Week 7 (30 May)
RESULT: WIN 6-1
SCORERS: HARRY (3), DAVID (1), ANDREW (2)
Yes we managed to do it again – a very solid win over Carlingford Redbacks 6 – 1. Our goal score would have been much higher had not been for some excellent goalkeeping by the opposition as we were hammering their goal throughout the first half. We did eventually manage to get three past him, two showstoppers by Harry followed through by a nice goal from David. The first half was particularly one sided with only one breakaway by the opposition over the half way line, which must have taken our boys by surprise as he actually scored! Apart from this one mistake our team looked and played brilliantly.
The second half saw the coach allow Mitchell out for a rare run and Matt Burke did a sterling job as goalie in the second half. Two more goals from Andrew and one more from Harry saw the game finish easily in our favour. The change of venue and time seemed to work out OK for the team but the ground was seriously wet and muddy – most of which was brought home by Adam on his shorts as he went down after a hard tackle and slid a considerable distance. (Any tips on how to clean muddy shorts)? Gavin has decided to reinstate the Man of the Match weekly award and this was given to Adam for his consistent efforts throughout the game (and for looking the part at the end).
