Our fourth 1-0 loss of the season. We deserved something out of all of them, but thats football.
With only 12 players available due to injury,suspension, overseas holidays and moving house, this was a huge effort, made all the more heroic after goalie glen succumbed to his troublesome calf after 10 minutes. Most of us played 90 mins, including our two close enough to 60 year olds at left and right back. The hogs had control of the match, especially with 4 subs, so we defended our best and tried to counter attack. We held out for 75 minutes before they bumbled in a scrappy goal. We had maybe 4 or 5 chances. Jon "lost keys" O'Neil, playing up front found space in the first half for a crack, Andres tried a few long rangers that werent bad. The second half saw eco-warrior hit the bar with a thunderous free kick from 25 metres out and AB displayed some nice touches to beat 2 defenders and hammer just over the bar after chasing an Andres through ball.
The defence was outstanding. Handball got the refs player of the match (probably because they looked alike), Rocket Rod was a colosuss at the back. The midfield of Slugger, Laid Back Phil Lally, Eco-warrior and Scarface had nothing left in the tank at the end. A match played in the right spirit, was quite enjoyable except for the fact we lost.
