Giants off to a blistering start
Coniglio kicks the first goal of the game inside the first minute, and then an off-the-ball free kick given away by Stringer immediately afterwards gifts Himmelberg a long-range set shot goal.
It’s the dream start for the Giants who lead by 12 points, 2.0.12 to 0.0.0 after just 44 seconds of playing time.
