Saturday saw the Orangemen lace up for their second pre-season match, and though the opposition’s difficulty scaled up significantly from their last clash, the result was the same.
After downing Pre Season Soccer Academy a fortnight earlier, the Suns sent National Premier League club Hume City packing following an impressive 2-1 victory at McEwen Reserve.
Sean Grant put the Suns a goal to the good in the first half, finishing off a cutback, though Hume replied after the break in a similar manner.
But the game was ultimately decided by some Kiwi flavour.
New Zealand import striker Curtis Hughes marked his first appearance in orange with a goal, capitalising on a squeezing press and sliding it past City’s keeper.
The Suns’ next assignment looms this Saturday, welcoming Bendigo City to town.
