Well it was an awful day, and appropriately, we played awfully.
The writing was on the wall in the first quarter by the number of saves made at keeper, and this was highlighted in the second quarter when they scored 2 goals. Keggie, you are never goalkeeping again.
Fortunately I have been given a special recognition award by the IHC for passing the ball in the box directly in front of their Down’s syndrome striker for him to score what will surely be his only goal of the season.
Robbie did score a stunning goal, Owen scored a dubious penalty to take him 3rd in the Golden Boot standings, and Rob scrambled one in as well.
Markos and Nick both had strong games, as did Dave and Rob, although I am going to stop mentioning Dave and Rob as they have good games every week. Sorry fellas.
It was our worst performance of the season however.
We were bloody lucky not to lose. Jamie managed to do everything BUT not put his hands all over the ball inside the box in the last minute, and how they didn’t get a penalty, we will never know. Although after the wink I saw Rob give the female ref a moment afterwards, perhaps he does.
It was hosing it down, the ground was a swamp, and we were not able to execute the “Total Football” strategy that has been so effective up until now.
Anyway, onwards and upwards.
