Strikers Pipped In Pre-season Opener

Sunday 17th Jan, 2010

The Brisbane Strikers’ first pre-season outing resulted in a 4-3 defeat at the hands of a strong Peninsula Power outfit at Meakin Park last night.

A young and experimental Strikers eleven took the park against the Power for a game that, despite the result, encouraged Strikers coach Stuart McLaren to say that that he saw “plenty of positives”. Triallist Tyler Thurtell scored twice for the Strikers, with midfielder Jordan Mason contributing the other goal.
