TIME wasting tactics have seen Ballarat Red Devils hold off a fiery Pascoe Vale at Morshead Park and exit the league relegation zone. <\/p>\n
The McDonalds Reds recorded a 2-0 win with 26 minutes remaining in Wednesday night's conclusion to an abandoned round 18 match. <\/p>\n
Pascoe Vale started the match with blistering intensity, having been told by coach Vitale Ferrante beforehand that it was an opportunity for a \"free swing\". <\/p>\n
Several minutes of relentless pressure saw the Red Devils revert to sending the ball flying out onto the adjacent Pleasant Street at every opportunity, requiring extra balls to be fetched a number of times. <\/p>\n
One avid fan, at the request of keeper Aaron Romein, refused to toss the ball back in play for nearly 30 seconds before hurling it over the players' heads and into open space when instructed to by the match referee. <\/p>\n
All the while, the match clock ticked towards that magical 26-minute mark. <\/p>\n
Pascoe Vale's relentless pressure nearly saw it break through for a number of goals in the final 10 minutes of play. <\/p>\n
Romein displayed a strong set of hands to extinguish any chance of a successful header 19 minutes in, and showed enough nous to tip a long range strike off to the left moments later. <\/p>\n
