Michael Owen on Song


Owen (pictured left) scored two sublime goals tonight in a keenly contested draw at the Sportspark. His team led by three goals early on, but the colours replied with goals of their own, taking them into a 4-3 lead at the break.

The lead was constantly changing thereafter, and no one can complain about the final score of 7-7, which was a fair result for both teams.

The first piece of magic was a deft flick of the head, as a Stefan Clifford through ball fed Owen inside the area and he calmly slotted home for his 6th goal of the season. The second, again provided by Clifford's golden boot, was a sweeping right footer almost with his back to goal for another quality finish.

When asked about his goals after the match he modestly replied, "As long as the greens got the result, that was the most important thing. Of course I love scoring goals, but they mean little when your team ends up on the losing side. I'm just glad we got the point tonight as a defeat would have been a travesty considering the way we played as a team."
