Lilydale-Montrose United suffer humbling defeats

It was a night to forget from Lilydale Montrose United, with both the firsts and the reserves suffering heavy defeats against Templestowe Wolves on Friday 31 March at Keith Hume Fraser Reserve.

In the first team game, Lilydale Montrose United defended resolutely for 25 minutes, before conceding three goals in a short space of time to head into the break 3-0 down.

Another three goals in the second half for Templestowe Wolves went unanswered, resulting in a final score of 6-0 against a strong side.

In the reserves, Templestowe put six past LMU in the first half, before an improved second-half performance saw Alex Whiting pull one back. The final score was a heavy 9-1 defeat.

After a break for Easter, Lilydale Montrose United will hit the road for three consecutive away games, the first against St Kevins Old Boys SC on Saturday 15 April.

Lilydale Montrose United’s Thirds also suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Mooroolbark in the Bayside and Vic Soccer South/East Division One, in an 8-1 home loss.

LMU will look to build back over the short break.
