Forrestfield coach Rod Banjac said wet weather and injuries played a part in the loss.
“It (the weather) definitely impacted a lot and certainly didn’t suit our free flowing style of play,” he said.
“We had a dislocated thumb, a dislocated finger, damaged knee, broken nose and a red card, so I think that’s what they call a tough day in the office.
“If there’s anything that really shone today it’s the guys at the back, they were really solid.”
