Our injury-riddled Jets took to Brisbane on Monday night to face the Roar for the second time in four days, but unfortunately the result was the same as the previous match.
Brisbane got off to a hot start scoring two early on and putting our Jets on the back foot immediately. We then struggled to get back into it, and the Roar were able to score two more in the first half to create a huge mountain to climb in the second.
While we had a our chances in the second half – the best of those coming through Elizabeth Eddy – no goals were found as the score stayed the same from half-time.
We end our season locked in eighth place on the ladder with ten points after grabbing two wins and four draws from the campaign.
