Mariners Men continue their unbeaten away run with a 3-1 win against Brisbane Roar at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.  This result sees the men accrue 8 points from 4 away games.

The Mariners started strongly and were rewarded with a goal in the 11th minute after receiving a free wide on the left.  Mikael Doka struck a curling ball into the penalty box with the ball coming off Brisbane's Walid Shour for an own goal.

From that point Brisbane started to dominate periods of possession with several chances going begging but the score remained 1-0 in favour of the Mariners.

Brisbane made a substitution for the second half in bringing on Jacob Brazete that strengthened the Brisbane attacks down their left-hand side.

In the 71^st minute, Brisbane levelled the score with such an attack.  Corey Brown’s cross went over the heads of all players in the Mariner’s penalty box to an unmarked Ben Halloran who scored.

This seemed to spur the Mariners and 10 minutes later went ahead 2-1.  A run down the right by Storm Roux resulted in him placing a beautiful cross into the Brisbane penalty box.  The cross was met by a running Harrison Steele who headed the ball in the top left corner.

Youngster Arthur De Lima was given his A-League debut when substituted on in the 87^th minute.  The teenager did not take long to make his mark by scoring in the 5^th minute of extra time to seal the win. 

After several passes moving the ball from the left side of the pitch to the right, it found its way to De Lima who made space for himself to get a left-foot shot.  The ball deflected off a Brisbane defender to loop into the goal just inside the right-hand upright.

The Mariner’s Men continue their string of away games whose next opponents are Sydney FC on 11^th January 2025.  The game is scheduled to be played at Allianz Stadium with a kick-off for 7:35pm.

Mariner's Women travelled to Perth to take on the Glory Women and are coming home with a much needed 1-0 win.

Going into the match, the Mariners were only one point ahead of their opponents and with a heavy schedule in the coming week will benefit from the win.

The match was evenly contested early with both teams having chances.  Mariners goalkeeper Sarah Langman made some excellent saves to keep our Women in the match.

With the score even at 0-0 at half time, the second half started as the first half finished.  Langman was again called into action to make a finger-tip save.

Scores stayed level until the 85th minute when a defensive mistake by Perth defender Chinnama saw her back-pass go past the Glory goalkeeper.  Mariners forward Jade Pennock was on hand to take possession and score into an open goal.

The win takes the Mariners women back into the top 6 on the ladder with other games still to be played over the weekend.

The Mariners women are next in action on New Years Eve as part of the NYE double header.  Their opponent is Melbourne City with kick-off scheduled for 4:15pm.
