything into
something and you lose,
that’s still winning, and I
truly believe that because
sometimes the scoreline
doesn’t reflect what actually
happened.
“But that’s just life. They
know they put everything
into it and deserved to win
but we didn’t.”
