god dammit our 7th loss by a single, solitary goal. This time the winner came in the 80th minute for the Makos courtesy of a Giovanni von Bronkhurst style 30 metre top left hand corner cracker. Could only stand there and applaud.
We started with 12, but slugger bro lasted 5 minutes before limping off with a hamstring injury and played no further part. Makos had no subs either, so by the end of the match all players were on a first name basis. The Whites decided to start with a 3-5-2 formation, which was abandoned after 15 minutes due to no-one knowing where they should be. The Makos opened the scoring midway through the first half with an unmarked tap in on the left, but the Whites responded almost immediately when Laid Back Phil Lally, playing up front powered home an immaculate through ball from an unknown source. Dennis saved a highly dubious penalty (another handball Dave special), we should have been awarded a penalty for the same offence 2 minutes later at the other end, and so the first half ended at 1-1.
Halftime saw the Whites look like a casualty ward. Going with slugger bro's hammy, Eco-warrior was battling a foot injury, the lost A still had the lurgy and looked buggered and AB's groin had flared up again. Back on we hobbled. The Makos kick-off was straight out of the under 6's and we nearly scored through a Keith/AB one-two. The rest of the half was open free flowing football, both teams plenty of corners, chances, long range shots, one eventually went in, just not for us. Special mention to goalie Glenn, everyones player of the match. Everyone played their hearts out, and we didnt get the rub of the green with any refereeing decisions, common on trips down south.
Time is running out if we want to reach our goal of 10 wins for the season. Next week the road trip to Jamberoo.

IFS, Figtree, South Coast Azzuri and Fernhill should be the 4 games we win to make up the 10 wins for the season ... 3 of those games are at home as well.
