@BT Sub Sport Gaz:UNDER 13
Cardinia played a spectacular game of teamwork against Baxter in a fast-paced and action-packed game on Sunday.
There were tense moments where both teams came very close to kicking goals, but the defence on both sides was too committed to let the ball get through them and their goalkeepers.
The final result was a draw, but it was definitely the best game Cardinia has played all season.
Scores: Cougars 0 drew with Baxter 0.

The young Cougars equipped themselves extremely well in both games against Endeavour Hills.
They showed a never-say-die attitude to finish out the first game 10-12.
Their skills enabled them to find targets more often than their opponents.
Their team play allowed them to compete in the second game, but unfortunately they ran out of steam when they lost two substitutes.
Endeavour United won 7-2.
