NPL: Early buzz gets Werribee City Bees over the line

Werribee City flew out of the blocks with four first-half goals in the National Premier League clash with Goulburn Valley Suns on Saturday night.

The first-half onslaught was enough for the Bees to hold on in a thrilling game, winning 4-3 against the winless Suns at McEwen Reserve.

The Bees’ scoring started through Anthony Ragusa after 14 minutes before the Suns equalised through an own goal by Steven Cudrig at 22 minutes.

The rest of the first half was all about the Bees, who scored again through Zois Galanopoulos, Ryan Filipovic and Oliver Rowland.

The Suns hit back in the second half, proving the stronger team for the rest of the match.

Craig Carley reduced the margin to 4-2 in the 52nd minute and a Kristian Sarkies penalty with 15 minutes to go made it 4-3.

But the Bees had done enough and held on for the win, which moves them to fifth on the ladder with three wins and two losses.

Werribee City will play 10th-placed Northcote City away on Saturday for its next match.
