Returning from suspension, South Melbourne striker Vaughan Coveny scored the only goal in the Albert Park Clubs 1 – 0 victory over Brisbane at Bob Jane Stadium last night. The win lifts South Melbourne to third spot on 31 points.

South controlled the game from the outset and should have been convincing leaders at half time. Coveny struck in the 32nd minute which was enough to secure the points.

South Melbourne will now take on the Melbourne Knights at Knight Stadium on Sunday, 16 February 2003. Kick Off 6.00PM.
