The club made a strong start in their first-ever match last Thursday night, a 4-0 win over Carolina Springs George Cross in front of more than 3000 supporters.
Exciting young attacker Valentino Yuel – who signed for United in March from Bentleigh Greens – etched his name into the club folklore by scoring the club’s first ever goal with a bullet first-half header, while Connor Pain, Dylan Pierias and Apostolos Stamatelopoulos also got on the scoresheet.
