Last week we went down 6-5 in a narrow contest against . We were so short of players, we needed James’ brother Tom in goals, and myself to play. You can never bag a player who comes in to help out, but I think with anyone else in goals we could have won. Of course without Tom we would have surely lost.
Things got out of control once the referee awarded a goal scored from the kick-off, the was taken before he blew his whistle to start the game again. Despite our protests the goal stood. And all this served to do was to turn the referee against us.
We conceeded many ‘fouls’ from some great tackling, and t was too much for some of the guys to bear, Andy and Ryan andJames recieving yellow cards for dissent. The final blow was when the referee sent James with a second yellow for making a fine tackle.
Just the other day we came away with a good 6-3 against . Again short of players, with James suspended (and at the Opera!), I played the entire game, which I still rew to today. Andrew arrived early to play the game before us with some ates, in the hope that they would lend their keeper in return for the favour. Unfortunately the poor guy broke his wrist in their pre-game kick around.
It was a damn hard first half, but we held onto the lead going into the break 2-1. The second half Phil went in goals, and with Andrew out on the field, we tore them up. The new system of fouls, similar to basketballs 5 team fouls, caused some troubles for use late in the game, however we outplayed them to win farily comfortably.
Unfortuntely no videos as I played in these games, but I don’t think I’ll keep playing, I don’t want to push my luck, so maybe some next week.
