Well I have now experienced the "Derby Day" vs Umina Football Club. This also happened to be my first game with SEU.
The reserves got up 5-0 with Ned, James grabbing 2 each and Kev and Clint also getting on the score sheet. A great game by the reserves team and I am led to believe this a long time coming having been a few years since the reserves got over Umina.
With the reserves game being a little bit tame and not having the fire of a traditional derby day game, the first grade game made up for this.
With Umina grabbing an early goal, things started to liven up when SEU lost 2 players to some "interesting" refereeing decisions. Then with some frustrated SEU players and soft Umina players led to some heated moments. The first played hard with 9 players and eventually lost 4-0. But they will bounce back next week.
One thing I have noticed is how professional and club orientated SEU are. A great crowd was on hand, a presentation after the games, what a great club.
