fct Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Just to let you all know, Australia look well set to progress following a 5-0 win yesterday over the Solomons. Table: 1.

Papua New Guinea U23 3 0 0 3 3-17 0 they play Fiji in the crunch game tomorrow.

bcfc seattle Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 hmmmm not sure who to root for. I kind of don't want Australia to qualify. If they lose tomarrow we could have Wilkshire back for Tuesday though. Maybe they'll lose 4-3 with a Wilkshire hat-trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 difficult one - would love Wilkshire aback asap, but would love him to do well for Aus and qualify for Olympics :Confused13: Good luck to Luke and Aus anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephjnr Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 any chance of a webcast (either live or archived?), just to see how Luke's playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fct Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Not sure of that one but according to a report I have seen the Aussies are not impressive. Luke Wilkshire scored one of the five Aussie goals by the way, a penalty. But according to the report that was the highlight of his performance.

myoudale Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 question : have we had a player who has played in the olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fct Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 UPDATE: Australia defeated Fiji 6-0 with an improved display; Wilkshire provided the corner from which the Aussies scored number 2 and his performance overall was improved. Australia now meet New Zealand in the 2-leg play-off next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x3widRacin Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 would have been more fun had New Zealand not overcome a 0-2 Deficit to pip Vanutatu 3-2 for the top spot in Group B... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
