Murray United players challenged by an NPL double-header

The under-14s held Oakleigh Cannons to a 0-0 draw at La Trobe University on Saturday and then hit the road to face Green Gully yesterday.

Murray lost 3-0 to Box Hill at under-16 level, playing second-fiddle in the first half and going in 1-0 down.
