An encouraging but ultimately disappointing start to the season. After leading 2-1 just after halftime, we done our usual trick of dying in the arse the final 20 minutes. How to combat this? Save our subs for later in the match? Change formation to protect a lead (or a draw)? All drink red bull at halftime? Points to ponder.
Lots of positives. The new trio Keith,Rod and Dennis all shone, bet you didnt expect this much work Dennis, welcome to life as a White goalie. Alex,Doug and Slugger all played with enthusiasm, and Kirk kept working away on the wings. Handball had his best match in ages, in the car driving out to cowra to pick up a couch his wife "won" on ebay. Dont worry Dave, Rod kept up the average of the central defence giving away a penalty a match with a neat little stiff arm.
Our goals werent bad either. AB put away a simple tap in after a floating cross from Les and nice flick on from Alex to level at 1-1, and SteveH's 20 metre thunderbolt gave us a fleeting lead. Les hit the post, Keith unlucky with the goalie in a one on one and big Steve ran hard all day.
The makos are a good team so no disgrace in losing to these guys. Next week doesnt get any easier with Shell City visiting the field of dreams and with both teams decimated by easter holidays should be an interesting war of attrition.
