Oakleigh Cannons Football Club

Mr DIMOPOULOS: It has been called a boilover or ‘cupset’, but us locals know the tenacity, passion and skill of the Oakleigh Cannons Football Club, who last night defeated Sydney Football Club 2 to 1 in the quarterfinals of the Australia Cup at Jack Edwards Reserve. Goals to Wade Decker in the sixth minute and Chris Lucas in the 31st minute set the Cannons up for the second half, when a determined Sydney could only manage one reply in the 74th minute. Huge congratulations to the Cannons, who are an incredible club, for the mighty effort, and our best wishes to them for the semifinals.
