Cholakian steps up for Manly United
A DOUBLE from Claudia Cholakian saw Manly United beat a stubborn North Shore Mariners 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.
In a typically fiery derby at Northbridge Oval, the hosts took the lead, only to see Chris Williams’ ladies respond in style early in the second half.
Cholakian could have finished with a hat-trick, but had a penalty saved.
“It was very physical at times, they (Mariners) were determined to ruin our top five chances,” Ally Green said.
“Thankfully we held on in the end, we just had to be patient.”
United next play Northern Tigers this Sunday at Cromer Park.
Kick-off is 5pm.
