AS an Ipswich team aiming for higher league football, Ripley Valley FC made a horror start.
"The first half was probably one of the worst I've witnessed as a coach,'' Nick Paterson said.
However, the Capital League 1 newcomers displayed some early fighting spirit by coming from 1-0 down to secure a positive 4-1 victory against New Farm in Saturday's away game.
"In the second half we came out and played like we should.''
The head coach was unsure why his team made such a poor start, especially after a recent 2-0 win over higher rated Samford in the FFA Cup competition.
