GSSA 2025: Bayswater throw away two-goal lead and chance for first points of season as Caledonians stay top

Basement dwellers Bayswater gave up a 3-1 lead before going down 4-3 to table-toppers Albany Caledonian in the men’s senior league on Friday, May 30.

Zachary Cash put the underdogs ahead after nine minutes and Henry Goldsmith added a second in the 29th to suggest a shock was on the cards in the Great Southern Soccer Association fixture.

And while Fraser Grant pulled one back for the leaders, Goldsmith grabbed his second just after the break to put Bayswater in touch of their first win of the season.

But Grant’s second pegged them back to 3-2 and the equaliser came on 62 minutes when Joseph Love scored.

Three minutes later came the kicker, a penalty converted by Douglas Grant for the winner, leaving Albany five points clear at the top and Bayswater pointless at the bottom.

Polonia were beaten 4-1 by Rovers, with Nick Irvine’s 65th-minute red card not helping.

Jeremy Wallis had put Polonia ahead, but scores from Joseph Iaruel and Justin Bielecki, Andreas Bouzinekis had put Rovers 3-1 up before Irvine’s second yellow.

Malachi Tsuki added Rovers’ fourth.
