[We] should have put the game to bed a bit earlier, but we dug deep and we got a result, and that’s the main thing at the end of the day. [It’s the] start of the season, so lots of positives but lots of things to work on.”
Reflecting on the game, Harvey admitted that Baringa could have managed the match better.
“Like I said, you know, we should have put them to bed early. We let in two goals early on which shouldn’t have happened. [We] missed a few chances early on. But, yeah, like I said, lots of positives to take away. We came back from 2-0 to win 4-3. So lots of positives.”
Baringa a next game will be at home in Baringa.
“We got BeeGee’s in the league just here back at home,” Harvey revealed. “That’ll be another fight and a tough game, so we’ll have to dig deep again and hopefully take our chances better this time.”
