Just ask delighted Ipswich City midfielder Jay Kitching after the Bulls surprised Ripley Valley 3-1 in the historic Capital League 1 encounter between the regional sides. Bulls coach Norbert Duga rated the victory the best he had seen in many years at Sutton Park. One hundred per cent. That s one I didn t want to lose today, Duga said. It was the first time the Ipswich City Bulls and Ripley Valley clashed in the Football Brisbane Capital League 1 competition. New leader Kitching summed up the satisfaction after regular captain Joel Munn injured his hamstring following City s previous 8-1 loss to Pine Hills at the same ground.

Subscriber only 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.
